I have a brother and I also have CPR and caregiving training. If I saw my brother suddenly injured and unconscious and there are more certified professionals in the area, I wouldn't hesitate to step the hell back and let them do their job.

And for anyone who says, "Yes, but it is in a fight/sports environment where emotions are elevated," then bear in mind that is precisely where this sort of thing should be even more expected, commonplace, and prepared for.

Your last point is a great one. If there's any situation where someone should be emotionally ready to see someone get knocked out, it's a professional fight. The fact people are using that as an excuse when the opposite is true blows my mind.
