20 Things You Somehow Missed In Rocky
1. Rocky Actually Wins The Fight With A Knock Out… In The First Round
There's a thrilling moment in the first round of the fight, about fifty-five seconds in. Rocky lands a hit on Apollo and knocks the champ down. The crowd goes crazy, local bar patrons are shown cheering, and Apollo seems stunned. It's a moment that demonstrates Rocky is no bum, that he poses a threat to Creed, and he could actually win the fight.
Except… he does win the fight, and he wins it at that moment. Seriously, go back and watch the match. Count how many seconds it takes Creed to get up - about fifteen, and a ten count should have ended the fight. Except the ref waits about ten seconds to even start counting.
So yeah, Rocky was robbed. They should've crowned him the heavyweight champion, and also someone really should've done a welfare check on Butkus!
