Nearly a year ago, Jaime Munguia thrilled boxing audiences with an epically unmatched performance that showcased his talents and unquestionable conditioning. One of the few questions that remain for the unbeaten super middleweight is whether now a step up in competition will result in a step up to a world title fight.

Don’t get me wrong: As a spiritual person (even my purple aura color says so), I’m the first to believe that your thoughts become your reality. But declaring “love” for myself has often felt a little disingenuous. I always figured it was my natural aversion to lovey-dovey emotions that was holding me back (typical Aquarius here).
