http://en.itar-tass.com/sports/763601 MOSCOW, November 25. /TASS/. Hollywood star Mickey Rourke says he has lost 15 kilos ahead of his boxing match in Moscow set for November 28. Rourke, 62, will appear on the ring 20 years after hanging up his gloves in a five-round match versus the 29-year old American boxer Elliott Seymour at the Rossiya concert hall in downtown Moscow. etc etc
He looked very slow and poor on the pads. I expect him to lose but he does win the guy he is fighting needs to retire and never step foot in a boxing gym or get involved in a street fight again for health purposes.
Why the hell is he doing this? Has he given any interviews about this? I'm really curious as to why he would do something like this. He kinda always struck me as a guy who was insecure about his masculinity and always had to do silly things to prove how tough and manly he is, but I've not seen that many interviews with him, so maybe I'm way off.
Mad Mickey's looking good, good for him. He's a quality actor and the film Angel Heart he was in with Robert De Niro was class. I remember back in the day when Rourke was fighting there was talk of him boxing Nigel Benn :rofl
