Sometimes you can believe what you read on the internet. As a skeptic from birth, I couldn’t trust that the story on Sean Woodson’s Wikipedia page that it was a doctor who convinced his mother to let him put some gloves on and fight was true.

But it is.

“I was pestering her and annoying her a bunch for a couple years to box,” recalls Woodson, who faces Fernando Padilla this Saturday in Tampa.
