This is universe is going to focus on the professional boxing career of Mickey "El Marielito" Rourke. His last fight (in real life) was 1994-09-08, after which he retired with a record of 6-0-2 (4). In this universe he is not going to retire, and will instead focus entirely on boxing with Freddie Roach continuing to train him.
I'm not sure who created the rating, but someobody posted one with Rourke having a rating of 0. This rating seems fair to me, so I'm going to use it. Being that he had just turned 38 years old when he retired and had a life of hard partying, I'm going to put him at "End" for career stage.
This is going to make managing his career a real challenge, as I'm sure it was for his manager in real life. On the plus side for Rourke is he has one of the best rated trainers in the game, Freddie Roach, working his corner. I'm not sure who he had as a cutman, but he can afford any of the best so I'm going to have him hire Chuck Bodak.
I'll be having him take on fighters who actually existed in real life and moving on to 6 and 8 rounders and hopefully more after that. The goal being to see how far he can go.
My writing skills are at best, average on a good day....so my apologies if this is boring or doesn't read well. It probably won't consist of much actual writing, and will focus more on reporting the "made up" facts as they develop.
I've been wanting to try this universe out for awhile now, so.......here goes.
