The stout talent Souleymane Cissokho claimed a magnetic win on the Gonzalez vs Estrada 2 undercard. He finished his opponent, Daniel Echeverria, in round 6 of the fight. The fight went a bit of distance but it was total domination from the 29-year-old.

Right from round 1, Cissokho walked over Echeverria and landed colossal shots. He didn’t let his opponent take control of the ring and responded to him with sublime attacks throughout.

Cissokho seemed determined right from the first bell. He annihilated the Mexican boxer and left him staggered with his dynamite-like right hands. He even dropped Echeverria in round 5 of the fight, and by then it was clear who the actual winner of this bout was going to be barring any freak one-punch comeback.

Moreover, the undefeated boxer came up with a rugged game-plan to attack, defend and use the ring well. He even dodged a few of his opponent’s shots, stayed out of range on occasions, and showcased a slick defense. Simultaneously, he gave slick counter-attacks as Echeverria left his guard open.

With this win, he improved to 12-0 and solidified his spot on the super-welterweight roster. He looks abruptly ready to elevate his career from hereon and take on some staunch contenders in the division.
