Shelly Vincent’s World Championship Moment: Remembering Her 2014 Victory Over Jackie Trivilino
The UBF looks back at November 7, 2014, when undefeated Shelly Vincent defeated Jackie Trivilino by majority decision to capture the vacant UBF World Super Bantamweight Championship in Rhode Island.
Shelly Vincent entered the ring undefeated. Ten rounds later, she left as the Universal Boxing Federation World Super Bantamweight Champion.
On November 7, 2014, Vincent defeated Jackie Trivilino by majority decision at the Twin River Event Center in Lincoln, Rhode Island, capturing the vacant championship in a significant moment for her professional career.
The judges returned scores of 96–94 and 98–92 for Vincent, while the third scored the contest 95–95. The result extended Vincent’s unbeaten record from 12–0 to 13–0 and placed her name in the UBF world championship record.
An Undefeated Contender Meets an Experienced Opponent
Vincent brought an unblemished professional record into the championship contest. Trivilino entered at 9–8–3, carrying experience that included a previous meeting with Heather Hardy.
For both women, the vacant UBF championship offered an opportunity to leave Twin River with a world title. Their contest was scheduled for ten two-minute rounds, and the championship ultimately went to the scorecards.
Two judges favored Vincent, although their margins differed considerably. The 96–94 card reflected a narrow advantage, the 98–92 card gave her a wider lead, and the even card meant the official outcome was a majority decision.
Those scores establish the result without telling the complete story of every exchange. What remains clear in the record is that Vincent completed the championship distance and secured the verdict necessary to become champion.
A Championship Night in Rhode Island
Promoted by Jimmy Burchfield’s CES Boxing, the event brought Vincent’s world championship opportunity to Rhode Island.
The title victory became a defining entry in her career: an undefeated fighter taking the next step and emerging with the UBF World Super Bantamweight Championship.
The achievement also belongs within the broader history of women’s boxing. Championship records preserve the athletes, opponents, venues, and results that help explain how the sport developed. Vincent’s victory and Trivilino’s challenge are both part of that history.
Remembering Both Fighters
While Vincent earned the championship, Trivilino deserves recognition as the opponent who contested it with her over the full ten rounds. A championship milestone cannot be documented fully without acknowledging both participants.
For the Universal Boxing Federation, revisiting this event is an opportunity to recognize Vincent’s accomplishment while preserving an accurate account of the contest.
Twelve years later, November 7, 2014, remains the date Shelly Vincent became a UBF world champion—a lasting moment in her career and in the federation’s championship history.
