I think he did pretty darn well.
Despite his limited acting ability and advancing age, the guy still gets paid millions for his "straight to release" movies. He was also european kickboxing champion in 1980 and 81 and has a masters degree in chemical engineering.
Now, at 47, he takes on Taktarov in a boxing match, who's almost 10 years his junior. How many wealthy, action stars do you see attempting something like this? I'm actually pretty impressed he still challenges himself at this age.

It took balls to get in there and risk his rep.

Joe, we could be witnessing the meteoric rise of Dolph Lundgren.
Absolutely. His hands are world-class.

Just watched the boxing match...Dolph looks the same as he did in Rocky 4 in the close up's of him on the stool between rounds....both are in good shape to go all those rounds at that age

I was more impressed with Oleg's performance against Kerr. O and in National Treasure.

i agree
but i'm not surpised by dolph's shape, in a recent interview for eurosport, he said that he was weighlifting 4 or 5x per week, and boxing twice a week or so. He's a warrior and actually I enjoy his movies very much
