Michel Soro Dominates, Stops Cedric Vitu In Five Rounds

•Nov 15, 2019

Michel Soro

Michel Soro remains a problem for just about any junior middleweight in the world.

The streaking contender picked up his fifth consecutive win, dominating veteran Cedric Vitu in five one-sided rounds Friday evening at Accor Hotel Arena in Paris, France.

What was supposed to be a competitive heat between countryman quickly developed into a rout. Soro—born in the Ivory Coast but who lives and trains out of Villeurbanne, France—established his presence early in the contest, which was fought for an off-brand version of the 154-pound crown.
