Why isn't Adrian present at Rocky's match against Apollo?
She stays in the locker room all along and just goes out until it finishes. It seems as if something was troubling her but I'm not quite able to decipher it yet.
shareGreat question! Some possible theories.
1) She was too nervous to watch him fight.
2) Didn't want to say it to Rocky, but figured he would get pummeled and it would be over fast. When almost an hour went by and Rocky hadn't come back yet, she probably figured he was doing well and might actually go the distance.
3) They didn't have a ticket for her. Another example of Rocky just being another part of the Apollo show that they didn't even give him any tickets. Paulie had to pay for his, and Gazzie, probably had connections. No one noticed her watching from the tunnel toward the end because by that point it was an exciting fight and everyone was riveted by it. Then she was able to slip through the crowd, and Paulie helped her get into the ring.
