Haven't seen Jackie Kallen in a long time. Last time I saw her on TV was in James Toney's corner around 20 years ago...
Now I saw her behind Mike Dallas Jr walking to the ring. Then after her fighter got knocked out cold, she was positioning herself "Watson Twins" style behind Matthysse to be on TV ... :)

I can't remember, is the first season with Sergio Mora, Alfonso Gomez, and Ishe Smith? Wasn't De La Hoya in there somewhere too?
I heard that story, about Tony threatening Kallen.
She was also on the first season of Contender on NBC has a counselor for the fighters, that first season was the best, they had sly stallone with his office in the fighters home it was pretty cool.
I remember she said Toney threatened to kill her over the phone or something, also she is kinda two faced, she will ride certain fighters and than later if they lose badly she jumps off them and praises the other fighter.
Yeah I seen that movie. Its OK.
My cousin and I were at the gym and we noticed her sitting down on a bench, she was talking to some guy.
My cousin walks up to her and ask if she's a fighter? She smiled and said no, I'm a lover, and handed him her business card.
Maybe I watch the movie then...
Thanks for info.
Funny that she said she is a lover.
By the way I only recently found out why Toney was wearing the star of David back in the day on his trunks. It is because Kallen who is Jewish wanted him to do it.
Interesting. By the way, has anybody seen the movie about her? "Against the ropes" I think it was called, I haven't watched it yet. Is it worth watching? Anybody seen it?
I usually like boxing movies but I didn't bother watching this one yet.

Yeah that's her. I thought the same thing, haven't seen her in a long time. Side note, I seen her in person at boxing gym in in downtown L.A. years ago. She was cool, approachable.
