That kind of beating absolutely changes you as a person. The brain damage alone is enough to change your attitude and general personality- often they'll become very irrational, irritable, impulsive, develop addictions, and do other things that are very far from the person they once were.
I've seen people changed from one kick to the neck. Never the same.
The worst damage comes when he's unconscious. He took at least 2 stomps to the jaw and a hard soccer kick to the side of the head after he lost consciousness. His body couldn't tense up or move with the strikes, all it could do was absorb the force.
