20 Things You May Have Missed In Creed
5. Rocky III's Ending Received Some Clarity
One of the most gripping facets of the earlier Rocky entries was the dynamic between Rocky and Apollo Creed. From a David and Goliath-style rivalry, to an uneasy alliance and then a genuine friendship, the two boxers were entertaining to watch in every form of their relationship.
That said, Apollo was always keen on being on top of the boxing game and this desire culminated in Rocky III's infamous freeze cut ending that saw the fighters settle who the superior fighter was among them.
The outcome of the fight was debated for over three decades till Creed came around. Not long after meeting Adonis for the first time, the former champ casually stated that Apollo won their final match. This reveal made sense as Apollo was always the superior athlete despite Rocky making up for this with his determination and resilience.
