Aaron Wallace, otherwise known as "Woodshed" or "Woody" is a
mixed martial arts heavyweight in Las Vegas. He has been
fighting since he was twelve years old. Woody fought, first
out of necessity, to survive in his neighborhood, then out
of opportunity, and now out of an actual desire to be a cage
fighter.
Woody's trainer Gil Hobbes, a Brazilian black belt in
Jiu-Jitsu, owns the gym where he trains alongside a group of
Brazilian men. Woody is interested in their sister, Marcela
who comes to the gym and happens to be really good at
Jiu-Jitsu.
Woody's previous opportunities may have been legally
questionable and he would like to leave his past behind him.
He gets a chance to do so when the president of Warrior
Inc, MMA's largest organization, offers him a
rematch against someone who has only lost once, to him.
Woody jumps at the chance, even though the fight is just
days away.
Lots of action-packed pages await the reader as Marcela's
brother gets involved and Woody's stamina is tested again
and again. Although I'm not a fan of fighting, I really
enjoyed this story. Woody, along with the other solid
characters, will entertain you and the plot is exciting and
fast paced. You'll be turning pages quickly and if you are
like me, you might even be moving your elbows in tandem with
Woody's punches. The description is vivid. I welcomed the
opportunity to review Jeremy Brown's SUCKERPUNCH. I was
pleasantly surprised.
No head butts, groin strikes, eye gouges, or fishhooks. He'd
go along with it, but heavyweight mixed martial artist Aaron
"Woodshed" Wallace thinks they're taking all the fun out of
fighting.
Stuck on no-name cards for tiny organizations, Woody is
trying to put his shady past behind him with help from his
trainer and mentor, Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt Gil Hobbes.
When Banzai Eddie Takanori--president of MMA's largest
organization, Warrior Inc.--offers Woody sees his shot at
salvation.
By the time Woody figures out he's just a pawn in a
high-stakes game between psychopaths, he's in way too deep.
