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'."
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.
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
