Stop trying to feminize him! If a 62 year old man wants to fight another man that's just men being men!
 
It always depresses me to see boxers past their prime in the ring. Actors too.

Go for it Micky!!!! He got more lead in his pencil then I do, that's fer damn sure. Makes you feel old and puny dudennit?

Aah I love Mickey Rourke. Hope the bit about paying off the fighter isn't true. I don't think it sounds like something he'd do. He's always been brutally honest about being a twat and all his problems in the past. Seems out of character.
 
I once spent a couple of hours with Muhammad Ali, overall it was a sad day. You can really get your brain scrambled in Boxing game.

You do know that Ali has Parkinson Disease don't you? And you really can't tell or don't know the difference between trauma induced brain damage and Parkinson?

After looking over your link and doing some quick searches, it seems the Daily Mail is the ONLY ONE that has reported the story of the paid off fighter. Another case of the main stream media not doing their due diligence? Hmmmmm.

Nothing wrong with testing your metal in the ring....I even think he doing it just because he wants too... which is admirable.
 
If true Rourke is a bad ass. But I'll by honest my gut tells me this wasn't a "fix" this was no more real than Pro-Wrestling and was done to get some free publicity. He wouldn't be the first celebrity to go do something for that purpose.

Head trauma is thought to be linked to Parkinsons.
 
He obviously saw the movie Grudge match and.....thought it was real...

Good for him for still going at it, if its what he lies to do, go for it.

I remember when he was big in the eighties/nineties with those watered down smut movies....9 1/2 weeks, Wild Orchid (or blue....?) and Angel heart.

Not that I am a good judge of what would be sexy in a guy, but I always looked at him in those roles like....Seriously?

Once upon a time boxing used to go fifteen rounds or until a winner. Officially it was the death of some dude that got the change but there were lots of other things like this linked to it. Imagine if our parents and grandparents had been baddasses like we all are today and just said to boxers what we say to football players. "WHAT YOU THOUGHT GETTING PUNCHED IN THE FACE WAS HEALTHY?! YOU KNEW WHAT YOU WERE GETTING INTO!!!"

There was a guy in HS I couldn't stand. He took pride in getting paint from all the opposing teams on his helmet.

I am kind of hoping that catches up with him.

Gloves were invented to make fights last longer and for fighters to hit harder than a bare-knuckle boxer could. I wonder if all the safety equipment in football has had the same effect.
 
Gloves were not REALLY made to make fights last longer though they had that effect. They are actually to protect the hands and yes ultimately hit harder but you've got to know at least one person growing up who broke a hand. I know at least two who broke hands twice in fights. Despite the fact that we did evolve to punch we're still not particularly good at doing it with breaking those tiny little bones in our hands.

Football gear MAY have the same effect I wouldn't know for sure. A quick look at wiki tells me that bareknuckle boxing apparently could and did go on longer than modern boxing. I don't know if that statistically normal or just something thatcould happen. I find even at various official sources (this is facts in general) they tell you about the extremes and often pretend that was in someway normal.

Interestingly if you look at injuries between "fake" pro wrestling and real UFC it turns out the combination of less rest time and real fights tending to end quicker if you have the talent for both dear god go MMA! You'll fuck yourself up less being a real fighter than a fake one.

I stick to keyboard warrior, TYVM! ~grin~

Actually I do know a kid that broke his hand. On my head. I barely got a knot out of it.
