At age 62, undefeated high-profile actor Mickey Rourke (7-0-2, 5 KOs) returned to the ring for the first time since 1994.
... And he didn't disappoint.
The finish came in Round 2.
After flooring his foe moments earlier, Rourke dropped 29-year-old Elliot Seymour again after planting his feet and unleashing a wicked right hook to the body.
The young man crumbled to the canvas and did not beat the count.
Although Seymour entered the bout with a modest 1-9 record, he'd been stopped inside the distance only once.
Can the 62 year old Rourke orchestrate more knockouts?
How far can he go, especially against the 20 and 30-somethings of professional boxing?
