S2 E32 | The Mental Game of Boxing: Stevie Morgan’s Path to Championship

The path to boxing greatness requires a level of sacrifice most people can’t comprehend. Lightweight fighter Stevie Morgan (15-2, 13 KOs) pulls no punches discussing what it really takes to succeed in professional boxing’s unforgiving world.

Born and raised in Tampa, Morgan’s athletic journey began with track and basketball before transitioning to boxing after wandering into a gym and being inspired by a young female fighter. Despite starting at the relatively late age of 28, her natural competitive fire quickly propelled her through the amateur ranks to become #3 in the country before turning professional.

Coach Moniette, her trainer and manager, doesn’t sugarcoat the brutal realities of boxing. He made Morgan study for a full year before her second amateur fight, ensuring she understood the sport’s dangers—including the approximately 13 fighters who die annually in the ring.

The conversation delves into Florida’s recovery from recent devastating hurricanes, where seven months later, many coastal residents still live in campers outside their damaged homes. Rob offers a firsthand perspective on the construction challenges and insurance complications affecting homeowners, including the FEMA 50-50 rule that’s forcing difficult rebuilding decisions.
