Here is my recap of Mickey Rourke’s latest acting gig. Part of the upcoming Sunday Report Card at XN Sports. Stay tuned! Mickey Rourke TKO 2 Elliot Seymour, light heavyweights The fight was fought at a catchweight of 180 lbs, but there were other catches involved as well. The most noticeable one is that the fight was labeled as an “exhibition,” although probably nobody will ever be able to tell what these two intended to exhibit here. The official result, for what is worth, is that Rourke (7-0-2, 5 KO), one of Hollywood’s most notorious train wrecks, with an uneven (as in “from glorious to horrendous and all the way back”) acting career and an even more questionable track record as a plastic surgery recipient, took his unbeaten record one step further at the age of 62 with a stoppage win over a made-to-order opponent in 29 year-old Seymour (1-10, 1 KO), with an emphasis in “order”. That’s because Seymour appeared to go down to one knee to take the full count in a clownishly choreographed move in the second round, as if on cue, after a few otherwise inconsequential body blows. Whether he was ordered to look intentionally that bad is debatable. The fact remains, however, that another acting massacre was perpetrated, and the decision on who was the best actor of the night is yet inconclusive. The upside? Rourke will NOT be needing another plastic surgery to repair the damage suffered in this fight. Yes, it takes very, very little to make us happy.
