ive yet to go out cold, but i have been caught in a blood/carotid artery choke before.
my experience (may be same/different than others, dont know) - i felt it real quick, as soon as it was locked in and started to get squeezed, probably within 3-5 seconds my head was buzzin and started to get tunnel vision kinda. i tapped right away as i wasnt really lookin forward to getting choked out cold in front of everyone.
blood choke or a choke across the windpipe is much slower. to be honest, the pain of having your throat/windpipe crushed hurts as much if not more than the actual lack of oxygen. I've never got stuck (or refused to tap) from an air choke to the point where i felt like i was going to pass out.
chances are, if this kid didnt know what he was doing (and if the guy started to turn blue) it was an air choke not a blood choke. if someone that knows what they are doing gets you in a solid sleeper hold/RNC as a blood choke you will drop like a sack of potatoes in about 5 seconds or less.
It's quite possible that the guy got caught in a blood choke since you don't feel any pain or restricted breathing that sends you into panic mode.
if the kid somehow caught the big guy in a blood choke, $#% was everyone else in the room doing? just due to the size difference, the kid may not have been able to feel the big guy go out, but all the other spectators in the room shoulda been able to see it way before 30-40 seconds.
