This. I'm just intigued enough to go and try and dig it out on Boxrec though. Just a moment...
Aha. Here, Estrada vs Adkins for the WBC Silver apparently. Fastest KO in female boxing history apparently.

Absolutely irresponsible of the WBC frankly, but as in the men's sport that's kinda how they roll.
In the heavier divisions, MW / SMW these kinda absurd mismatches are almost inevitable because there is so few women boxing but at 108 this should have been avoidable.

Mmm. Funny enough can't find Adkins rated by the WBC at either 108 or the adjacent divisions. It is one of the unavoidable problems with the womens sport though... say at 108, there's 148 registered female pro boxers. Split that down between the 4 orgs and you get at situation where each org might have only 20 or 30 women in their rankings... and of course it's even worse in the higher divisions (which is how they wrangled a shot at 2 vacant titles for Habazin of course).
