Does anyone have any videos on here of Mickey Rourke?
I've got 9 1/2 Weeks.
Angel Heart was good too.
I mean of him boxing. He boxed for quite awhile.
The only actuall footage I've seen of Mickey Rouke is when he interupts an interview between Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank(that took so muh effoty to type) and James Toney pretty much calls out both of them. It's really funny because at that time Toney's wordds were very accurate and he would have indeed pwned both Benn and Eubank.
Although I can't find it at this minute, I've seen a fight of his on youtube and it was clearly fixed.Quote:

One of the dirtiest fighters i'VE EVER SEEN.
I dont think alot of it was purposefull dirtieness he just couldnt aim his shots worth a crap.Quote:

I'm not sure, it's just when that volume lands on foul zones you assume that at least some of it was thrown with intent.Quote:

Alot of it is also he keeps his head up,anything to the body he throws,he throws blind. Ive seen these kind of fighters before,it comes from down low,and he has no idea where its going to land.Quote:

The way he wound up his body shots,what should have been a hook,would turn in to an uppercut,but with his head up like that,he could never target those shots.Quote:

He really didnt know were in the hell the shot was headed
I know Toney and Rourke are friends and they sparred back in the day and I'm sure Toney did get the better of him.Quote:

Anyway I was watching the movie The Rainmaker for this b.s. law class and he was in it. And of course I didn't really pay attention so I had to look up the general plot when I got home to right this paper type deal. And I saw he was a professional boxer and where he was in a movie called Barfly, which was written by Charles Bukowski. I was just interested that is all and he seemed like the kind of guy you could cheer for maybe.
He did play Bukowski but Chuck wasn't fond of his performance, said he was a little too over the top for his character. Bukowski was a great writer, love his work. Notes of a Dirty Old Man is one of my favorites. Never saw Barfly though.
I've got 3 Rourke fights...
He was really rough around the edges and as Donny said really dirty fighter. I think theres something on YouTube.... Not sure tho.
Bro,see Barfly,I think Chuck was a little po'ed because it was a little too close to homeQuote:

Bullet, Rumble Fish, Wrestler, and Homeboy are the shit..
