At the time it was considered bogus by many — the UK jumped on the WBO bandwagon early to get title fights for their guys that they could promote...
Several of my near-misses had a repeat opponent early in their careers. Some of that could be ‘first fight was pretty good/close, let’s do it...
This crossed my brain for some reason and I came up with a off-the-top-of-my-head list of guys whom I couldn’t remember ever facing the same foe...
