Stevenson status stable but critical

The medical team treating Montreal boxer Adonis Stevenson in a Quebec City hospital says he remains in stable but critical condition. Dr. Alexis Turgeon told reporters Wednesday that Stevenson had surgery soon after he was brought to the hospital from the arena by ambulance following his bout on Saturday night, when he was knocked out by Oleksandr Gvozdyk of Ukraine. The doctor at the Hopital de l’Enfant-Jesus says Stevenson suffered a traumatic brain injury and has been in intensive care since his surgery. He is sedated, under artificial ventilation and is undergoing neurological monitoring. Turgeon says it is too soon to offer an opinion on the boxer’s short- or long-term prognosis.
