Comments Thread For: Adonis Stevenson's Condition Changed From Critical To Stable

This link tells us that Stevenson walked out of the ring, then took a shower. Shortly after getting out of the shower he could no longer stand. An ambulance then took him via stretcher to a hospital specializing in neurosurgery and brain trauma.

So this means he began to suffer significant brain swelling at that time and as our friend above noted they drilled a hole to relieve the pressure, which was the first thing I wrote about. But Yvon Michel's tweets are sparse and few.

Since they keep saying the coma is medically induced, this implies that it's not from the injury itself. That's why I posted about lengthy ventilation [tube down his throat] which requires sedation or induced coma, if coma is not already occurring on its own.

The upgrading of critical to stable should mean there's significant improvement and he will survive and be relatively OK because this was a pretty quick status improvement.

Thanks for this.

From what I could gather, Stevenson is undergoing a medical procedure that is pretty usual in such circumstances.

"Stable" is a good sign, but of course things get worse if the coma becomes prolonged.

I know it's in french and you probably can't read it but trust me it's heart wrenching, things are not looking good.

Thank you again. I read the translation.This is the part I guess you refer to:

"Fight for his life
As I write these lines, I only know that Adonis Stevenson is in an artificial coma. He was trebled [trepanned] to relieve the pressure in his brain and he did not regain consciousness.
The risks are unfortunately too great that he never returns to him. Or that he lives with terrible consequences.
"Sisi", his love, is tortured by anguish. She asks friends and relatives to pray for Adonis to get along. Her [I believe the translation means to say "his"] mother, who went to the ring to see her son lying on the carpet, returned to Montreal. She is devastated."

That doesn't take into account the upgrade to stable from critical status.

Too early to tell I guess.

The author of the above article is TRÉJEAN TREMBLAY.
He is described as both a journalist and screenwriter of TV drama series. I don't know him, both we should maybe also note the 2nd profession above.

Most likely he knew about the status change because many other articles have been written about this in the same paper. This guy has been working for Montreals major news papers since 1974, i hope your right about him maybe trying to jerk a tear from the audience but i doubt it.

Well I note 2 things. First I believe there are 1 or more states [like serious] between critical and stable, that they did not use. Though there could always be a translation issue.

Secondly that article lengthily denounces Stevenson's detractors for bringing up his past. That inclusion is not relevant to a journalist's reporting on his medical state etc. So it may have been meant to jerk a tear as you put it.

I think Yvon Michel might be using misleading language. His statement: ''The state of Adonis has gone from critical towards stable from yesterday to today which is a relatively good news..'' ''L’état d’Adonis est passé de critique à une évolution vers la stabilité''. Note the words ''towards'' and ''évolution vers'', that would mean that he is not there yet.

This article says that, a few minutes after he got to his dressing room, the commission Dr. "did not find anything worrying."

But a few minutes later after exiting the shower, he was ill and could not stand.

I propose new rules for boxing. As it can take an hour or so sometimes for the brain to swell sufficiently to cause unconsciousness, or other serious symptoms, and on site drs are often unable to detect brain injury right away, all fighters who suffer a KO from a head blow, and all fighters who took many blows to the head, but were not KOed, should immediately be taken to the hospital for exam and brain scan.

It can be too late if you wait till unconsciousness, headache etc occurs.

Thanks I think the correct translation here is just the word "to."
Or to say "has changed [evolved] to stable."

So I think it means he is stable which should mean a big and significant improvement, and that he is not in a life threatening condition.

''...passé de critique à une évolution vers la stabilité'' would translate exactly to :''went from critical to an evolution towards stability'' That sounds a little misleading.
