The WBC cut fights from 15 down to 12, in '83. This was after Mancini-Kim.
The WBA followed, I believe, in '87.

The last 15rder I remember was Orlando Canizales vs. Kelvin Seabrooks...which was an IBF title fight back in the summer of '88.

Wait....Paez-Calvin Grove happened after that fight, I believe. That was a 15rder.
