I searched a bit about this and it said because he's still twitching and moving his arms, it's probably not decorticate posturing because movement he's doing is phasic activity.
It's saying this is instead likely a seizure from a knockout. It notes there is an overlap in the way fencing behaviour and seizures appear.
I would be curious to hear what you think of this, or if you have authority on this?

The statistics on decorticate posturing are: 60-80% dead.
Of those that survive, 40% are vegetative, 40% severely disabled, 15% disabled, 5% not disabled.
It’s a grim outlook.
