This should be good. It never ceases to amaze me how this generation is joyfully reacting to the movies of that era.
Great films are timeless!
Love watching younger peoples reactions enjoying older/classic movies
Yep, it just makes me feel old; saw this the first time on VHS (or was it beta) at the new release section...then watched Rocky III at the theaters with my older cousin.
The lessons and concepts are just as needed today and reach everyone deep inside across the decades...I love that it doesn't matter if you are represented on the screen bc the core message everyone can understand.
@@davidward9737 Remember those one reel tapes? those were weird.
10/10 reaction. The last 3 minutes of the movie is my favorite moment in all of cinema. It’s my great pleasure to watch people react to them for the first time.
Agreed. That final fight is so adrenaline pumping and just absolutely exhilarating. I get goosebumps every time.
The music knocks it out of the park
This isn't just about Rocky's pride, it's about Apollo's. He knows he didn't outright win that fight, he can't let it go. And people were also antagonizing him. He is usually a showman, but he is taking this rematch super serious. Rocky finally felt like he made something of himself, and then it just went away. Fighting is also part of who he is, it's how he provides for his family.
Apollo's trainer didn't want Apollo to fight Rocky again because of how extraordinarily tough Rocky is. Though Apollo won the first fight, Rocky came closer to defeating Apollo than any fighter had before despite taking an incredible beating. He's afraid that if Apollo fights Rocky again, Rocky might actually win.
I don't think he doubted Apollo. He knew that any encounter with Rocky would turn the fight into a slugfest because Rocky doesn't stop. Those types of fights aren't good for longevity nor health and this is where I think the concern was coming from.
Rocky and Adrien are one fo the absolute best couples in a franchise.
about movie couples..... only beaten by gomez and morticia....
@@Metzwerg74 idk about that all of Rocky’s movies center around he and Adrian’s love story, it’s the love they have for each other that allows him to keep going and fight on not only in the ring but outside of it
I’ve always said this! They are the prototype for one of the most loving and healthiest couples in cinema and pop culture
There aren't that many franchise couples to choose from so there isn't much competition.
@@charleswilliams4247 they’re plenty of couples in movie franchises like Peter Parker and MJ in Spiderman or Neo and Trinity in The Matrix or Bruce Wayne and Selina in Batman they just don’t have the storyline centered around it which why Rocky and Adrian’s relationship is so unique compared to all the others and so highly regarded because of the human element of their relationship, both growing up poor but sticking with each other through all their struggles and still continuing to love each other to no end
Love the progression of Adrian's personality. She is Rocky's heart.
Yup! Both of them grow into people they were always meant to be when they’re together. They bring out the best in each other. That’s true love
Tony Apollo’s trainer was afraid that rocky was a type of fighter that Apollo could not overcome and that his obsession with rocky would put Apollo in danger
When you rewatch rocky I, tony at multiple points tries to warn Apollo that rocky is a very dangerous opponent. And as we learn further in the series tony cares deeply about Apollo which is why he was so worried and heartbroken when Apollo would not listen in the final round of the rematch
@@stevenhernandeznon-profitf968yea man tony and Mick were such great coaches and characters. These little details really are what make a great movie.
I don’t think he was worried Apollo couldn’t overcome him he was worried that fighting someone like Rocky who never gives up and keeps coming forward could cause him long term damage. Apollo was beating the hell out of Rocky in this second fight, he was winning practically every round but his pride wouldn’t let him because he wanted to knock him out which is why Duke kept yelling for Apollo to stay away from him because he had the fight already won and by trying to knock him out it ultimately cost him the fight at the end because he gassed out and couldn’t get up when they both went down
And it makes sense in reality. The triangle theory of boxing gives a good generalized picture of why Tony was worried. Rocky is a slugger, caring little for getting hit because rocky is a slow fighter who hasn’t had the training to be more like Ali or other out-boxers.
Hence rocky is incredibly strong and can take punches.
Apollo creed is more of a swarmer (but he does have some out boxing trainers). Creed hits hard yes but his strength is considerably less than rocky and he relies on quickness. But swarmers struggle against sluggers.
Hence Apollo creed is fighting an opponent who is his foil.
AANNHT, wrong answers. Creed was 46-0 entering Rocky I, so he was now 47-0. The record to beat is Rocky Marciano's 49-0, and Tony was scared as hell that Rocky would beat him and he'd fall short of the historic record. In Rocky III Mickey did the same thing with Rocky and was setting him up with winnable fights to pad his record and make him more money. He was afraid Apollo would lose.
Rocky 2 and Rocky 6 (Rocky Balboa) are my favourites. This reaction was beautiful to watch - you laughed, cried and cheered at all the right moments, which is a testament to Stallone's writing and direction. The guy is so underestimated when it comes to creativity.
Same for me.
I hope you keep going with the Rocky saga. You won't be disappointed. I have those happy tears every time I watch it.
I hope she will continue with the rocky series they are fun to watch
Well except for Rocky V....we don't talk about that one
@@technosamurai9171 rocky v was pretty decent u cant not just watch the rest of the rocky series without watching that 1 it's apart of the rocky series
@@jonbrooks6307 I mean for the sake of completing them...I guess. Rocky V and Balboa were a step down compared to the others. They're decent but not as good. Honestly I could have done without V. Balboa is better than V. I will give V some credit though since it was the first Rocky that had a professional boxer in the role rather than an actor.
This movie hits the human soul to the core. We all struggle and have difficulties but it's that never quit mentality then winning it all that we celebrate and cry over.
Apollo Creed was embarrassed that Rocky went the distance with him. Rocky was an unrated nobody as a boxer. He was the World Champ. I think Carl Weathers is a better actor than he was allowed to be. A former NFL football player, he was cuby holed as an action, muscle bound actor. I hate what Hollywood does to actors. I understand movies are expensive but who are they to limit the potential of the very people they depend on.
One and two belong together. Three and four belong together. Five is the standalone, albeit weaker than all the others but still necessary. Six wraps it all up beautifully.
Thanks for your reactions!
agreed on that
I appreciate 5 a lot more than before. The emotional part is big in that one.
The 1st 2 Creed movies do a good job of picking up the Rocky storyline without being a remake as well
Accurate assessment of the franchise. +1 like. 6 surprised me because I didn't expect much. It turned out to be a really great movie. 5 is still the weakest to me, but I'm appreciating 5 more than when I first saw it.
As a stand-alone 5 is t too bad, but in the series it’s the weakest by a country mile
Apollo's trainer, Duke, is worried that a man like Rocky, who NEVER gives up, is dangerous in the ring and can hurt Apollo. That's why Duke said, "We don't need that kind of man like that in our lives."
Duke??? Is that his last name cuz his first name is Tony
@@rickbadessa4897 Yes, Duke is his last name. His son "Little Duke" is the Creed films.
Camilla! Now you know why the Rocky movies are beloved. They take place against a boxing backdrop, but they're really about people, relationships, struggle, and love. I don't even like most sports movies, but these are gems. Please continue on. You're a really good reactor.
Rocky III is one of the most iconic movies of the 80s, and had a hit theme song that's also iconic. The movies got a different feel, and it's faster, and slicker. But it's still Rocky.
And it has more tragedy than the first two.
Great reaction, be prepared for more tears in 3 and 4
And 5 and 6....
@@Hatrimn Mostly 6. I love how much Heart and emotion they put into that movie going back to it's roots
Apollo's trainer knows that Rocky isn't on Apollo's talent level, but Rocky seems to have the ability to take an inhuman amount of punishment. Apollo lays in superfast jabs and combos right on Rocky's face...and Rocky still keeps coming forward. Rocky bleeds profusely from Apollo's shots, but he keeps coming forward. Apollo's shots make Rocky's vision start to blur...still Rocky comes forward. Not all boxers have this type of resilience. The ones that do are like Michael Myers or something.
Ivan Drago recognized this in _Rocky IV_ when he compared Rocky to iron.
I’ve seen this movie a million times and always get choked up with happy tears at the end. Never fails! 😂
A million times? I don't think so.
Our first born child came out with a huge head of black hair like that. I couldn't believe a baby could have that much hair. "Yo Adrian, I did it!" Such a great ending.
Its telling that Apollo directly bives the belt to Rocky, not letting the ref be the middleman. And he wishes Rocky luck, since Apollo knows getting to the top is hard. Staying there is much, much harder. As much as Apollo is the antagonist in these movies, he's not a bad person, he's egotistical, but when you fight a guy like Rocky who blocks punches with his nose, its understandable he is confident of winning.
Rocky and Adrian are one of the best on-screen couples. Love the Rocky series.
When Apollo meets with his team and they say Apollo doesn't need a man like Rocky, they recognise the danger that a man like Rocky poses to Apollos title run because of his hunger and drive. They're the dangerous fighters to face.
In case you didn't notice, Rocky 1 and Rocky II aren't boxing movies. They're romances with boxing
When they hold eachother during a fight, it's called clinching. It gives the fighters a second the break the attack or catch a breather, but the ref then breaks it up and let's the fight carry on. In Rocky it doesn't happen often, but in a real fight, it happens almost every few seconds.
"I saw you beat that man, like I ain't ever seen no man get beat before, and the man kept coming after you"
Probably my favorite scene in the Rocky franchise. Apollo's trainer, Duke, knew the kind of fighter that Rocky was, ever since seeing him on TV punching the meat in the frozen locker.
His job was to protect his fighter, and he knew a rematch would place Apollo's career in the line of fire against someone more hungry than him.
I think we cry because we know the difficulties Rocky went through to get there and he succeeded. They are tears of joy.
Apollo’s coach is worried Rocky might beat him the next time, because he doesn’t go down. So Apollo’s coach says we don’t need that kind of man in our life.
And I’m like you, I get emotional tears every time I watch this!
I knew you would love this part of the franchise. You are such a romantic. The softer side of you make me wish I could drop 35 years!
I have tears every time I watch Rocky 2 as well. I hope you watch 3 now. It's faster-paced and more action-packed than 1 & 2, but still has the same heart & spirit. Rocky faces new challenges and a new opponent and gains a new ally.
Fun Fact: The first Rocky movie, written by Sylvester Stallone, was based on the real life boxer Chuck Wepner. A local small time boxer who fought Muhammad Ali. Wepner knocked Ali down in the 7th round. Ali eventually knocked Wepner down with 19 seconds left in the 15th round. The referee counted to seven when the judges called a technical knock out.
Great reaction! You're awesome! Keep watching the Rocky series! You'll really enjoy them!
"I was wonderin' if you wouldn't mind marrying me too much?" Best proposal ever!
Hope you continue with the series!
Great reaction to a great movie! Looking forward to Rocky 3!
This one is the best one of all of them in my opinion. I haven't seen a more inspirational movie since. FUN FACT: Part 1 and 2 both ended with I love you.
I like how the loan shark looks after him. A guardian devil?
He is Like temptation to remain a nobody in the story
He's not a bad guy, he doesn't force people to take loans lol
I think it was either in the original script, or the novel, Tony had been Rocky's friend since childhood.
@@LeviBoldockI thought in the earlier drafts, he was Rocky's half brother. A brother from another mother type situation cause their dad divorced and then remarried.
Your best reaction ever, Kamilla, even more so than my beloved LOTR. You are such a sweetheart to care about a character in a movie about 40 years old!. I do hope you one day have that child you clearly wish to have, and do so safely and happily! That baby will be a lucky little soul.
Apollo's trainer was worried about Apollo's longevity and overall health in boxing. He understood the type of fighter Rocky was from the first encounter: He never gives up and keeps on coming. Ultimately turning the fight into a slugfest, which isn't good for longevity 😅
That's why he was against the rematch!
I love most of the hype interviews in Rocky movies. His opponents are all in-your-face bluster and he's so friendly and laid back.
Please tell us you are going to continue and complete the Rocky franchise!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!
Apollo was so eager to fight Rocky because he took him to the distance in the last fight. Alot of people thought Rocky won the last fight
A 10/10 reaction to a 10/10 movie. This is what cinematography is all about. Creating emotions❤Well done
I REALLY enjoyed this watch along Kamilla. We gotta do much more of these in the future! ❤
Absolutely! Thank you for joining ❤️
Rocky and Adrian relationship is one of the interesting things I love about the rocky franchise. Their relationship is very beautiful
Happy tears are happening because you are watching a movie with an amazing story. Very few movies these days carry the emotions that Rocky brings.
Happy "First Contact Day"! 🖖
great reaction from a young one. so glad you didn't laugh inappropriately at some of the sad moments.. thanks for a great reaction to a classic movie we GenX grew up watching.
They did put a Rocky statue at the top of the stairs. Those stairs lead up to the Philadelphia Museum of Art. It was later determined that it was not a proper place for the statue, and it was moved to the sports arena.
And after that, it was moved back to the museum, but it’s on the side porch of the museum now not the front steps.
@@jimmers123 Thanks, I didn't know that. Do you know when they did that?
@@jamesdemarco7161 it was put into storage when they demolished the old Spectrum in about 2002 and put back at the art museum in 2006.
@@jimmers123 Very cool. I just assumed they put it in front of the new Wells Fargo Center.
Rocky II is my all-time favorite of the franchise, but I also like Rocky III. the best part for me in Rocky II is when Adrian says, "...WIN...". omg. I hear it, and my eyes water up. and the music at that point (the chime hit is perfect) is fantastic. love your reactions!
Amazing reaction.
From a time with no internet and streaming services.
When going to the movies was an event. The roaring cheers of the theater crowd is all but gone now.
The tears of joy in your eyes at the end was priceless.
Thank you for the upload, youve gained a fan..
Philadelphia native here (although I don't live there now), and there is a statue of Rocky. It's no longer in the location it was in in this movie, and has been moved a few times. Last time I was there and saw it (2019-ish) it was off to the right at the base of the steps.
At one point in time it was down at the Spectrum, which is a sporting complex in South Philly, before the stadium was knocked down. That was roughly 25 years ago, and I'm not sure what years it was moved. I also don't know exactly how many times it's been moved. But it does exist, and is something tourist's like to see and pose with.
I’m so happy you enjoyed this movie and are loving the “Rocky” series. 😊 Seeing this again was like seeing it again for the first time.
19:30 - Rocky’s sparring partner here is Roberto Duran, former 4 division world champion and regarded as one of the best of all time.
the first Rocky is my personal favorite but your reaction here is so sweet.
I Love your emotional reaction. Remember that these were never boxing movies augmented with a love story. They were a love story with boxing as the background.
"are people mad at each other before a fight?"
It definately makes punching them for 15 rounds a lot easier that's for sure.
The long setup for Rky2 was asking Creed 'was that your best?' at hospital in 1...Rky knew he could take the punches to tire him out, emphasizing savvy.
Rocky learning to read is one of the missed gems of this film. During Adrian's time unconscious he fights a different fight for their future.
They did actually hit and damage each other quite a bit in this one, and hospitalized. In 4 , Stallone almost died, because the first 2_3 rounds werent choreographed, and drago broke his ribs, punctured a lung, punctured his heart sac!
Great reaction. Thank you for being open and showing your emotion. It brings it back to the emotion I felt the first time (and every time I watch this movie). I appreciate you for this.
The 'Rocky'/'Creed' series is my favourite film series and, for me, 'Rocky II' is the best one. It drags you down to sheer hopelessness and builds it all back up. Also, the final fight is arguably the best in the whole series.
The song that begins playing at 11:52 is called _Summer Madness_ by Kool & The Gang. Not sure if someone mentioned it already but it's an amazing song that's been used in a lot media including video games (e.g. GTA 3).
The reason Apollos corner didn't want him to rematch Rocky isn't because they're necessarily afraid that Rocky will kill Apollo. The reason that they want Apollo to stay away is because the type of fighter that Rocky is, he doesn't give up, he's hard to put down and he hits hard. A man with no regard for his own safety who you can't get to stay down, is always trouble and a BIG threat.
People think of fighting as if it's almost like the best fighter is just the best, but fighting is kind of more like an elaborate game of rock paper scissors, that just has more options to choose from. A fighter like Apollo who does something called "stick and move" will often times have some trouble against a guy who's always moving forward, cornering his opponent and impossible to KO.
This is the greatest Rocky II reaction in the history of my life! You even grabbed your face as Adrian does watching the fight from home. I am now subscribed!
If "I'm not crying, you're crying" was a reaction video 😂
Boxing is fairly simple, rules wise. Back then, it was 15 rounds unless there was a knockout, TKO (ref stoppage or corner stoppage), or DQ. There are three judges that score each round. Basically, Apollo was up on all three judges' cards by a wide margin. He was going to leave no doubt in this fight unlike in the first where he took Rocky lightly. But this time he was determined to get the knockout, leaving himself at risk for a knockout. Had he stayed away from Rocky and not tried to knock him out, he'd still be champ.
Loved Apollo's sportsmanship at the end though, the way he hands Rocky the belt, raises his hand, and rubs his head.
Awesome reaction!
Don't apologize, people learn from books other people and experience. HUgs
In real life boxing, if a fighter is hurt and starts taking repeated unguarded punches, the ref will stop the fight to protect the fighter. This is a movie after all and if the ref stopped the fight, it wouldn't be much of a fight😉 Creed's character is like the legendary real life fighter, Muhammed Ali - vivacious, smooth talking and confident, who said, sting like a bee, dance like a butterfly.
Loved your reaction. I was in my 20s when Rocky came out. I'm 65 and watch other people's reactions to this movie. Every single reaction never fails to bring tears to my eyes. Because it brings tears to yours. Thank you
Fun fact: That little speedball at the 19 minute mark was future lightweight and welterweight champion, Manos de Piedras, Roberto Duran.
When the ref says break it's because they are in a clinch where no punches are being thrown,nothing to do with ropes,they can be on the ropes if the want,the rope a dope fae cassius clay was a tactic to make the guy think he was too tired to fight,he would lay back on the ropes and just block the puches to tire the guy out then beat him
Hope you watch them all, definitely worth it
Except 5, of course. Definitely skip 5. Rocky 6 is the movie that 5 should have been and more than does the job. You don't need to know anything that happens in Rocky 5, none of it is ever referenced again. The first Creed movie is actually the best Rocky finale.
@@Ellis_Hugh Lol no. Every reaction channel I have watched enjoys 5 and are confused why people like you have the opinion you have. Skipping it misses out on an important chapter in Rocky's life...it makes me think you don't actually care about the characters.
Edit: and Rocky 6 references 5 when he says "home team" to his son
@@Hatrimn It's a terrible movie that doesn't do justice to the characters. I wouldn't say skip it because it's part of the _Rocky_ franchise and ppl should decide for themselves if they like it but that doesn't make it a good film. Easily one of the worst films of the late 80s/early 90s.
I remembering going to Philadelphia zoo. When Rocky and Adrian were standing outside with the tigers, there is an underneath it a room with glass so people can see the tigers. The tigers would even come up to the glass because it's a one way mirror. Kids would press their faces to the glass to see the tigers.
"I don't think I've ever had happy tears from watching a movie"
Its what we call justice porn. The Rocky movies are extremely powerful in that regard.
This reaction is so great I have seen it about 10 times lol. “Happy tears”
Just because you don't know a certain sport or topic doesn't mean you're stupid. She just something that doesn't interest you. It's common sense that counts. You're pretty much self-aware so you're a pretty smart cookie. And this is a very good real pure reaction. After watching these movies several times you start to realize that the Rocky movies are more about Rocky and Adrian love life their life and they're growing together. But back to the main topic, you. I'm willing to bet you're really good at gymnastics. Probably many other things so you'll be alright. Anyway thanks for this reaction you're doing it proper again thank you for this. Take care
Please react to Rocky 3. I'd like to see what you think of Mr. T. Great reaction.
Never feel dumb about asking questions or not knowing something.
You don't know what you don't know, until you know, you know? lol
How awesome is this franchise? This story? It's so basic, so human... This is the love story even us guys enjoyed. To this day I still love Sylvester Stallone and Carl Weathers. Always great, imo.
The guy he first spars with is actually Roberto Duran,one of the GOAT in Boxing history. There a movie about him called Hands Of Stones with Robert DeNiro as his trainer.
Yes, Butkus was Stallone's actual pet dog. When he was writing the script for the first Rocky, Stallone was so broke and desperate for cash that he ended up selling Butkus to a new owner. But after he sold the script and the movie was set to be made, Stallone tracked down the new owner and bought Butkus back, but the guy wanted 10 times the amount he bought Butkus for. Stallone paid it anyway, and included Butkus in the movie.
It’s safe to say Centane is now invested in the Rocky series #LetsGo 3 and 4 are imo the best
Apollo was embarrassed by Rocky the first fight. He has something to prove now. He doesn’t hate Rocky, he hates that people think he shouldn’t be champ.
Stallone took this idea from the life of Ali once again. When Ali was stripped of the title because he would not honor the draft and go to Vietnam, Joe Frazier became champ. But there were a lot rumblings that he wasn't really the champ and they considered Ali "the people's champ"....sound familiar? When Ali sued to be reinstated the pressure was out on Frazier to fight Ali and eventually this led to The Fight of the Century fight in Madison Square Garden. Ali and Frazier went on to have two more classic fights.
Thanks for a very raw and honest reaction. Rocky is my favorite film series and I'm a girl. I grew up, considering Rocky as my life saver... my fictional father figure cause I didn't have that. I hope you continue all the way to Creed. Keep punching! 🥊😊
To answer the question about the ambulance and traffic. I mostly have experience from Sweden and Belgium and yes, people also move to the side as quickly as possible. From small roads to cities and highways. I noticed the same when driving through the Netherlands. Nice reaction by the way.
I'm glad I discovered your channel. I am old enough to have experienced all the Rocky movies in the theatre. I actually saw Rocky 2 in a Drive In. It's gratifying to see new generations react to Rocky and Adrian the same way as we all did back then. Keep watching and I'll keep viewing along, seeing as how I'm newly subscribed. Thumbs up! Laita!
Apollo's trainer didn't want Apollo to fight Rocky again, because no matter how much Apollo pounded Rocky, he didn't stay down. You don't go against someone who refuses to lose. "We don't need that kind of man in our life."
Yes, traffic is supposed to move over to the side when first responders are on a call. If cops have pulled over someone, we are to get in center lane (3 lanes) Left lane (2 lanes).
Excellent reaction to this masterpiece! “I will not say: do not weep; for not all tears are an evil.”― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King
23:00 - Arguably one of the greatest moments in cinematic history right there. It's like Popeye getting his spinach.
Whats also amazing is, pre 30s, there was no such things as 8 counts, no going to a neutral corner, and fights could ladt 60-70 rounds, until someone just couldn't fight anymore or get knocked out!
Okay so it looks like you may still be a little confused by what was going on in both Rocky 1 and 2. I'll try to clear a few things up. Rocky 1: Rocky's main goal was to 'go the distance'. He wanted to prove that he wasn't just another bum(loser) that he could go toe to toe with the champ. In the mind of Rocky at the end of Rocky 1 he won in a manner of speaking. Since he lasted all 15 rounds he proved to himself he was the real deal. Now this leads into Rocky 2. In the first fight Apollo was not expecting Rocky to be able to fight so hard Apollo was more concerned with the spectacle or the story of the fight than the actual fight. Keep in mind in Rocky 1 Rocky is a nobody and Apollo is a Champion. To the outside world (mainly critics) it looked like Apollo either threw the fight(making it last longer) to make a spectacle of the fight or he just wasn't as good as people thought he was. Since Apollo wasn't able to knock Rocky out it didn't look like Apollo actually beat him. It almost looked like Apollo was given the fight by the judges just because he was the champ. This is why Apollo was so desperate for a rematch he wanted to regain his reputation. As for Rocky not wanting to fight anymore that's because of Adrian I don't think he liked worrying Adrian and I also think Rocky wanted to prove to his wife he was more than just a dumb fighter. However, Rocky still wanted to provide and not just be a normal guy. He can't do that without being a fighter and Adrian realized that too. Even though Adrian didn't like seeing Rocky hurt she knew how important it was to him. So in the end she backed him.
you're so cute... I was 14 when I saw that movie at the theater in 1979. Everyone was wondering if he would win in the months before the movie came out. We found out buying Rocky trading cards before the movie came out.... I still tear when i see some of the scenes with Adrian.
you literally made me love this movie again.... Thank you
Boxers usually try to sell the fight in the run up to it, get more sales and more money coming in.
Fake hatred 100% a thing.
WOUAHHH... What is the reaction!!!! you were genial.. You now understand why we love "Rocky" movies and what a nice reaction
Love the Rocky movies, one of my favorite series. was hooked as a kid and loved them ever since.
PLEASE continue the series it just gets better and better!
I loved your reaction. I've been trying to get my girlfriend to watch the Rocky movies for years, but she just isn't interested as she thinks it's just a man's movie. Great to see the younger generation appreciate these great films
No lady Centane, Appollo's Trainer was very concerned because as stated by Apollo's Trainer: "I saw U beat that man like I've never seen U beat someone before, & the man kept coming after U!" He realized that Rocky was no joke as a Fighter.
What I love about the first two movies, and what the rest of the series gets wrong, is Apollo is not a villain. He’s an antagonist sure, but you can very easily see the story through Apollo’s eyes. It’s pretty well established truth in the series that prime Apollo is the best fighter of the series. So when he’s receiving the hate mail, being told he should kill himself, can you imagine how damaging that would be to a champion’s pride? To the point where he has Rocky easily beaten in this fight if he just stays away, but he can’t. He must put Rocky down to silence the haters and the doubts in his own mind. And putting Rocky down is the one thing he can’t manage to do and the one thing that leaves him vulnerable to Rocky’s attack.
OMG your smile!! Yeah i think this is my favourite Rocky, when she says ''Win!'' I get goosebumps every time
As far as the split decision win for Apollo; in boxing, there are three judges. Each judge scores each round of the fight. At the end, they each total up how they scored the fight. A split decision means that one judge's total had Rocky as the winner, while two judges scored in favor of Apollo. "Split" meaning the judges were split on the outcome. If all three judges agree on the winner, it is stated as a "unanimous decision".
