So two guys are fighting, and one clearly has the upper hand. He beats the living daylights out of the other guy, but he just won't go down. After one particularly nasty hit, he finally falls. And yet, moments later, he's standing back up again, ready to fight. But suddenly, the fighter realizes something.
His enemy is already unconscious, but is still fighting.
This is when a Determinator goes to the extreme; even once he's been knocked out, he still won't give up. Whether it's grabbing onto an enemy's ankle in their last moments of consciousness, or standing up to fight while knocked out, this goes to show that a character will never, ever give up, even when he can't fight anymore.
Can be used with both heroes and villains; in the case of the latter, the hero will probably consider them a Worthy Opponent.
When this is taken to its Logical Extreme, you get a fighter who Died Standing Up.
Compare Attack! Attack! Attack!, where all a character can think of is to keep attacking.

Taken to silly levels (like everything else) in Ranma ½; the titular martial artist cannot be struck in his/her sleep, instinctively dodging and ducking attacks. OTOH, Akane tosses and turns in her sleep, pummeling anyone stupid enough to crawl into her bed. One author has noted that they'd probably share a bed quite comfortably.

Judoka and wrestler Masahiko Kimura once lost consciousness while sparring, but his body still executed a throw on his opponent. He also recalled having an Out Of Body Experience immediately after.

Variation in A Certain Magical Index, when Accelerator continues fighting Amata Kihara even after his electrode-transmitter thing runs out of juice (cutting him off from his powers). Without that electrode's help, he is severely brain-damaged, lacking the cognitive function to even walk or speak, or even understand others' speech. He just hates Kihara that much and continues fighting, albeit ineffectively until he Awakens, that is.

Subverted in D.Gray-Man when Krory fights Jasdevi. He has been trapped in an Iron Maiden, is unconscious if not nearly dead, and has lost the fight no matter how you look at it. The twist? His own blood independently comes out of his body and takes a human shape to continue the fight.

Naruto:
During Rock Lee's battle with Gaara, Gaara completely pummels Lee, crushing his left arm and leg in the process. Right before he goes in to make the killing move, Lee's master, Guy, jumps in to save him. However, Lee stands back up, ready to fight once more. When Guy looks into his eyes, though, he realizes that his pupil has lost consciousness, still wanting to fight even after it's over.
In the Raiga filler arc, Lee is able to fight against Raiga while unconscious through muscle memory.

Inuyasha: Inuyasha does this once, against Sesshomaru. After allowing himself to be stabbed through the stomach in order to retrieve the Tetsusaiga (for a given value of "allowed"), he quickly staggers and falls to one knee, bracing himself with his sword to keep from collapsing. Sesshomaru notices that Inuyasha's eyes have become unreflective, and that he has clearly passed out; however, as soon as Jaken steps towards him, his grip tightens on the Tetsusaiga and the ground in front of him explodes. Only after they leave does he allow himself to collapse in a pool of his own blood.

During Homestuck, in the Game Over timeline, Aranea, while attempting to doom the timeline for her crazy scheme, puts Jane (who was lightly mind-controlled by the Conderce) to sleep. Whether through sheer willpower or the Condesce using the mind-control tiara to keep her going, she tackles Aranea, while still asleep and snoring, and manages to keep her busy for quite a while as she tries fruitlessly to get out of her grip.

Weak Hero: In the flashback to Ben's fight with Donald Na it's revealed that when Ben got back up to face Donald after having a bunch of construction materials fall on him Alex noticed that Ben was standing in a fighting stance on instinct and wasn't consciously aware of his surroundings. Luckily Don got a phone call and had to call the fight off before he could learn of and take advantage of the fact.

In the Mega Man: Maverick Hunter X OVA, The Day of Σ, after X is impaled by Sigma's beam saber and given a Breaking Speech, he has a flashback to a talk with Dr. Light, finds some courage to keep fighting, and reacts for a brief moment, enough to pass through Sigma's saber and give him his signature scar (at least in this version). Sigma is poised to furiously retaliate, but then notices that X is now immobile (he kind of stabbed X right into his energy generator or something like that), so he retires, satisfied as he witnessed the unlimited potential Dr. Cain talked about.

In Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS, Subaru demonstrates the ability to fight even while knocked unconscious. However, this has less to do with her determination and more with her AI-equipped magical Device seamlessly taking control of her body while she is out cold.

In Street Fighter II V, during the final segment of a cage match between Ken and Vega, Ken uses his Shoryuken to send Vega flying into the chandelier above, knocking him unconscious. Vega briefly regains consciousness, long enough to take aim at Ken, and lets gravity do the rest as he passes out; which leads to the following monologue:

Happens sometimes in Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple. It happened to Kenichi during his final epic battle against Shou Kanou on the "D of D tournament". While he was fighting unconscious, the lack of moral inhibitions made Kenichi actually noticeably stronger, which amused his Evil Counterpart opponent.

Slightly unclear case: in the Lone Wolf and Cub manga, Itto dies standing up while wrestling with Retsudo for a sword in the midst of their Duel to the Death. It gradually dawns on Retsudo that this has happened, so he lets go of the sword and steps out of sword range. After a number of beat panels, Itto finally collapses.

Joe Yabuki in Tomorrow's Joe does this in his final fight against Jose Mendoza: By the last round Joe barely counts as conscious because of punch-drunk syndrome and yet he still keeps coming at Mendoza through pure instinct, causing the latter to have a breakdown. It doesn't end well for Jose.

Mob Psycho 100: Mob usually has a counter for the emotional stress that fuels his powers, ranging from 0% to 100%.

Happens quite often in Saint Seiya.
In a fight against Harpy Valentine, Seiya gets completely KO'd by Valentine's ultimate atack, only to kick him to death while still "completely unconscious".
In Episode G, while fighting a Titan, Leo Aiolia gets knocked out and still unconscious, fires off his Lightning Bolt to kill him, THEN wakes up.
