I was working in Sydney about 5 years ago and I saw there a boxing show in Randwick, I thought I'd go, only a couple of pro fights mostly amateur but Jody Allen happened to be on the bill. He was fighting a debutant named Justin Kallu, who had massive support. All his fans probably half the attendance were wearing t-shirts with his name on it (and some religious stuff). Anyway long story short he was outboxing Allen when Jody knocked him out. Big surprise, I watched the remainder of the show then caught the bus back to city, Jody Allen actually jumped on the same packed bus and stood next to me. We had a good chat, nice bloke. Anyway I retold this story when I used to post on boxrec and rubbed it in a bit to all the Aussies on the Aussie and pacific forum. Nek minet Justin Kallu is on there offering me out, asking if I wanted to come down the gym and jump in the ring with him, haha. I ended having a series of private messages with him and within a week it had calmed down, I hoped he'd do well after that but after a win his career kind of fizzled out. Shame he came across very well, considering....
