I Bet You Even If Rocky Through The Towel.....


Drago wouldnt have stopped. He would have kept fighting. I get that vibe from the jerk.

Rocky should've stopped the fight after the first round. But then we would have a boring movie.

Not killing Apollo wouldn't have resulted in a boring movie. In fact, they didn't have to kill him at all, instead they could've just had Drago pummel Apollo into a coma and that would have been just fine and equally barbarous and then of course have Apollo come out of it at the end, cheesy, but better than killing Apollo. His death was one I could never stomach.

Same here which is why I do not watch this one. Theres only three parts I watch: the opening scene with the two gloves, No Easy Way Out, and Hears On Fire.

Yes. Apollo was his best friend. It's just a fight. Living is more important than "The Eye of The Tiger," or any of the other little slogans used often in this movie. Apollo would have eventually forgiven Rocky. This movie could have been an hour and thirty minute music video with the cheesiest 80's music yet.

Yeah I agree throwing the towel wouldn't have help. Drago even pushed the ref out of the way when he tried to stop the fight. Everyone should have jumped in the ring to restrain Drago at that moment.

I watched a clip for like 2 seconds last night on you tube and I remembered why I dont watch the Appollo Drago fight anymore.

In real life Drago would've been disqualified once the ref came in to stop it and was shoved out of the way. Rocky throwing in the towel wasn't going to stop Drago from beating on Apollo.

reply

That moment was hilarious. They would have disqualified a fighter immediately for doing that in the real world and ended the fight. You don't push the ref aside when he's trying to break up the fighters.

That's pro wrestling sort of stuff there. They don't let that slide in a real athletic event.

It was a "friendly", so they had skimped on the ref using a novice and hadn't got proper sanctioning I.e. Found drago's Hulkout substance and hence why Drago wasn't disqualified

reply

What if Drago woulda kept punching on Apollo after the ref tried to stop it and Rocky jumped in and started hammering on Drago bare-fisted to get him off of Apollo?

reply

That would have been awesome.

Nothing was stopping Rocky and Duke from jumping into the ring and physically hauling Apollo to safety. But it's creative license to I guess haha.

Either put on these glasses or start eatin' that trash can

reply

In real life, spectators would've stormed the ring and mobbed Drago for killing Apollo.
