Frenchman Michel Soro (33-2-1, 22 KOs) won the WBA interim super-Welterweight World Title on Saturday night, scoring a brutal knockout of WBA # 9 ranked Greg Vendetti in two rounds in the town of Levallois-Perret, France.
Soro cornered the American Vendetti against the ropes and then unleashed a barrage of three consecutive lethal right hands that drove his unconscious opponent to the canvas. The referee did not even bother to count. Soro issued a challenge to “all those world champions out there. I want to be the real, undisputed world champion.” -fightnews

Re: Soro smashes another American prospect
Does anyone rate Soro? What is he Interim or Regular titleholder?
He needs to challenge himself to a world level fight and get out of France.
Hearn should have him fight one of his prospect LMW’s instead of putting them against each other yet.

Re: Soro smashes another American prospect
I mean yeah he's probably on the back half of the Top 10 or #11 or 12 in his weight class at worst. He's a good fighter. Might not be an absolute Elite, but he's certainly better than most fighters he'd be fighting.Ruthless-RKO wrote: ↑10 Dec 2018, 10:35 Does anyone rate Soro? What is he Interim or Regular titleholder?

Re: Soro smashes another American prospect
He should fight somebody like Spike or Murata before talking about title fights.
Re: Soro smashes another American prospect
Not sure who considered Vendetti to be a prospect?
As for Soro, he's coming along well as of late. Nothing to be ashamed of with the close SD loss to Castano a few fights ago.

Re: Soro smashes another American prospect
Soro is very solid. A bit like Sullivan Barrera where they aren't the pinnacle, but they're formidable opponents that can reach bottom top 10.
