Just figured out earlier that in one calender month every one of the top 8 (per TBRB) Bantaweights will have fought another top 8 Bantam:
2019/11/07
N. Inoue (#1) vs Nonito Donaire (#4)
T. Inoue (#6) vs Oubaali (#5)
2019/11/23
Nery (#2) vs Rodriguez (#8)
2019/11/30
Tete (#3) vs Casimero (#7)
Now that's the damn way to do things. I was just trying to figure whether anyone recalls a similar situation happening in another division in recent memory cos I sure as hell don't. I think the WBSS cruiser tourney quarter finalls in Sept and October '17 were the closest I can recall but took place over a slightly longer period and missed a couple of top 10 dudes - Bellew and Vlasov plus I think Perez had barely moved down from HW and wasn't really ranked at Cruiser.
Anyone think of anything else comparable? Can anyone actually imagine this shit happening in one of the money divisions like 147 or 154?
