Mickey Rourke Boxing Match...fixed?

Featured Replies

Here's an interesting story: http://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/more-sports/mickey-rourkes-boxing-opponent-admits-to-taking-a-dive-for-dollar15000/ar-BBgSm6F?ocid=LENDHP

I didn't even know this fight took place. Now, one side is claiming a fix, and the other is not. I'm not sure if either side can prove their story, and I am not really sure that I care, either.

Was anyone else aware of this fight? Did anyone see it? Did anyone think the fix was on?

I found out about the fight the day after it happened, but I was surprised that I hadn't seen any advertising leading up to it, even though it was in Russia. People were saying it looked fixed from the get-go, so I checked it out. Rourke dropped his opponent with a body shot, but that punch looked like it landed on his opponent's elbow/arm, not his body. Kind of suspicious. Rourke, to his credit, seemed legitimately surprised and happy--if the fight was fixed, I doubt he knew.
