Recent Form
Raquel Miller (W-W-W-W-W): Perfect 13-0 with strong momentum prior to her layoff. Key recent victories include a TKO stoppage of Angie Paola Rocha (March 2023/2024 context) and earlier wins over Sheila Cunha, Sonya Dreiling, and Alma Ibarra. Has shown consistent finishing power and ring control against credible opposition. The long inactivity is the only question mark, but her pedigree suggests she enters sharp.
Adriana Dos Santos Araujo (L-L-L-W-W): On a three-fight losing skid in her most recent bouts (all 2024):
Nov 2024 – L UD 8 vs. Mary Casamassa (WIBA World Middle title fight)
Apr 2024 – L UD 8 vs. Melinda Watpool (Watpool down twice)
Oct 2020 – L UD 10 vs. Chantelle Cameron (WBC title fight; missed weight)
Earlier wins came against lower-level domestic opposition in Brazil (2019–2020). Araujo has been competitive but outpointed by higher-tier fighters.
