James Toney and jackie kallen

From memory he blamed her for the Jones loss, coz he didn't really want the fight as he was weight drained and she knew it. Or something along those lines.

 

He threatened to kill her and they split. Did they not base a movie on their relationship, "Against the ropes"?

 

it's loosely based on that ...

 

They were obviously very close at some point, didn't toney used to wear a star of david on his ring shorts in respect of her jewish heritage?

 

yeah lmao that dude was all over the place ...

 

If memory serves me correctly, it was out of respect to Hebrew National Hot Dogs.

 

:rofl :rofl

 

LMAO!!!!!

James Toney was mad because he heard Jackie Kallen say during the Roy Jones fight that they were going to lose their HBO contract. Toney said he was mad that when he was losing, she was just talking about business.

Then Toney said Jackie made him fight when he wasn't physically ready to against Jones. He threatened to go to her house and shoot her.

They still worked together shortly after that, then split up.

I think years later, they actually worked together again, before splitting up another time.

 

toney only unbeaten fighter of any era.......reason why i love the art.

 

As far as I know he was unhappy that the Jones fight was made without leaving him sufficient time for him to get into shape. The story is he was so dehydrated from making weight that he was on a drip the night before the fight.

 

where is jackie today?
