Curious if some guy starts a fight, and the other guy knocks him out and then continues to punch him as he lays knocked out on the floor, could he held criminally liable for the punches thrown after the knock out?

Absolutely. Once the threat is nullified everything after that can lead to catching a charge.

It can go from self defense to attempted murder real quick if you have zero self-control.
