Today we explore the inspiring and iconic film Rocky for the first time. Watch as I experience the gritty, heartfelt journey of Rocky Balboa, an underdog boxer from Philadelphia, fighting not just for the championship but for respect and self-worth.
I vaguely knew about Rocky but didn't really know the details of the story, so this was a big surprise to me! Thanks to Kris Nandury for requesting it through Reactr. You can request a custom reaction too: reactr.tv/crist...

🛑 SPOILER ALERT: This video includes spoilers for Rocky. Make sure to watch the movie first if you want to avoid spoilers!
Whether you're a longtime fan of the Rocky series or just discovering it through my eyes, I hope you find something to cheer for in this reaction.
The Rocky films are less about fighting and more about their love story and how her love, her sometimes tough love, and even her stubbornness, her support, it serves to guide him and make everything possible for him, and that theme gets stronger with each film. Adrian is everything.
Rocky and Adrian are the greatest love story in cinema. I hope you continue the story.
I will!
@@CristyReactsat the time I'm making this comment I just started watching the reaction and your opening question that you googled was is this based on a true story! It said yes and this is the story!!
First let me say I grew up in a town called Bayonne New Jersey which is in Northeast New Jersey and right smack in the middle of "Sopranos country"!!😮😅
There was a regional champion heavyweight boxer from Bayonne by the name of Chuck Werner!!
NOW the situation did not happen the SAME way it happens in the movie BUT Chuck Wepner got the opportunity, in 1975, to fight Muhammad Ali for the heavyweight championship of the world!!
In the media, Chuck Wepner was called the "Great White Hope" but his nickname was the "Bayonne Bleeder"!
He got that nickname because he was very easy to cut and he bled very often during his fights!!
As in the movie it was a 15 round bout!! And also as in the movie Chuck knocked Muhammad Ali down very early in the fight!! The fight went into the 15th round before Ali ended it with a knockout!!
Chuck Wepner's face looked very much like Sylvester Stallone's face at the end of the fight in this film!!
In the crowd that night sitting ringside was Sylvester Stallone himself!!
He was so inspired by what he had just witnessed that he immediately went home and finished his script for this film!!❤❤❤
For many years Sly denied Chuck Wepner the appreciation and EVEN credit for having inspired him!! But at some point later down the line they reconciled and he DID give Chuck Wepner the credit he deserved!!
There's actually a great film about Chuck Wepner starring Leif Shriver (Ray Donovan) portraying Chuck Wepner!!
Anyway that's the story and I'm sticking to it😅😅
Absolutely!
She became a very strong woman who always supported her husband.
Yea, most people think of Rocky as a Boxing/Sports film, but it's definitely a love story.
@@bernardsalvatore1929 honorable judge wepner. Also the actor who played Paulie was quite the boxer in real life. Glad they casted him.
Paulie actually has a purpose in this movie... he symbolizes what happens to the majority of people who live in this neighborhood over the course of decades. Rocky on the other hand represents what COULD be if someone is given a chance before life beats them down beyond redemption.
@kenschortgenjr7540 Mickey is kind of in the same boat. He realizes that his glory days are over and just wants to relive them thru Rocky so maybe he feels relevant again.
2:45 No, Rocky is not directly based on a true story, but it was inspired by real-life events. The character of Rocky Balboa was loosely based on the career and fights of Chuck Wepner, a lesser-known boxer who competed against heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali in 1975. Wepner fought Ali for 15 rounds, despite the odds, and became a hero to many. Sylvester Stallone was inspired to write the script for Rocky after watching the fight
Good explanation. Unfortunately, Chuck got knocked out before going the distance.
The Wepner fight was ugly. Wepner had no business being in the ring with Ali. Ali was toying with him until Wepner would not stop fighting dirty, so Ali ended it.
That’s awesome.
In the end, it doesn't matter who won the fight. Rocky wasn't trying to win the fight. What Rocky wanted was, to go the distance, win the girl, and to be somebody ..... He won all three!
That's what makes this the best of the series. Victory is not necessarily winning a contest.
In American Football (National Football League - NFL), back in 1965 thru 1973, there was this player for the Chicago Bears named Richard "Dick" Butkus. He was a rough & tumble defensive linebacker who played well and helped the Bears win championships. Every tough guy in America wanted to be like Dick Butkus. The dog playing in this movie was Sylvester Stallone's real-life dog, whom he named Butkus. Because he was a no-name in Hollywood at the time, Stallone had to sell Butkus to get the money to make this movie. After the movie did well, and Stallone was a big name in Hollywood, he went back and bought Butkus from the guy he sold him to. Butkus lived with Stallone for the rest of his life.
Excellent explanation!! Well done.
SS also had to act in an “adult movie” when first getting his start as an actor. To an extent the story of stallon are the same.
Thanks, you saved me the time to send an explanation.
Go Bears!
@@tywayne3 Where do you want them to go?
Rocky 2! One of the best sequels ever made.
As a kid I never gave Rocky a chance because I thought it was just a generic boxing movie, and I was never too excited about sports. Once I finally got around to watching it I realized it was more of a character film than a Sports movie and it became one of my favorites. I also grew to really appreciate Stallone a lot more seeing as he wrote this, and gave a unique and amazing performance. I never thought I would love the Character Rocky so much.
Rocky knew how shy Adrian was. He wasn't being too aggressive with her, he would never have pushed her too far, he just knew she was so shy she needed coaxing.
He also asked for her permission to kiss her, even if it was in a roundabout way. We never came close to doing anything like that in the 70's.
You got to understand in today’s world with the metoo movement the diddy r Kelly Jay z stuff and a lot more things, reactors always get uncomfortable and defensive of that particular scene. This is the third time a reactor has reacted that way “she said no” “let her leave” “he’s being overly aggressive” back in the 70s this was normal.
As Rocky would say, "Absolutely."
Yes, coming from a woman, back in the 70's, and the decades before, & into the 80's, men believed in the art of seduction. And being a little pushy or coaxing a woman into intimacy was part of it.
I was allot like Adrian...
Rocky knew he didn't have the skills to beat Apollo, but he knew he had the heart to keep going for the entire fight. No fighter had ever finished a fight with Apollo; he had knocked every one of them out so going the distance with Apollo was a big accomplishment.
VERY IMPORTANT: when they talk about stopping the fight or throwing in the towel, it means they think the fighter can't defend themselves any more and want to give up before the fighter gets seriously hurt.
That is right.
When Rocky went down in the 14th, just when Adrienne was watching, Mickey told him to stay down, but Rocky refused. That is not what Rocky came here for. Apollo could not believe it.
Rocky is a love story, BTW. Boxing is just the background context.
Rest in peace Carl Weathers(Apollo Creed), Burt Young(Paulie), and Burgess Meredith(Mickey).
Sylvester one said that Paulies character was a school mate of Rocky.. they had spent years in school together as kind of best friends.... Rocky also always had a crush on Adrian from afar during those school years... And during school Rocky and Paulie were kind of like equals... but as they grew up, Rocky became everything that Paulie wanted to be but couldn't... and that makes him jealous more and more.. and that's the basis of their friendship. Great reaction. ❤
Seeing this as a kid when it came out in the theater in 1976 was exhilarating. So inspirational because it shows that hard work pays off.
Was there!
"Butkus" was named after Dick Butkus, who was a great linebacker for the Chicago Bears in the mid-60s and early 70s.
And a terrible man.
@@sethmusic Don't do that. Have some manners
@@luvlgs1 no one who loved butkus didn't die of a heart attack while defending themselves of racist activities while copulating with an underaged sibling.
Go Bears!
At the heart of the entire series, the rocky saga is undoubtably a love story. It just happens to be in the world of boxing. Please continue, and I will watch every single one, including the creed series, for which Rocky also appears.
2:50 "I don't get the sport of beating someone up." 41:50 "Punch him in the face! Break his ribs!" Behold the magic of, "Rocky." There is more magic available to you. I look forward to watching you react to Rocky 2, 3, and 4.
For most fans ( I think) it's not so much about the beating of another person but seeing someone push through pain, getting past adversity and endurance.
The poster on Balboa's wall was of Rocky Marciano. The only undefeated heavyweight boxer in history. 48 Wins no losses.
Adrian was the "second Rocky" in the movie, and to say she brings him "nothing" brings doubt about your concern for his well-being. Adrian is a mirror image of Rocky, and has had to struggle just as hard as he did for recognition without the movie focusing on her. She is obviously who and what he cares about above all else. To him she IS everything.
Yo! You're a hundred percent right!
Dick Butkus was a football player in the 60’s/70’s. Apollo was thinking it was a show because he thought it would be an easy fight. So he wasn’t taking him seriously.
Fun fact: The poster WAS actually wrong. The art department made a mistake and they didn’t have the money to fix it so Stallone wrote this into the script to cover for it.
I love how the announcement of the decision was in the background because it doesn't matter if he won or lost. Rocky and Adrian declaring their love for each other was the important thing.
"Oh... We're going to the floor? Floor kissing?" 😂😂😂
Just to be clear, the payday of $150,000 was win or lose. Rocky gets it no matter what happens. The "purse" is what the winner gets - when it's offered.
A "tramp" is someone who travels but avoids work if possible; a "bum" neither travels nor works, and a "hobo" is a traveling worker. It used to be that being called a bum was an insult because a bum didn't work, didn't provide for anyone or for himself, didn't contribute to society and lived on handouts. Nowadays, people take pride in being a bum and living off of the efforts of others, handouts and government programs meant for those who CAN'T work.
What a good doggie, listening carefully and taking in your explanations. The true channel hero.
I don't get why you didn't think Adrian was right for Rocky, they are perfect for each other.
Maybe you need to watch it again because I think you missed how much they helped each other grow.
She'll see. Give it til the next movie. (No spoilers.)
A "sparring partner" is someone you practice and train with when you're a fighter. Fighting each other in training is called "sparring".
To be fair, Rocky's talking for both of them.
Adrian doesn't talk much. 😉
Butkus is named after Dick Butkus, hall of fame linebacker for the Chicago Bears in the 1960’s.
Butkis was named after the most feared tacklers in the NFL, in the 60s and 70s. Dick Butkis of the Chicago Bears. The monster of the Midway.
Go Bears!
Some context about the boxing scenes, since you arent very familiar with the sport:
A championship fight back then was 15 rounds, today it is 12.
One round is 3 minutes, and theres a 1 minute rest period in between rounds.
If noone is knocked out, then three judges will decide who won on points.
Creed predicted he would knock Rocky out within 3 rounds, but was obviously underestimating how tough Rocky would be.
You asked why the referee separated the fighters. It was because the round was over. No fighting allowed when that bell rings to signal the end of the round.
Creed won a "split decision", meaning that two of the judges saw him as the winner, while one judge saw Rocky as the winner. In other words, it was a very close fight, but Rocky did lose.
When Mick tells Rocky to stay down, its because he doesnt want Rocky to get hurt anymore and just take the loss. It was a gruelling fight and both corners considered stopping the match. A cornerman has the right to "throw in the towel" in other words to stop the fight if they think their fighter is taking too much punishment. That would mean their fighter loses, which is why both Rocky and Creed are so oposed to the idea.
About why Mick wanted Rocky to "lay off that pet shop dame": There used to be a belief among athletes that sex would drain you of energy, testosterone etc. And you should not have sex during training leading up to a big event. This was believed not only by boxers, but athletes in all kinds of sports.
"Rocky is mostly a love story."
Silvester Stallone
It's such a cute little boxing story in the middle of this romance😁
The two turtles seen in the Rocky films are Stallone's actual turtles. From my understanding, they're still alive and well. His brother, Frank appeared as the streetcorner singer at the beginning of the film. Frank is a heck of a singer, songwriter, musician, and quite a character.
And the dog Sylvester Stallone’s real dog
"Kinda rude" is the nicest thing anyone ever called Paulie.
My Uncle Carmen was outside the store on 9th street with the owner of the Giordano’s grocery store. As Stallone was jogging behind a white van, my uncle told his friend, “Throw him an orange.” The director liked the scene and left it in the movie!
Rocky is not about boxing. It is a love story.
When Rocky went down in the 14th, just when Adrienne was watching, Mickey told him to stay down, but Rocky refused. That is not what Rocky came here for. Apollo could not believe it.
Those turtles, Cuff and Link, are still alive today. Of course they got bigger.
It's about boxing bro lol
@@clarkness77 No.
It is a love story first and a sports movie 2nd. The sport just happens to be boxing. Anyone who says otherwise missed the whole meaning of the movie. Their love just gets stronger and stronger. They are made for each other. Rocky is a very kind sweet man. Anyone who does no like these movies are not getting the point. The fist Karate Kid movie is another good movie with fighting in it. It has a similar vibe but still quite different.
@@martinwhite3559 That is exactly right.
That pain in your side is called getting a "stitch" in your side
Geez I’m American and I’ve never heard of that term before. I just say my side hurts lmao.
He had a cramp. I used to get them after football games and losing hydration.
@@israymervalentin-arias6313 Yup, that's the term, but it's not nearly as well known today.
Its a cramp
It’s a cramp. But when I played high school football in the 70s, we also called it a “stitch”.
I don't know if you recognized her but the actress that played Adrian also played Connie Corleone, Michael Corleone's sister in Godfather!! She's also the real life sister of Godfather director Francis Ford Coppola.
Mickey didn't want Rocky to keep receiving so much punishment anymore, that's why he said to him to "stay down". And what they cut was his eyelid, so that the blood in his bruise get released
39:28 "why stay down ? No get up" 😂
for mick rocky had already put up a good fight and wanted to preserve it. so he told him to stay on the ground so as not to take any additional punches
Kristy, I love your reactions. Please don’t make me unsubscribe because you’re not letting us enjoy the film with you. We can still hear you and see you just fine if you keep your bubble in the corner or show both you and the entire movie at the same time. Thank you sweetheart.
7:15 Hitler loved animals; he put in place some very strict animal cruelty laws in Germany, and he was a vegetarian!
Gazzo and rocky are actually half-brothers (a scene in the script, never filmed, says that they have the same father) so yes, he is quite nice to rocky
What's your source for this? I've never heard that anywhere.
@@johannesvalterdivizzini1523 Yeah I’d love to see a source for this. Very interesting.
I’d love to see a source as well…
@@johannesvalterdivizzini1523 i dont remember, probably the DVD audio comment or something like that
Thanks for this little gem.
There is lots of little gems out there if you dig for them.
Apollo's trainer....Tony "Duke" Evers was a boxer and in his last fight, he was beat by Apollo Creed (before Creed became heavyweight champ).
HAAAA HAA! 😂 Three day recovery for a stubbed toe!! That's funny! A guitar, Wine, some snackys! Sounds like a good time! Great Reaction! Peace 🕊️☮️♾️😎🎸🤟🏼
Rocky isnt a boxing movie, its a love story that happens to have a boxing match in the background.
Cristy as you continue with the franchise, remember the driver telling Rocky to take Adrian to the zoo! 😂😂😊
I hadn’t noticed that before. Ah-ha 😅
We went to Philly few years back. We ran up those stairs Rocky style 😊
The pain in your side caused by physical exertion is sometimes called a "runner's stitch" or a "side stitch".
what causes it i used to get it every once in awhile when i played hockey
@@tomharrison6607 Despite extensive research and studies into the topic, the exact cause of a stitch still isn’t clear. Many reasonable explanations have been put forward, all of which have some evidence to support them.
Here’s a summary of some of the most common theories -
Some people believe that a decrease in blood flow to the diaphragm is the main cause of a stitch. Your diaphragm is the muscle which expands your lungs to allow you to breath, and exercising increases the demand placed on it, therefore causing localised irritation and pain.
Another possible explanation is that a stitch is your ligaments and the membrane (which hold and connect all of the various muscles, bones and organs inside the abdomen) ‘tugging’. The impact and movement during physical activity pulls the organs in your abdomen downwards, tugging on the ligaments in the upper abdomen and thus causing irritation.
Others believe that stitches are caused by irritation of the spinal column. This line of reasoning suggests the pain caused from a side stitch is a result of applying pressure to the vertebrae along the upper spine, and those with a more sharply curved upper spine are particularly prone to suffering from them.
Failing to warm up correctly and eating and drinking inappropriately are also thought to increase the possibility of causing a stitch.

Sly Stallone has written a Rocky 7 screenplay, a prequel focusing on Rocky's teenage years set during the early 1960's. He's been trying to pitch it to Irvin Winkler, producer of the previous Rocky films.
The scene where Rocky runs up the steps was filmed without acquiring permits.
Yes!! Let’s start this franchise!! Let’s go!!💪🇺🇸
The Liberty Bell is from the State House in Pennsylvania. It got famous for it's ringing to gather the citizens to hear the first reading of the Declaration of Independence. It was still called the State House Bell though. Abolitionists adopted the bell as their symbol later on and they are the ones that named it "The Liberty Bell". The big crack that rendered it unringable happened on Washington's birthday. It only rings once a year now. It's given a slight tap every year on Martin Luther King Jr's birthday at the request of his widow. It's a universal American symbol of freedom.
As Rocky says to Paulie in a later film “You’re like a crazy brother to me. You really are. So this is coming from the heart, and I truly mean this. You aint down, and you aint a loser. You’re just a lazy. Jealous. Bum!”
Dick Butkus was a football linebacker. The dog was actually Stallone's dog that he had to sell while trying to get the movie made because he was flat broke. He bought him back,
Go Bears!
My wrestling coach used to say, "Be a glitter, not a quitter."
Bum or Bums was often used in the past to describe sports athletes or teams that aren't playing or performing well or losing a lot.
One more thing, lol. If you are going to continue to watch Rocky, remember that Apollo didn't take the fight seriously and didn't train well...
I've probably seen this movie 200 times including in the theater when it first came out and I never noticed the No Kissing sign until today.
The next 2 are really good. 4 was ok & 5 wasn't good. Balboa was a great ending to the Rocky series.
Women have Twilight. Men have Rocky.
What does Butkus mean? Dick Butkus was a middle linebacker (in American football, a defensive player responsible for stopping runs as well as tackling pass receivers anywhere on the field) for the Chicago Bears in the 60s and early 70s. Toughest player you ever saw. He was the most feared tackler in the NFL. He had a technique where he could "cock" his shoulder and then hit you with it like a fist. According to Hall of Famer, Deacon Jones: "Dick was an animal. I called him a maniac. A stone maniac. He was a well-conditioned animal, and every time he hit you, he tried to put you in the cemetery, not the hospital." For a bulldog, Butkus would be a name used to denote high respect.
Boxing 101: knocked down for 10 seconds is a knock out, but if you are obviously knocked unconscious, the ref will end it immediately without counting. A round is 3 minutes, and in Rocky they go for 15 rounds ( modern boxing usually don't go this many rounds). If there's no knockout, there are 3 judges that keep a scorecard for the whole fight. The end of Rocky was a split decision, so 2 judges said Creed and 1 said Rocky.
Boxing fights used to be 15 rounds until 1982 when they switched it to 12 because many fighters were getting brain damage or hemorrhaging which lead to death.
A Stitch is what we call the pain in the stomach from exercising. It mostly comes from running too long and drinking too much water at the same time.
Rooting for the underdog means you want a close fight and that you are a very caring person. The second movie is an extension of the first. They should be watched back to back.
This is the greatest love story in cinema history.
You have a very cute dog.
Cristy tells her dog that Rocky is the underdog. Dog wonders what that makes him.
Mickey tells him to stay down because he’s afraid he’ll get hurt more if he tries to keep going.
Cool reaction Cristy! Quinton Tarantino says Rocky 2 is in his top two favorite movies of all time!
He calls himself Rocky since his hero in the movie is real-life champion boxer Rocco "Rocky" Marciano. Plus, it's not too far removed from his (movie Rocky's) real first name, Robert (Balboa). Butkus the dog is named after Hall of Fame football player Dick Butkus who was one of the greatest and most intimidating linebackers in professional football history.
Go Bears!
❤❤❤ you have the best reaction ever ever ever. You are the best thank you.❤❤❤❤❤ and you feel your appendix about the burst when you’re running a long time❤❤❤
Not really based on a true story, but based on a certain fighter who went the distance with Muhammad Ali. The dog in the cage is actually Sylvester Stallone's dog. When Rocky is walking home and those people are singing, the guy singing the song is Sylvester Stallone's brother… Frank Stallone. The guy ringing the bell at the big fight at the end is Sylvester Stallone's father. When Gazzo pulls out his inhaler that actually happened. The actor had an asthma attack. Instead of stopping the scene, he just reacted, pulled out his inhaler, did it and then continued down with the scene. Talia Shire had the flu during the kissing scene. And then Sylvester Stallone got very sick.
Sylvester Stallone was born July 6, 1946. Rocky was filmed between January 9, 1976 to March 5, 1976. So Stallone was actually 29 during filming.
Smoking Joe Frazier was literally the man who shut Mohammed Ali up by breaking his jaw!! I'm old enough to have watched that awesome fight.
This love letter to underdogs everywhere is Cinderella with boxing gloves.
A romance disguised as a boxing movie.
Maybe the most sentimental film ever made.
Apollo won, but it really didn't matter.
Rocky went the distance, and he conquered his self-doubt, and found his self-esteem.
He also wins Adrian's heart.
Rocky was the first winner of the Best Picture Oscar that ended with the line,
"I love you."
It was fitting.
Rocky was a love story and man it was a great one.
Rocky is NOT based on a true story, it's a fictional story. Seriously don't trust Google A.I.. Stallone wrote the screenplay for Rocky in three and a half days, shortly after watching the championship match between Muhammad Ali and Chuck Wepner. Despite the match motivating Stallone to begin work on Rocky, he has denied Wepner provided any inspiration for the script. Other inspiration for the film may have included characteristics of real-life boxers Rocky Marciano and Joe Frazier, as well as Rocky Graziano's autobiography. Wepner sued Stallone, and eventually settled for an undisclosed amount.
Stallone started writing the screenplay for Rocky in 1974 during production of Lords Of Flatbush, the film he co-starred alongside Henry Winkler and Perry King.
Because America's work ethic was stronger in the 1970's and because more people took pride in whatever work they did back then - calling a NON boxer a "bum" was insulting because it was the same as calling them "lazy" (no work ethic, and no dignity). A BOXER being called a "bum" even today - means their record is no good and their career is going nowhere.
We need Paulie to serve as a foil for Rocky's character. For those who don't remember high school English, a foil character is a literary device that contrasts with another character to highlight their traits.
No insult is intended by my providing the definition. I teach this stuff for a living. Not everyone does.
7:43 do yourself a big favor when you get a chance,read the backstory of this movie. It’s so incredible about what Stallone had to go through to get this movie made.
Rocky doesn't have to break up with Adrian.
He just can't be having sex before the fight.
I love that you told your doggie what was happening.
My favorite Rocky movies in order: 3, 1, 6 (Rocky Balboa), 2, 4, 5. But all are very good.
The greatest love story ever told ❤ you'll love this franchise
Christy thank you! I love you for doing this. I just saw that it’s on here and I will be watching later today. I hope you loved it and do the whole series (including the Creed movies)!
My wife just laughed at me because I saw this was on here and I said “I love her!” And she said “who???” And I said my favorite reactor just did my favorite movie.
She said “well I’m glad she did your favorite movie, but if you say you love her again you’re sleeping alone” 😂
That's hilarious! Your wife sounds awesome!
@ She is! Best decision I made in my life was marrying her. 15 years so far and many more to go!
I wish we got more on Gazzo honestly, he's nothing but good to Rocky every time we see him
She couldn't resist the romantic music and the stallion 😂.
You're right about boundaries, but that wasn't really understood in the '70s.
Lol most females don't understand boxing but they understand owning millions of pairs of shoes.
Loved ur Spanish reaction to Rocky getting his eye cut open!
Remember above all things, watching Rocky and Creed movies, it's always been a love story between Rocky and Adrian, it just so happens the backdrop is boxing.
No kissing is a boxing term, which means"kiss the canvas" is when a boxer is knocked out before he hits the canvas and is lying face down
The little girl Marie character they brought back for Rocky Balboa in 2006 as a love interest for Rocky but not surprisingly they had to go with a younger more attractive actress to make it more palatable.
le cortan el párpado para que la sangre acumulada salga y asi pueda vover a abrir el ojo
I agree with those who see this film as one of the greatest love stories in cinema. Boxing was just a small part of it. Cristy, you said it yourself. With Adrian, Rocky learned to open up about his feelings. As a geeky teenager seeing this in theater, Rocky was a hero. He won the girl!
Calling some one a bum isn't exactly a compliment now.
19:51 A sparring partner is a boxer that fights with as contender, in this case, the champ, so the champ can practice boxing moves. Basically a training fighter.
*Sparring Partner* is somebody to train fight with
BOXING 101... each round is 3min, Championship fights used to be 15 rounds but are 12 today (for safety) You win by Knock Out or decision by 3 Judges. The Judges score each round 10pts to the winner & 9 or less to the loser, because each time your Knocked down you lose a point,
In this fight 2 out of the 3 Judges gave *Apollo Creed* more points & the 3rd Judge had them tied or Rocky winning so *Apollo Creed WON by Majority Decision*
Hi Cristy, I have been following your reaction videos exclusively for about a week or and I love what you do. Nobody does it like you do. You don't speak too much and when you do have something to say, it's hilarious! I am also Hispanic, so when you break into your Latino alter-ego, it is especially entertaining.
I know that I am not a on your patron, but I wanted to recommend "Band of Brothers." I have looked at your your videos and I have not seen you do a reaction to this very important TV limited series. It's only 10 episodes, but if you love war content, this will change your life; especially since it's based on a true story. Anyway, I hope to see you do Band of Brothers one day and thanks for your content!
Hi! Thank you for this lovely comment! I'm already doing Band of Brothers but right now it's a Patreon exclusive, might bring it into the channel later :)
@CristyReacts Awesome! Thanks!
When the guy said he doesn’t know it’s a show. It’s because they picked Rocky for the name, they didn’t expect him to do good that’s why they thought it was just gonna be a spectacle. Un espectáculo, una pelea para que él campeón gane fácilmente, y a la misma vez ganar bastante dinero
Rocky Balboa is the greatest movie character of all time.
