          Talk about a pretty good night for Shelly "Shelitos' Way" Vincent. The super bantamweight UBF and IBA World Champion pulled off an majority decision victory (76-76; 77-75 and 77-75 for Vincent) over Christina Ruiz at Foxwoods on Thursday, then took a knee in the ring to propose to her girlfriend Jennifer "The Bolivian Queen" Salinas.

          The fight was a rematch of their fight on April 3, 2015 which resulted in a Vincent victory by unanimous decision. Vincent is now 18-0 with 1 KO and a marriage proposal acceptance in the ring. A bout against undefeated WBC international junior featherweight belt holder Heather Hardy (17-0, 4 KOs) could likely become a reality after her win on Thursday. Ruiz is now 7-9-3 with 4 KOs.
