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.
