Unfortunately, Creed fought Ivan drago, a 6'5" Russian who has never lost a match, and sadly, brutally murders Apollo in the ring. A funeral is held and times start going downhill fast.

- There have been rumours of doping...

...and widespread distribution of

anabolic steroids in the Soviet Union.

- Has Drago partaken in any experiments?

- No! Lvan is naturally trained.

Then how do you explain his,

uh... freakish strength?

Like your Popeye,

he ate his spinach every day.

- Shall we have a demonstration?

- (man#1) Please do.

A normal heavyweight averages

As you can see,

Drago averages 1850 pounds.

- So the result's quite obvious.

- And what results are those?

Whatever he hits, he destroys.

I've seen Drago fight when he was an

amateur. He's big and strong, but clumsy.

I know I can beat him.

- Why do you wanna fight again?

- Let's just say it's somethin' I believe in.

- Uh, you can do your homework.

- OK. Later, Dad. Later, Uncle Paulie.

- Later, Apollo.

- Later, big man.

See you later, kiddo.

Don't you think people are expectin'...

...to see Rocky whack this bum out first?

- Yeah. And he will, when it's for real.

- This is an exhibition bout. Kids' stuff.

- What's the purpose?

What at this point in your life

is worth getting hurt for?

# Double or nothin',

you've gotta have a partner...

- What the hell is that?

- That's my girl.

# Takin' and givin',

it's time we started livin'...

- Thanks, honey.

- (female voice) You're welcome.

- That's a nice song.

- It's my favourite. You're the greatest.

See you, sport.

- See you.

- Paulie, who taught it to talk like that?

- She loves me.

- Oh.

# You stepped out of the night...

Like I was sayin', I don't want this chump

to come over here with all that hype...

...tryin' to make us look bad.

They try every other way.

With Rock's help, we can get great

media coverage. We make them look bad.

- I think it's wrong.

- No. It's never been more right.

You're a great fighter,

but you've been retired five years.

Isn't it time to start

thinking about something else?

How much can you take? Either of you?

I'll... get the coffee.

Look, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to...

I just care about you both. I...

You ever try these comics?

- No, no.

- Keeps your fertility.

Hey, Paulie.

In the ring now... Rocky's holding that

right hand. He's fighting right-handed!

(Apollo) Oh, now this was a great fight.

Great(!) I'm gettin' punchy just watchin' it!

Mamma mia! What you usin'

for a chin there, Stallion?

- I should've slipped that one.

- You definitely should've slipped that.

It's crazy how people just care about you

in that ring and when you're bleedin'...

...but once you step out,

you're ancient history.

It ain't ancient history.

I don't see anybody askin'

for autographs, do you?

Hey, Apollo...

Can I, uh, ask you somethin'?

What?

Well, this fight you're havin' against
