About the Book
It's the punch you don't see coming that drops you.
Any fighter can tell you that. And Mickey Watts isn't just any fighter; he's one of the best in mixed martial arts, a top contender who seems to have it all: looks, brains and rich girlfriend who's crazy about him.
The fact his family is mobbed-up to its Irish-Italian eyebrows has never been a problem...until Mick throws one punch too many and finds that some debts can only be paid in blood.

Reviews (Excerpts)
- "What a great read! I'm a fan of boxing/fighting so I had to pick up this book. Right off the rip, the author throws you in the ring and makes your jaw and kidneys hurt like hell as you learn the sport one punch and kick at a time.[...] All and all, a great hook for the reader, excellent setting and scene construction, great backstory to better appreciate the protagonist, superb characterization as well as authentic dialogue, and a well balanced cadence makes "Cage Life" a thrilling debut novel." - Tyler R. Smith
- "Rich language,memorable characters, and sharp dialogue are clearly Watson's stock in trade. Cage Life takes you on a trip through the world of mixed martial arts and then makes a detour, dropping you smack dab in the middle of the New York City mob. You're never quite sure what's coming next, a choke hold or a bullet to the back of the neck." - John Fortunato
