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

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.

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.

He should fight somebody like Spike or Murata before talking about title fights.

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.

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.
