Was Mickey Rourke Any Good
I never watched him fight,because I thought it was a sideshow,but I look at who he trained with..............
Was he any good?
Oh,nice quote
You get desensitized to pain and for three and a half years I developed these symptoms of Brain Damage - you forget what you did the night before. You have to get out when the doctors tell you to, otherwise you're on queer street for the rest of your life. One doctor said to me before a big fight, your neurological report doesn't look too good. I was like four fights away from a big, big fight and he said, 'Mickey, how much are they paying you? Look at your tests - you won't be able to count the money'."

Re: Was Mickey Rourke Any Good
He was good in The Pope Of Greenwich Village....And Great in Rumblefish.... ???
All kidding aside I never seen him fight so can't say....I was pretty much in agreement with you thought of it more as a sideshow

You forgot Barfly,he was great in that
At the time I was thinking "Oh what a joke",now I find out he was training with Toney and Monzon
And one of the greatest exchanges ever in a film
Wanda: I can't stand people, I hate them.
Henry: Oh yeah?
Wanda: Do you hate them?
Henry: No, but I seem to feel better when they're not around.

I have 3 of his fights.
I mean he was a tough as nails...
You know he fought very similar to Hattons style, and was very rugged.
Roach was the 1st to train him as a pro. Roach says that Rourke had a lot of power and when he caught you, you'd feel it.
I also have 2 Tony Danza fights. :D

LOL I forgot about Barfly....
Thinking about it I think Homeboy may have been the true story of his in ring career lol....
Micky actually grew up about 10 min from me..right outside Albany....or so I read I should say....I have only lived up here a few years...according to Box Rec he resides in Schenectady...a rocks throw from me

From what Ive read about his fights............
Well let me put it this way,I was born in St Vincents Home For Unwed Mothers in Philadelphia Pennsylvania
In a clinch I can hit you in the knot on the back of your head,your kidney,and a couple of places you didnt even know about,and from what Ive heard,he makes me look like a Choirboy at Czetochwa in his best cleaned robe
How did Danza look in his fights,Id almost forgotten he fought

Re: Was Mickey Rourke Any Good
Rourke was shiit, look how fake this guy is when pretending to be hurt when he drops, makes De La Hoya look like a trained actor for his performance against Hopkins ;D

Re: Was Mickey Rourke Any Good
Ross,thanks for putting that up
The guy didnt take a dive,but what Rourke did is WAY BEYOND dirty,its rolling with the hogs dirty

CC Mick,except for him getting wide on shots and leaning out of balance,he was a pretty nice little counter puncher
Go figure

Re: Was Mickey Rourke Any Good
I love the punch that he kod the guy with. It was a chopping overhand right but he threw it oddly kind of like he was playing hungry-hungry hippo with that guys head. Anyways, he looked like a very old style fighter. His balance was off and he still switched from orthodox to southpaw every five seconds which is kind of strange.

I must have missed it. Please explain. Looked like he hit him on the chin with an akward punch. What was dirty?

Believe me or not I have, I heard it crunch in a sparring session, every time I got hit there after it took the wind out of me but I could still stand and fight back
De La Hoya may have been hurt there but it wouldnt have had the effect that he made out, his stupid punching of the canvas! If he was that bothered aboutgetting dropped by a body shot, he must have wanted to win, if he wanted to win so bad why didnt he attempt to get up and try to fiddle his way throught he round rather than waste time with the amature dramatics.
He was happy with what hed done and hed earnt some cash, Ricky should take a fight with him, he acts like a bitch when cought to the stomach, maybe Ricky can go 2 up on Mayweather, stop Floyd then make Oscar throw more punches at the canvas than him

He lands it behind his ear,but thats not the dirtiest part,he turns his hand over in to what is known as a hammer blow
Behind the ear is illegal,but it happens,throwing a hammer blow,is no accident

Being from where Im from, a little dirtieness is par for the course,but blatant allways makes me laugh I cant help myself,I allways chuckle when Im watching the one Liston fight when he does one of the most blatant eye gouges Ive ever seen
Im sure for the combatant their against its no laughing matter,but the brazeness of moments like that,well I cant help myself,I start laughing
To additionally explain,Rourke hit him where theres no padding on the glove,it was more or less bone on occipital bone.And thats one of the turn your lights out spots on your head

Re: Was Mickey Rourke Any Good
I see why he quit. He wasn't very well coordinated. Will Smith looked better in Ali.

Re: Was Mickey Rourke Any Good
Danza: Hey Angerlaaaaa watch me hit this guy 3 times when he's down. Mooooonnnnnnaaaaaa! Johnaaaathaaaan! He showed him "Who's the Boss".

LOL. you're joking right? How you gonna compare getting hit in a sparring session to getting hit in a real professional fight with world class fighters?

CC bro, I didn't notice it on the first viewing, it just looked like a slap and the other guy was rolling around a bit, but looking again you're bang on. And you have sharper eyes than me. ;)

Re: Was Mickey Rourke Any Good
Fact is Rourke was a dreadful fighter here are has opponants records -
0-4
0-2
11-37-4
17-27-2
0-3
1-4
0-0
11-3-2
he drew with the second and the last if i remember rightly. he was nothing more than a freak show as he was famous.
Tony Danza could fight a bit , if compared Danza was more talented than Rouke.
-
Re: Was Mickey Rourke Any Good
Yeah, I agree with the posters generally. Rourke was not very talented, and he was too old to be credible by the time he did have his bouts. He only got coverage because he was a famous film star.
That said, though, he did get in the ring and have a go, and I never ever denigrate the courage of people who do that - no matter who they are.

Thats why he lunges for the hammer blow,he sees the guys got his head turned a little so he's got a clear shot at it
Very dirty,but it goes along way to explain those first round knockouts he had.
