Rocky Rip-off?

Mark Wahlberg became agitated recently when an OMdoubleG interviewer asked him if he thought The Fighter was just a Rocky re-tread.

“That’s absurd,” barked the 39-year-old Marky Mark. “One is about a small-time fighter who gets a title shot, and the other is about a little-known boxer who fights for a championship.”

Wahlberg went on to reveal that The Fighter 2 is currently in production and will feature an epic battle between his character, Micky Ward and Arturo Gatti – played by Carl Weathers.
