Yuri Barashyan stops Yuri Potanin
Former two-time world title challenger Yuri Barashyan (26-5, 18 KOs), 31, of Ukraine came back after more than a year and a half of a forced hiatus and stopped 47-year old heavyweight Yuri Potanin (0-2) in six rounds in Saint Petersburg, Russia. Light heavyweight southpaw Barashyan twice fought for major belts, dropping wide decisions to Hugo Hernan Garay (WBA) in July 2008 and to Zsolt Erdei (WBO) in January 2009. He hasn’t fought since the last bout.
