Rocky 2 is my favorite in the series but Ive always felt the same. 1 and 2 are an extension of the same movie. I thought it was awesome when I heard Stallone say the same.
@@RandalfElVikingo except that Rocky doesn't end with him as a loser, he won respect by enduring 15 rounds and the love of his life, Rocky I is still a self-sustaining masterpiece; the sequels were just boxing movies
Every single punch thrown in every single Rocky movie is hard enough and on-point enough to provoke a permanent brain injury, which is why you must love the Rocky movies!
And your absolutely right...if the only real life boxing had this kind of quality...these fights are emotionally driven they inspire many hearts they give a clear positive message....if you believe and work had anyone can accomplish the impossible...Rocky a small time boxing bum have entered the world ring and bested the toughest of boxers stripping away their title as well.what more needs to be said ?
“I seen you beat that man, like I never seen a man get beat before. And the man..kept..coming after you. We don’t need a man like that in our lives.” Top 5 quote of the series
The moment Mikey heard Rocky thank him he'd won everything he ever wanted. immortality in the boxing world. He bowed his head knowing he could die a happy man having achieved the one thing he ever wanted in his life. Thanks to Rocky.
Rocky probably remembered this, his undying loyalty to Mickey, when Tommy Gunn stabbed him in the back after he won the vacant title by beating Union Cane. It must have hurt a lot.
I saw this in the theater with my Dad. EVERYONE in the theater was on their feet, screaming and cheering for Rocky to win. Everyone forgot it was a movie. Young, old, men, women... It was the greatest movie experience of my life. I've never experienced anything like it since.
I had the same experience watching the first karate kid in the movie theater. Everybody was standing up and cheering at the end never had anything like it before and or since. But Rocky 2, boy, that’s back when they knew how to make a great movie
This is the greatest movie of all time of a under dog, that gives hope to anyone that thinks they can’t win at life. I’m 41 years old and this movie still brings tears to my eyes. WIN ROCKY WIN
You gotta add the ending of "Terminator 2" to that list, when I saw it in the theater in 1992 almost every man in house walked out wiping away tears at that final thumbs up before Arnold was finally destroyed by the molten steel. Still makes me sniffle to this day.
You know in light of this pathetic modern world Maybe ignorance is better than arrogance........... One May just have more honor than the other And Maybe That's not a bad thing..........
Gazzo is a minor character in the Rocky movies, but adds so much emotion and intensity to this scene rooting for Rocky. Even though Rocky tries to dirty work for him he knows Rocky is to good hearted to do it, but still employs him. Gazzo is like a good Uncle every child should have, the joy on his face when he hugs his girlfriend as Rocky wins adds so much to this scene.
This. So much this. I love the attention the detail, Gazzo is really proud that Rocky made something of him here. He's not at all a monochromatic character.
I think the same, Gazzo was great and very important caracter, just check it out in this scene 6:34 was incredible, and of course when Rocky wins his reaction (Gazzo) is priceless.
Rocky rarely had to use force to get the money and probably gave some minor beatings. Gazzo didn't want Rocky to remain a street thug once he made it. Pretty typical south philly character.
I was really young when I first saw it but I remember my family and I yelling at Rocky to get up as if it was a real fight! and when he finally got up and won and the music started it was awesome!
"I won but I didn't beat him." This is what Apollo said about the first fight. He had this rematch in the bag, but he needed to BEAT Rocky. It cost him the fight, but winning wasn't everything, and that's what made him great.
I like that. I didn't think that bout Apollo. it wasn't enough to win the fight by others thinking he did he had to do it in the ring to make it official that's a pretty good character trait
Actually, to get deep into it... Rocky raised Apollo’s hand! Went back to 0.25x speed. I think that shows Rocky’s kind spirit. My favorite thing about him as a character is his huge heart in spite of him being a fighter. Shows that you can be one tough bastard and be kind at the same time. Nobody like Rocky.

@axertrybal that's pretty much what I meant overcomes life means he accomplished a lot in life and also isn't Sylvester Stallone done playing the role as Rocky
Kudos to Weathers (and to Stallone, who wrote the script) for not making Creed a one-dimensional villain. True, Creed was Rocky's opponent, but you couldn't hate him. Weathers made the character human.
+sneezepal Absolutely! It was a great decision to make Apollo a rival and competitor--not a villain. They went the other route in III-V, but returned to more of that model in "Balboa" and "Creed".
Creed sure learned a very hard lesson: Don't ever pick on somebody smaller than your size and humiliate him. That's how people get their feelings hurt.
@@tyrese3745 Apollo made Rocky what he was. He picked him from obscurity to prominence and gave him a second shot at the title against his manager's advice. For that Apollo deserved his share of glory in Rocky 3 by helping him get his title back.
210 210 I like the first and second one too but I also like 3 and 4!!! And whoever said pedophile is stupid!!! I mean what that gotta do with being a pedophile just because u get a girl ? Do yall even know what a pedophile is?
Underrated part of the movie ... The announcing in the background is top notch world class... "...What's keeping these 2 guys up??? A tremendous closing round!" "...Where he's getting it I don't know!" "...It's Creed! Now it's Balboa! Now it's Creed!" "...I don't know why the champion is fighting Balboa's fight!" "...He will retain the title! If neither get up, it's a draw, and Creed will win the title automatically!" "..The champ is down!! HE'S DOWN!!!"" Absolutely epic.
“I don’t know why the champion is fighting Balboa’s fight!” Great line...but we know why. Apollo was not fighting for the win. He was fighting for the pride. His ego was damaged and he needed to knock him out to win it back.
It was also smart of Stallone to have the announcer state what would happen if neither fighter could get up and continue early on in the count because that would not be common knowledge for most since double knockdowns are so rare in actual boxing matches
If Rocky ever passes away during one of the Creed films I hope Donny honors him the same way Rocky honored his father by wearing his colors, the black and gold, at least once
Agree Hugh Jackman and I am a really big fan of you (especially logan) as I have watch every one of the films including logan in it and most of the X-men films 3 times or more
My God that scene is something. The music is intense. The fight is choreographed beautifully and the countdown is edge of your seat. Greatest movie scene. I remember watching it when it came out and I was standing and yelling for Rocky to get up too!
Love the franchise. Stallone deserves the boxing Hall of Fame induction he received a few years back. He made a brutal sport beautiful and show us that same beauty that exists in the lives of people involved. IMO, this is THE best fight of all the Rocky movies. This one felt genuine, felt real, and you could see some sort of real desperation on Stallone and Carl Weathers. Acting? Yes, to an extent. Stallone had a tough act to follow after that first movie and sure he felt desperate. Weathers was damn near a household name by now and wanted to go forward. In some respects, this is the best movie of the franchise.
+roquey44 Agreed. Certainly my favorite and a better fight sequence. Stallone is a man to be admired. Not only doe his movies but for his own personal triumphs while awaiting his success. He's a true role model.
win! what are we waiting for bawjaws? let's go get your heed caved in and half blinded in yin eye and brain-damaged so you can buy a mansion for yer brother in law so you can get kicked out and end up back where you started creepo
The great thing about this ending, is that it’s 100x better because of Rocky 1, the journey feels much more hard won and you really feel the elation that comes with achieving something against all odds. It’s honestly the prefect sequel.
Maybe because, even though he was kind of using Rocky and not the world's best influence on him, you can see that he still had a genuine affection for him.
Apollo basically beat the brakes off Rocky this entire fight. He only lost due to his pride, all he had to do was jab the hell out of him with those rights and lefts and stay the hell away and he would have won EASILY! Instead he wanted the knockout. Ivan Drago lost the same way. Got caught by Balboa’s deadly body blows.
Jason Bourne Agreed, that’s what truly made him champion. For a short guy He had enormous punching power to the body, lifting all three of his opponents off the mat with his body blows! Creed, Lang and Drago all went down the same way. You could literally hear Drago crying out in agony from those body punches in the last round!
Yeah...no one would've questioned Apollo if he won a convincing decision. But it wasn't about them, it was about him. Which is what makes him such a fucking fantastic character. The pride comes before the fall, but it wasn't arrogance. We learn that when he comes back to Rocky to HELP him instead of antagonize him.
Alex regardless of the heat he got after the first fight, Apollo should have been smart, avoided Rocky and win on points (he had a pretty good lead). Trying to knock him out was a dumb move.
@@MrDarksword123 Apollo knew if he won on points, people would still be saying Rocky should have won and cried fixed match and crap. He knew the only way to make sure that didn't happen was to go for the knockout.
i remember noticing the terror in Dukes voice as he screamed it at Apollo and genuinely got scared ! i mean they were basically killing each other at that point
The late, GREAT, Tony Burton. What an actor, especially in this franchise. Couldn't imagine this thing being the success it is without him, Burgess Meredith, and Talia Shire. Talk about some ACTORS!!! Damn, Any who, you notice the desperation in "Duke's" voice when he's talking to Apollo between rounds 14 and 15? He's knows his fighter's skills are going. He's knows he can't afford to be careless. Awesome.
Ever since I was a little boy and I saw this fight for the 1st time - the referee’s echoing “You’re Out!l to Apollo at the 10 count ( 7:48 ) followed by Rocky collapsing into the trainer’s arms always gave me goosebumps followed by complete and total elation!
The Apollo - Balboa friendship started that last round. All Apollo had to do was play it safe and stay away from Rocky in order to win,. By standing to fight, Apollo satisfied his pride in wanting to defeat rocky... AND to gave Rocky a chance for the win. It was beyond a classy move, it was the sign of a friend's respect in wanting to give Rocky the opportunity to fulfill his dreams.
Planetary Disaster actually he didn’t go after him because he was nice, he went after him because he knew that if he won on points then people would still call BS and the only way to prove to the world was to go for the knockout.
@@prosportsclips5564 You're right; Apollo comments on how much it hurt him to lose to Rocky. He had to come to the realization that he was finally past his prime, and that Rocky was a genuinely good guy that deserved his support.
@MetalReign I am in agreement with you. Apollo didn't give a crap about anyone but himself. Duke tells him " stick and move"..."Get away from him!!"...and the classic "Don't punch with him". He beat the crap out of Rocky even more than he did the first fight and would have won by unanimous decision. There was no doubt in anyone's mind but his that he was the better fighter. He follows Duke's advice. Wins fight. Retires undefeated and doesn't feel need to prove himself all over again. "You may feel a little sting.....That's pride f##king with ya.....F##k pride" -Marcellus Wallace Pulp Fiction
The editing and sound mixing in these scenes is incredible. It is spectacular. Hot on the heals of the success of the first Rocky, and for Stallone’s second outing as director (after Paradise Alley) it is an incredible feat. A triumph on all fronts. But the editing and sound mixing is outstanding.
"How good was he?" "Who,Apollo? He's great. The perfect fighter. No one ever better." "So how'd you beat him?" "Time beat him. Time takes everybody out. It's undefeated."
That last part is done beautifully... everything from Creed being so exhausted that he had to drag his body up on the ropes to the moment when Creed's wife realized Rocky was determined to get up and she stands in desperation, pleading for Apollo to do something... Anything.... and finally the shock and awe of the announcer at the end, "ROCK BALBOA HAS SHOCKED THE WORLD!!" All so powerful...
Look at the camera guy's expression over Rocky's right shoulder. He forgot it was acting and it may be so good, that in fact, it wasn't acting. Rocky 1 and 2 were almost a mirror to Stallone's life!
The reason Creed lost this fight isn't because he was not as great a fighter as Rocky. It's because he didn't have the ability to take damage like Rocky. Listen to his trainer's advice "don't fight him up close, stick and move". Apollo was winning even better then the first time, but he didn't want another decision win. He wanted Rocky down, and to prove he was the better fighter and Rocky was lucky the first time. Apollo had the speed advantage, better reach, and overall better technique. Had he used all these he would have won by decision or by attrition. He lost due to his egotism, he stood there pounding at a brick wall. I know it's a movie, but that's my opinion on Apollo in the rematch, I was arrogant the first time, this time I'm putting this guy down and everyone will see it. Oh shit, I'm down now.
Rockys fighting style is based off of rocky marcionos style. He was a terrible boxer but what made him when was because he made himself into a walking TANK! he could take a punch and by God he could deliver.
KrushKrills i didn't deny that Rocky had better endurance & stamina. I was stating that Apollo was overall the better fighter. He underestimated Rocky the first time, and was arrogant in the rematch. Once again had he played to his strength and denied Rocky his, Apollo would have won with a clear decision. Apollo didn't want a decision, he wanted a knockout and he got it. It just happened to be him.
+Christopher Youngblood Apollo got stubborn last round going for the knockout is why he lost..Apollo was way more skilled & way ahead on points..in Creed rocky admitted that Apollo still beat him in their third fight @ end of rocky 3 even after he trained Rocky to become skilled like himself..I always said Prime Apollo was the best skilled boxer in the series
All it took was Adrian to tell him to win and the rest was history. Apollo showed such true sportsmanship at the end, handing Rocky his belt and wishing him good luck. Apollo was such a good character. Makes the film complete.
Mickey shouting at Rocky while pounding his hand hard on the canvas in the 15th round: "Now!!...Now!!!"....Still sends me shivers after all these years!
Actually it isn't... if you listen carefully the opening words of that video are ".. for superfight number two and there's the bell" That video is also 14.15 mins long but was taken down shortly after creed debuted in cinemas
I feel like you have to watch rocky one and two together as one movie, you can’t separate them. They’re like one long extended movie
Funny thing is that Rocky 1 was not going to be a franchise, ending with Rocky as a loser.
Rocky 2 is my favorite in the series but Ive always felt the same. 1 and 2 are an extension of the same movie.

the best fight out of all the rocky films by far partly due in my opinion to Carl weathers and sly stallone's on screen chemistry!! great film.
"It ain't about how hard you hit, it's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done."
Hugh can that be?
Greatest quote from Rocky Balboa
Tell that to all these guys hit by George Foreman...
@Tom AcM you havent watched enough rocky yet.
Agree Hugh Jackman and I am a really big fan of you (especially logan) as I have watch every one of the films including logan in it and most of the X-men films 3 times or more
"Yo Adrian! I always did it!"
Adrian says "I love you" from Heaven!
Adrian was his soulmate and rock, she was always there for Rocky Balboa especially when he was troubled.
My God that scene is something. The music is intense. The fight is choreographed beautifully and the countdown is edge of your seat. Greatest movie scene. I remember watching it when it came out and I was standing and yelling for Rocky to get up too!
Love the franchise. Stallone deserves the boxing Hall of Fame induction he received a few years back. He made a brutal sport beautiful and show us that same beauty that exists in the lives of people involved. IMO, this is THE best fight of all the Rocky movies. This one felt genuine, felt real, and you could see some sort of real desperation on Stallone and Carl Weathers. Acting? Yes, to an extent. Stallone had a tough act to follow after that first movie and sure he felt desperate. Weathers was damn near a household name by now and wanted to go forward. In some respects, this is the best movie of the franchise.
+roquey44 Agreed. Certainly my favorite and a better fight sequence. Stallone is a man to be admired. Not only doe his movies but for his own personal triumphs while awaiting his success. He's a true role model.

LMAO this made me laugh at work lol
The great thing about this ending, is that it’s 100x better because of Rocky 1, the journey feels much more hard won and you really feel the elation that comes with achieving something against all odds. It’s honestly the prefect sequel.
"I ain't going down no more!" My ex-wife said that to me on our wedding night.
😂
that 2 year late response tho
One Word Annulment
Quite possibly the 2nd greatest thing I’ve heard all year!
Maybe she likes woman on top position
RIP Tony Burton (Duke (Apollo's trainer/coach)).
yeah rip tony burton
Too bad mayweather vs pacquiao wasn't like this.
No fight in real life is like this! Welcome to Hollywood!!!...
David McGinnis JC Chavez vs Meldrick Taylor 1990 was
Hagler and Hearns was also like this
enrique burgos If there was ever a fight like this is real life both boxers would be dead before the end of the 3rd round....no exaggeration...
Jonathan Straka
Evander Holyfield vs George Foreman 1991
Muhammad Ali vs George Foreman (Zaire 1974).
Best rocky ending ever.
Chills when he shouts "I DID IT!"
Gazzo cheering for Rocky is one of the things I like the most in the movies. I don't know why
Maybe because, even though he was kind of using Rocky and not the world's best influence on him, you can see that he still had a genuine affection for him.
That part at 9:04 " yo adrian, i did it " always gives me chills.
It brings me to tears.
peodo
Rocky
I like rocky 2,3 ,4 and 1
rocky is a shit fighter he gets killed in every fight.
"Yo Adrian, I did it!!" gets me every time
So awesome rest in peace Carl weathers you and Stallone made the rocky series what is today we all love you god bless r.i.p.🙏
"This movie is so '80s"
"It came out in '79"
"...shut up"
Wow one year, mate no one cares
+Qwerty414 it's more than a year off. The 80s stuff everybody knows started around the mid 80s, which is why 1985 is such a popular year.
+Qwerty414 you must be from the 2000s + generation
+Clark Williams lol true. Same about the 90's, most of the 90's stuff started around 1994

Gotta love the handraise and head shake Creed gives Rocky at the end. You can tell he respects him from then on
@@billbelzek6748 yup a white from Philly who went through he'll
@@billbelzek6748 rocky is Italian you dumbass.
Bill Belzek and you’ve made it about race.
Bill Belzel I'm black so shut up don't make this about race
Bill Belzek you have issues buddy
“I ain’t going down no more. “ - such a simple yet powerful statement. The sheer determination is unreal
and he doesn't. he doesn't go down again till the final punch which he lands on creed. sheer will & determination
R.I.P. Tony
No pain, no pain,
get out of there!
Apollo basically beat the brakes off Rocky this entire fight. He only lost due to his pride, all he had to do was jab the hell out of him with those rights and lefts and stay the hell away and he would have won EASILY! Instead he wanted the knockout. Ivan Drago lost the same way. Got caught by Balboa’s deadly body blows.
Yup once balboa hits ya body them ribs crack!!
Jason Bourne Agreed, that’s what truly made him champion. For a short guy He had enormous punching power to the body, lifting all three of his opponents off the mat with his body blows! Creed, Lang and Drago all went down the same way. You could literally hear Drago crying out in agony from those body punches in the last round!
Yeah...no one would've questioned Apollo if he won a convincing decision. But it wasn't about them, it was about him. Which is what makes him such a fucking fantastic character. The pride comes before the fall, but it wasn't arrogance. We learn that when he comes back to Rocky to HELP him instead of antagonize him.
Rocky was a damn tank he knew he was armored and could take every shot and not need a “shield” so to speak
Box smart and you can beat Rocky, go toe to toe and you get broken down.
This is when champs wanted to beat their opponent, not just win.
the smallest things make me cry in this movie.. Gazzo screaming “GET UP, ROCK”, Paulie screaming in disbelief “HE WON”
Ya that gets me too 🥺🥺🥹🥹🥹
07:21 07:50
It's crazy how Apollo's coach knows how dangerous Rocky is. "STAY AWAY FROM HIM!"
Alex regardless of the heat he got after the first fight, Apollo should have been smart, avoided Rocky and win on points (he had a pretty good lead). Trying to knock him out was a dumb move.
He told Apollo not to go for the knockout
@@MrDarksword123 Apollo knew if he won on points, people would still be saying Rocky should have won and cried fixed match and crap. He knew the only way to make sure that didn't happen was to go for the knockout.
“You beat that man like no man has ever been beat before....and he KEPT COMING after you!” Yep, Duke always knew what they were dealing with.
i remember noticing the terror in Dukes voice as he screamed it at Apollo and genuinely got scared ! i mean they were basically killing each other at that point
The late, GREAT, Tony Burton. What an actor, especially in this franchise. Couldn't imagine this thing being the success it is without him, Burgess Meredith, and Talia Shire. Talk about some ACTORS!!! Damn,
Any who, you notice the desperation in "Duke's" voice when he's talking to Apollo between rounds 14 and 15? He's knows his fighter's skills are going. He's knows he can't afford to be careless. Awesome.
Well said. He perfectly conveys the trainer who sees the fight going against his fighter - all that emotion.
"Stay away from him!" Love the emotion in Dukes voice as Apollo dismisses his warnings.
Stallone nails it he’s the people’s champ
Apollo may have landed on the moon... but it can never destroy the rock
UNDERRATED COMMENT
When he says ".... I did it.".... anybody who doesn't well up a little with emotions isn't a real man.
Thats right.

I said this once to a girlfriend who didnt keep proper hygiene.
@@nonyabusiness3605 atta boy
Pure motivation
I come back to this moment when I need a kick up ass
And Mickey knew all along his Kid was going to Win
Ever since I was a little boy and I saw this fight for the 1st time - the referee’s echoing “You’re Out!l to Apollo at the 10 count ( 7:48 ) followed by Rocky collapsing into the trainer’s arms always gave me goosebumps followed by complete and total elation!
Still to this day buddy.
The music at 3:22 sounds awesome. Like two gladiators in the colosseum stepping out to do battle
Bill Conti wrote one of the all time greatest musical compositions with the Rocky score.
You don't say
The Apollo - Balboa friendship started that last round. All Apollo had to do was play it safe and stay away from Rocky in order to win,. By standing to fight, Apollo satisfied his pride in wanting to defeat rocky... AND to gave Rocky a chance for the win. It was beyond a classy move, it was the sign of a friend's respect in wanting to give Rocky the opportunity to fulfill his dreams.
Planetary Disaster actually he didn’t go after him because he was nice, he went after him because he knew that if he won on points then people would still call BS and the only way to prove to the world was to go for the knockout.
Or pride overcoming sense.
@@prosportsclips5564 You're right; Apollo comments on how much it hurt him to lose to Rocky. He had to come to the realization that he was finally past his prime, and that Rocky was a genuinely good guy that deserved his support.
@MetalReign I am in agreement with you. Apollo didn't give a crap about anyone but himself. Duke tells him " stick and move"..."Get away from him!!"...and the classic "Don't punch with him". He beat the crap out of Rocky even more than he did the first fight and would have won by unanimous decision. There was no doubt in anyone's mind but his that he was the better fighter. He follows Duke's advice. Wins fight. Retires undefeated and doesn't feel need to prove himself all over again.
"You may feel a little sting.....That's pride f##king with ya.....F##k pride"

The editing and sound mixing in these scenes is incredible. It is spectacular. Hot on the heals of the success of the first Rocky, and for Stallone’s second outing as director (after Paradise Alley) it is an incredible feat. A triumph on all fronts. But the editing and sound mixing is outstanding.
Well said and exactly correct.
the sound lifted it to the echelons never reached since
God i love the Rocky franchise movies!!! good life lessons to NEVER GIVE UP!
jimmy cho never ever give up 👍🏽👍🏽
"How good was he?" "Who,Apollo? He's great. The perfect fighter. No one ever better." "So how'd you beat him?" "Time beat him. Time takes everybody out. It's undefeated."
Who’s here after hearing Carl weathers passed away 😢
That last part is done beautifully... everything from Creed being so exhausted that he had to drag his body up on the ropes to the moment when Creed's wife realized Rocky was determined to get up and she stands in desperation, pleading for Apollo to do something... Anything.... and finally the shock and awe of the announcer at the end, "ROCK BALBOA HAS SHOCKED THE WORLD!!" All so powerful...
They did hell of a job picking the right actor to play apollos son .
Yeah they did. I actually think Creed movie is top 3 or 4 of all the Rocky movies. Very similar to part 1 in a sense.
He looks scrawny compared to Apollo. Carl Weathers was a tank. Adonis is a 'light heavyweight'.
Well they're in different weight classes. Apollo was a Heavyweight, but Adonis is a welterweight or lightweight I think.
@@YD-uq5fi Look at Drago's son compared to Drago. JESUS lmao
T G Adonis is way bigger in the second movie. He looks comparable to Apollo now
I love the the part in creed when rocky says creed wasn't defeated by rocky, but was defeated by time. It gives me the chills!!
the soundtracks for this fight was so epic!
“I ain’t going down no more” !!!!
what I love to think is that in 1979 people were screaming for rocky to get up. And for when I was a little girl to now I've been doing the same
from
are you married? i love FEMALES who are invested in rocky flicks !! Rocky II by far the best of the series, IT HAD IT ALL !!
Emma Clarke huh???
just work with me bruh, maybe the name is coming back in the current wave.. lol .. either way i ALWAYS RESPECT MY ROCKY PEEPS!!
I always tear up after watching Rocky 1,2, and 6.
The saliva that shoots out of Tonys mouth at 2:40 is probably the most epic thing I've ever seen in ah movie..lol
+Jason peng LMAO
😂😂😂 lls
+Jason peng lol that was hilarious
alin.pedro
+Jason peng Kinda reminds me of "cut me Mick"
Yo Adrian I did it.....it .makes me cry everytime
u can hear it in his voice he's crying too its so incredible the acting.
absolutely. i hate admitting it but damn
Look at the camera guy's expression over Rocky's right shoulder. He forgot it was acting and it may be so good, that in fact, it wasn't acting. Rocky 1 and 2 were almost a mirror to Stallone's life!
Here here Mate
Am I trapped in a room of sliced onions?
+Jeff Peake Its the onion ninjas man! They keep slicing it!
I was wondering the same. Weird?
Leon Edwards just accomplished this in the UFC
My theory is when they fall together at 6:45 that's the moment when their friendship begins.
simon guevara and when Apollo died and rocky was holding him, that's how deep that friendship was
Apollo was a smart and powerful character
simon guevara 110% agree with u.
A friendship that started and ended in the ring
if you fall but your Friend is willing to take that fall with you that's not friendship that's brotherhood.
The reason Creed lost this fight isn't because he was not as great a fighter as Rocky. It's because he didn't have the ability to take damage like Rocky. Listen to his trainer's advice "don't fight him up close, stick and move". Apollo was winning even better then the first time, but he didn't want another decision win. He wanted Rocky down, and to prove he was the better fighter and Rocky was lucky the first time. Apollo had the speed advantage, better reach, and overall better technique. Had he used all these he would have won by decision or by attrition. He lost due to his egotism, he stood there pounding at a brick wall. I know it's a movie, but that's my opinion on Apollo in the rematch, I was arrogant the first time, this time I'm putting this guy down and everyone will see it. Oh shit, I'm down now.
Rockys fighting style is based off of rocky marcionos style. He was a terrible boxer but what made him when was because he made himself into a walking TANK! he could take a punch and by God he could deliver.
+Christopher Youngblood Creed is the best boxer in all the Rocky movies, but Rocky has supernatural durability & stamina
KrushKrills i didn't deny that Rocky had better endurance & stamina. I was stating that Apollo was overall the better fighter. He underestimated Rocky the first time, and was arrogant in the rematch. Once again had he played to his strength and denied Rocky his, Apollo would have won with a clear decision. Apollo didn't want a decision, he wanted a knockout and he got it. It just happened to be him.
+Christopher Youngblood Yeah Rocky have great KO power and a good chin.
+Christopher Youngblood Apollo got stubborn last round going for the knockout is why he lost..Apollo was way more skilled & way ahead on points..in Creed rocky admitted that Apollo still beat him in their third fight @ end of rocky 3 even after he trained Rocky to become skilled like himself..I always said Prime Apollo was the best skilled boxer in the series
All it took was Adrian to tell him to win and the rest was history. Apollo showed such true sportsmanship at the end, handing Rocky his belt and wishing him good luck. Apollo was such a good character. Makes the film complete.
Thowing body shots like he's Rocky Balboa...Going upstairs like he's Apollo Creed...
you can see it here
you can see it here
Throwing body shots like HE'S Rocky Balboa...going upstairs like HE'S Apollo Creed...closing seconds of the fight...

Mickey shouting at Rocky while pounding his hand hard on the canvas in the 15th round: "Now!!...Now!!!"....Still sends me shivers after all these years!
The way rocky was hitting this man in the body. I'm surprised all of Apollo's ribs weren't broken.
I cry everytime
Me too
Yoo Adrian I did it!!! *manly tears*
this is the fight adnois creed watches on youtube lol
Good eye
lock tran0049 I know right
Actually it isn't... if you listen carefully the opening words of that video are ".. for superfight number two and there's the bell"
That video is also 14.15 mins long but was taken down shortly after creed debuted in cinemas
evet
Hahahahahahahaha
