Mickey Rourke vs. Elliot Seymour Might be too reactional but after viewing this exhibition contest Seymour receives the worst rating I've ever given.

LOL, I saw the pic of Mickey & for 62, he's in great shape!
Years ago I went to a screenwriters seminar 1 weekend & 1 woman working there said Hollywood is just like any business, they prefer to work with nice people. She said Mickey was not a nice person when they shot "Year of the Dragon". |

He's in shape, just not boxing shape.
Seymour went in the tank. He only threw the jab, I think doubled it up twice. Went down from a cuffing right to the body first, got up and went down for good from a left that may have landed. Appreciate Rourke loves boxing but this isn't doing it any good. Egotistical.

It might go a bit quiet here for a while as I've gone back to the start of my Robinson ratings.
Not a restart just looking at each opponent in more depth.

Sugar Ray Robinson - Great Expectations.
This is the version of Robinson I am using at the beginning of his career at Lightweight. I will use be using this rating from October 1940 (Joe Echevarria) to July 1941 (Pete Lello).
