I just read about Mickey Rourke, the actor. He stopped boxing at 20 and then resumed it at 39!
During his boxing career, Rourke suffered a number of injuries, including a broken nose, toe, ribs, a split tongue, and a compressed cheekbone. He also suffered from short term memory loss.
This is so sad, it's almost funny . Do you know of any other such case? Does it always have to end up like this? Rourke at least had the money to fix his face .
