Mickey Rourke's boxing comeback - Twitchin Kitten - 11-29-2014
OK you all know Mickey Rourke is a boxer then an actor. Did anyone know at 62 he was vying for a boxing comeback and had scheduled a fight in Moscow?
I knew but I didn't keep up with when it was going to happen. Well it did last night and the old man won! I'm going to see if I can find video. The link below is on a quick preliminary search.

OK I found video AND it turns out it was an exhibition match for 5 rounds.
This article makes it all sound pretty lame. I didn't hear any scuttlebutt that it was for exhibition. Pfft. George Foreman did better by going back in when he was like what? 42 or was he in his 60's? Either way, he did a real fight.

Yeah, but you gotta give it to the old freak for going in and punching it out with someone.

yeah, I was just disappointed it was only exhibition. I haven't watched the whole video either. When I saw it was 13:00 long my attention span got real short.

Kinda like when I watched Barfly.
