It was easy to get spoiled for a while.
Fans of lighter weight divisions saw Bantamweight come alive in recent years. Fans were seeing a deep pool deeply challenged. The best 118 lb. fighters appearing on Showtime, and the best seen on HBO, never squared off to seal the era.

The lineal Bantamweight title, vacant since the 1980s, remained so but the depth of fighters and fights made up for the lack of a finishing touch. The action continued up to 122 where we got Mares-Moreno, more Donaire show, and finally Donaire-Guillermo Rigondeuax.
