Woman reacts to Carter Efe-Portable boxing
Nne Sophia, in a Facebook post on May 2, shared a clip and pointed out that boxing is a regulated and dangerous sport and frowned at how the two celebrities, who are not professional boxers, were allowed to face each other without any regard for boxing rules.
She was particular about a 'rabbit punch' that Carter Efe gave to Portable on the back of the head, which is the occiput.
Nne Sophia noted that that part of the body is the location of the brainstem, which controls the vital body functions. She cited Prichard Colón, a Puerto Rican-American former professional boxer whose career and life were tragically altered during a 2015 match after receiving a similar punch.
According to Nne Sophia, the boxing match should have ended immediately after Carter Efe gave Portable that punch, adding that the streamer should have been handed a lifetime ban. Her statement partly read:
"...I was alarmed when I saw Carter Efe gave Portable a dangerous punch to the back of his head called a "rabbit punch".
"This is a very dangerous thing to do as it can lead to serious disability or death.
"The back of the head, occiput is where the brainstem that controls our vital body functions like breathing and our heart rate is located. I will not even talk about the cerebellum that controls balance and cordination which is also located there.
"A blow there can lead to respiratory arrest and cardiac arrest.
"A blow there can also snap the spinal cord leading to death or if you are lucky, paralysis.
"A blow there can lead to brain bleed.
"All these can lead to death..."
