Coles notes :

"For reasons completely unbeknownst to anyone except himself, Mickey Rourke decided to revive his boxing career at the age of 62.
He fought an exhibition match against 29-year-old Elliott Seymour in Moscow.
It was to be a five-round bout.
Rourke dispatched with Seymour in two..."

And the show goes on...

 

[Smash]

Wow, can't believe Mickey Rourke is 62. I thought he was 56.
The guy he fought had a 1-9 record

 

[Berlin]

Yup, Elliott 1 - 9 whatever-his-name-is.

I have always enjoyed Rourke's acting , and even his photography back when he was with Carrie Otis .
But this ... hope he's prepared for what may be happening to his face should this boxing career become something other than PR.
Can't imagine Rourke getting more mucked up with more plastic surgeries.

Assuming the fight wasnt fixed (which it probably was), still an impressive win for a 62-year old

Not sure if it was fixed, Rourke sure sure had a surprised look on his face, when Elliot went down the second time !!

 

[Celticman]

I boxed for 14 years as a kid and a young man in the UK. The whole thing looked phony to me.

 

[Indiana]

There were better fights than that to watch on Black Friday.

 

[Pistola]

Holly shit what a shit fight. Who would pay for that.

 

[Insidious Von]

Mickey why?

I hope he doesn't end up like Mark Gastineau. He boxed someone who could actually fight and got knocked into next month.

 

[AK-47]

Mickey why?

Mid-life crisis

 

[Titalian]

Mid-life crisis

At 62 ??? Give me a break, Mickey Rourke does whatever he feels like doing, at that point in time in his life. He was at one point a good boxer,
But he was always a Great actor especially in his earlier years. He was just disgusted by the Hollywood scene. I will always admire for him, as a repel but more so for his acting skills !!!

Don't have your experience, but read an article today in which it was stated that Elliot Seymour is homeless man who was told to throw the fight.

How much do you think Elliott made on this fight ? And if Rourke set this up, to make himself look good? Well then he's just a piece of shit !
I think there's more to this, than meets the eye....

This is something about which I claim no knowledge at all other than what I've read.

You do realize you only have to bribe one of the boxers to throw a fight, not two. Right??!!

The fact Rourke looked surprised actually tells me the fight might have been fixed, because Rourke is a good actor after all

Yes he is a good actor, but he has also been very outspoken about the movie and acting industry, And they hated him for it, all because he was so popular !!
I don't know what happened in this fight, But I am positive he will speak out on with his own opinions. Let us not condemn him just yet.

Daily Mail is a rag paper anyways, its only one step away from sinking to the level of National Enquirer.

Having said that, they do occassionally get their story right

 

[Potang4U]

What a stinker of a fight. An aging boxer away from the ring in years. And a small fry with a dismal record. With that win Rourke wants to fight 4 more fights in Russia within 2 years.

 

[AK-47]

His SO is Russian, and pretty damn hot.

You might be right. But he luved the ring, and meeting his contenders head on. Where by, he never had a chance, in the cinema world. And He throw it all away, for his inner beliefs.
Was he wrong ? I'm not sure, he had the potential of becoming one of the few, greatest actors, his only problem was that he was politically incorrect ! When I look at any mass
system of leadership today I wonder if he was not far off from that mark, when he was younger in his industry ! All I can say is I admired his acting, he was believable!!!
