Mike Reed likes math.
It’s why the 20-year-old pro junior-welterweight prospect is studying accounting at the College of Southern Maryland. In a way, math is also why he turned to boxing half his life ago.

Those accomplishments include wins at the National Silver Gloves in 2005, at the National Ringside World Championships in 2005 and 2007, at the Junior Olympic Nationals in 2009, and at the National Golden Gloves in 2011.
