Boxing and The Law of Attraction

Those aren't new, but still quite relevant on this board which still seems to be hung up on the "Law of Attraction" hokum.
Having just read both articles linked above for the first time today, I see no evidence for or against the Law of Attraction there. They just describe some events that happened and the authors' own theories on how the Law of Attraction was involved or disproved.

The Law of Attraction is very real, but people that do not understand arithmetic are not authoritative on the topic of calculus. In particular, people frame their idea of the Law of Attraction into their own belief system--it is impossible for it to be any other way--and the most common result is a lot of confusion until the belief system sufficiently expands to accommodate how things actually work.
