Who do you guys think won the friendly fight at the end?


Sorry if this has been asked before, but I want to know everyone's view as to who won the match between Rocky and Apollo at the end? I'd say Rocky all the way simply for the fact that Rocky now had Apollo's boxing skills along with HIS skills that helped him beat Apollo in the second movie.

It was a draw, like their first fight except there weren't any judges around to make the call. I wonder if they fought in that little shabby gym until they were both bruised and bleeding out of their eyes.

If it were a real fight, it would be Rocky - Apollo was over the hill and would have run out of gas. But in a sparring session, where Rocky isn't looking to hurt him, Apollo would dance around Rocky and make him look foolish.

Rocky said in "Creed" that Apollo won.

Creed wasn't written yet in 1982.

It was mentioned in one of the trailers for the upcoming Rocky spin off "Creed". The son of Apollo Creed meets Rocky Balboa and requests that the elder boxer train him. It is scheduled to be released on November 25, 2015 in the United States.

A draw, or an Apollo win.

I think Apollo was taking it more seriously than Rocky was. Rocky was essentially doing it as a favour to make Apollo feel better about himself, so probably took it easy on him.

I'd say it was a draw.
