USMMA’s Matt Phinney Wins USA Boxing New England Championship Finals

December 17, 2008 //  by admin

Golden Gloves winner Matt Phinney, a manager and trainer at United States Mixed Martial Arts (USMMA) studio in Bellingham, MA won the recent USA Boxing New England Championship finals held at the Portland Boxing Club in Portland, ME.

Phinney a resident of Medway, Mass, won a unanimous decision over Hector Martinez of Holyoke, Mass., in the novice welterweight division. The New England Championship is his second “big win” this year. Back in May, Phinney won the regional Golden Gloves boxing tournament in Lowell, going 5-0 to be named Champion in the 152-pound division in his first novice tournament.

Though the New England Championship match is an amateur event, it is well-respected with thousands in attendance. Phinney’s goal is to progress in the industry of boxing towards the Olympics.

Phinney trains with Tom Hafers, owner of USMMA and Peter Welch, a former Golden Gloves champion and boxing trainer. Mixed Martial Arts, a compilation of combat skills involving Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Thai boxing, wrestling, kickboxing and judo, are incorporated into his training as a boxer. 

Along with training for and winning tournaments, Phinney juggles being a student (majoring in Sports Management) at Mount Ida College in Newton with his job at USMMA which includes teaching adults and children jujitsu, wrestling, and mixed martial arts.

Hafers, who has been training Phinney for five years explained, “Matt knows what he wants; creates specific goals; focuses on them; works hard and succeeds in attaining those goals. He’s a great role model. I’m confident he will make it to the Olympics.”
