    Gilberto ‘Zurdo’ Ramirez (39-0, 25 KOs) won’t be vacating his WBO super middleweight title after all, as believed by many. Ramirez, 27, says he NEVER vacated his World Boxing Organization title, according to Michael Benson, which means that the April 13 fight between Billy Joe Saunders and Shefat Isufi won’t have the WBO 168 lb title on the line for it like originally planned. The Saunders-Isufi fight is now pretty much meaningless without the WBO super middleweight title on the line. The only thing the fight will decide is who the #1 contender is for Ramirez. Saunders has the talent to beat Ramirez, but it wouldn’t be an easy fight for him like it would have been had he fought a limited guy like Isufi for the WBO 168 lb strap.
