They have a 1 - 2 record in trilogies. Ward was the giveaway.

Marquez doesnt have a 1-2 record in a trilogy, the only guy he lost to twice was Vasquez, but he also beat him twice, so that isn't a trilogy in the end. The commonality is that they all have back to back to back fights vs a particular opponent, whereas I'd think most trilogies have some space between the fights?
Holy vs Ruiz: 1-1-1
Ampofo vs Armour: 0-3 (Ampofo's 3 Reagan fights were split up)
Norris vs Santana: 1-2
Marquez vs Vasquez: 1-1-1 (the 4th fight was spaced apart)
Ward vs Gatti: 1-2

Do you only count it a trilogy if all three fights come in a row?
I'd always just counted it as fighting the same opponent three times.

Both are trilogies, which is why I wrote

I count it as 3 fights total, whatever the spacing, so Ampofo-Regan counts as a trilogy just as Ampofo-Armour does. Those guys all have the specific commonality of doing 3 fights back to back to back at some point though, so not just trilogies, but also 3 in a row versions
Marquez and Vasquez had a 4 fight series, going 2-2. What is a 4 fighter called anyway? A quadrilogy?

The answer was that they all had back to back trilogies

Yeah back to back which is why I mentioned Ampofo and not Armour as Armour had a fight inbetween but for Ampofo they were on the spin
