Was the initial call that preceded it a held ball or a foul on the defender?
It appears to me that the first hit knocked him cold but he was sufficiently tangled with the player that he didn't fall until the second swing caused him to come loose.

You're not going to get a big reaction when someone's knocked out in one hit.

Edit: We have a saying in soccer; the less someone rolls around the more serious the injury is. The subdued (or if you prefer, delayed) reaction from the player is an indication of how serious the injury is rather than an indication of exaggeration.

I don't buy it, the 2nd reaction wasn't just being let go, it was a positive movement. His head, without being hit again, jerked away. It may have been a delayed reflex of some sort that I don't' understand but it made it look like he got popped again when there was no contact at that point.

I'm not seeing what you're seeing. It looks to me that his neck stays fully flexed backwards from the point that he's hit until he hits the ground.
