Boxing: Kirakoysan defends European super-featherweight title

BARNSLEY, England, July 13 2007

Armenia’s Leva Kirakosyan defended his European super-featherweight
title with a fourth-round stoppage of Britain’s Carl Johanesson here
Friday.

Johanesson hit the canvas three times before eventually succumbing to
a heavy right uppercut after one minute and 50 seconds of the fourth
round which knocked him out so heavily the referee stopped the
contest without the need for a count.
