One does not need to be hit in the head to be knocked out or have a brain injury. It's the brain hitting the skull inside the head that does the damage. A person can simply be hit very hard and have the rapid momentum decrease result in the brain slamming into the skull and the guy being knocked out. Now obviously it's easier to have that momentum issue if the head is hit directly but it need not be the case.
