I am attending this card and I really hope this dude Kautondonkwa turns out to be the next Azumah Nelson. Ya never know. Maybe i'm being optimistic but............. only time will tell!

That's just the WBO saying it nicely.
Do you think the WBO said "Pardon us, Billy Joe, but would
you please consider vacating our title, please?"

No, it's a fact.

Melonhead_Jeff would be more appropriate.

Get your head out of the clouds, fool.
The fact is that Saunders voluntarily relinquished his
WBO title to avoid a WBO investigation which would
probably have uncovered even more damning evidence
against him.

The WBO would have stripped him of the title when their
investigation was complete, so Saunders vacating the title
was only to avoid the inevitable eventuality of being
stripped, and to prevent even more embarrassing
revelations about him from being brought to light.

Vacating the title was not a noble act by Saunders to
bravely hold himself accountable for his own misdeeds.
This was more like a pathetic mouse dropping his piece
of cheese, and then running to hide in the shadows when
you turn-on the kitchen light.
