I don't want to defend these actions, Stevenson deserved his time and the fact that this is still being brought up regularly 20 years after the fact somewhat makes up for his shorter than expected prison time. That being said i've read the original version written by Caroline Touzin of the ''La Presse'' paper and the version you posted completely rearranges the order of the original piece. Leaves out the first part of it, the ending and other small details. Also you quote from it and the knife part and end your quote making it seem like he did it when the next sentence is ''Adonis didn't follow through...''. The original piece is ''Adonis Stevenson: la vraie histoire de superman'' it's a great piece everyone that wishes him harm in this particular time should read it and then post whatever they want after.

From everything posted and what's not been posted, the following may be what's probably been happening with Adonis.
Since there hasn't been any mention of surgery, likely he did not have surgery. [Unless they refuse to release this which is not usually the case.] His coma, I believe was medically induced. This usually means that he was having trouble breathing and they tubed him. And that went on long enough [the need for artificial respiration] that they induced the coma. It's a horrible feeling with that tube down your throat--gotta be sedated or have the coma induced.
If his condition has been upgraded to stable, it may mean he's off life support/artificial respiration/induced coma, or soon will be.
So it looks good for Adonis in that he will survive and likely be mostly intact. What, if any, long term deficits he's suffered remains to be seen. Therapy over time would likely return full functioning if the injury was not too severe.
Even boxer Magomed Abdusalamov, after several years of therapy is speaking words again, though he still is unable to walk. As you probably know he was close to death because the drs had told him; "go fly home to Florida and just get an MRI within a week" and a few minutes later he collapsed from sustained head blows throughout the fight.
The successful $22 million lawsuit against NYSAC led to NY having that next round medical "check up" law or regulation that we saw Wilder had vs Ortiz.Comment

To stabilise so quickly suggests an intraventricular hemorrhage, where there is bleeding in the ventricles of the brain, danger being that if pressure builds in the ventricles, the blood can push into the brain and damage brain tissue (blood is like battery acid to brain tissue). If stabilised, it suggests the bleeding and pressure under control and no 'brain damage' in terms of lost brain cells. Typically it might mean 6 weeks in bed with tubes coming out of his head to relieve pressure, then tubes removed and he should be fine. If there was blood/brain contact though - whole different story as part of brain gone and not coming back.Comment

if that's correct how long will he be in the induced coma and on art. resp.Comment
