Very strange....but you have to give Rourke credit just for trying at 62.

At the 10:50 mark, when they show Klitschko, I swear the blonde next to him was Michelle Beadle. Why would she even be in Russia watching a boxing match? Was there a bigger name on the card?

And that Seymore guy may be the worst boxer I've ever seen. He looked scared to fight the entire time. He's now 1-10 and I wonder who he beat to get the one win?

Thanks

Hayden Panettiere. She used to be the Cheerleader in Heroes. She's Vitali Klitschko's wife or girlfriend. And she either just had a baby, or is about to.

This was the main event. However, there were a couple real fights before:

"On the undercard, Olympic light-heavyweight champion Egor Mekhontsev continued his unbeaten start to his professional career, moving to a 7-0 record with a win over Ugandan fighter Joey Vegas.

Russia's Eduard Troyanovsky knocked out Jose Agustin Feria of Colombia in the first round for the WBA intercontinental lightweight title, moving to a 20-0 record."

Not sure who he beat, but supposedly he was a former California Golden Gloves Champ. That is hard to believe.

Rourke has been training with Mike Tyson's former coach Freddie Roach and plans to fight another four fights in Russia. Not sure why he's fighting in Russia. Maybe it's the vodka. I am willing to bet he drank a bit before the fight as he looks drunk to me in the video. Maybe he is preparing for a "Bar Fly" sequel. I love that movie! I'm guessing the level of competition may increase in the upcoming fights.

By the way, Rourke had a pretty good record as amateur in the late 60s early 70s with a record of 27 wins and three losses. He then later took a break from a very successful movie career to fight as a pro and had six wins, two draws and no losses.

He beat John Dunham in 2009 who supposedly had a 1-10-1 record as of Aug. 2013. Dunham was 0-2 coming into the Seymore fight.

Probably scared he's gonna kill the guy if he lets loose. Young guys can get cocky about how exactly able a guy can still be at the age of 62 - mentally and physically. I think he's actually a tad surprised.

Thanks

Mickey claims to be "passionate" about the sport.

He truly was and is brain dead.

A drunk lying on the ground shows more form and experience than Mick.

Shows ABSOLUTELY no training at any level whatsoever, for Gods sake, he's an actor and cannot even fake looking like a boxer.

Not even the basic stuff they teach kids...., no form, no footwork, no study, no self analysis, no defense, no offence, no jab, hook, uppercut, cross, no speed, timing, power, combinations, instincts, basically, NO RESPECT for the sport he "claims" to love so passionately.

Take your neighborhood drunk, bust both his knees with a bat and cut off all his toes and he will still have more fluid, form, finesse and structure in footwork than this clod.

I'm sure he barely touches a speed bag, heavy bag, top and bottom bag, do pad work, or even skip rope.

His punch delivery is even more embarrassing than any female on the planet, even those with amputated arms.

Had another actor/biker as his trainer early in his career, no wonder he got his face whipped into egg-whites.

Fights, if you call it that, worse than the worst drunkards you ever laid your eyes on.

Just do a Robin Williams and be done with it..., Mick just keeps taking a dump on the sport every time he steps into the ring, a mockery that is not even funny, and I love to laugh.

Seen better fights with girls mixing it up, pulling each others hair.

Guess he wants an audience to watch him commit s-l-o-w suicide and self-punishment.

The board that gave him a licence to fight and allows this abortion as entertainment should be banned for life , sued and fired.

Jesus Christ, even drunk out of one's mind, who can even fake being THAT bad?

Oh come on now - don't hold back. Tell us what you REALLY think.

Ha ha - yeah, this was a pretty bad display. For 62, he MAY be in better shape than most 62 year olds, but he's certainly no boxer.

LOL - on one site someone wrote in the comments that it was his "rope-a-dope" - by faking a heart attack.

Rourke's slow fighting style reminds me of the fight scene in Barfly.

Fight from BARFLY (1987) - YouTube

I did boxing and if you take anyone from there after 1 day of training does much better. Anyway this looks way to fake and boring.

Thanks
