Who am I?

The only person I can think of is Wilfred Benitez.

Yes, when the subject is young boxers in world title fights, Benitez naturally comes to mind. But of course he had much more than 3 world title fights.

No it's not Benitez!

I actually ran into the fighters sister Bundana is looking for at the Ring 10 affair a few months ago! He just missed winning a World Title at 17, in fact if you added all the scores up, he actually out scored the Champion, But lost by a split decision.
