What would happen in an Rocky vs. Drago exhibition fight?

The movie opens up with Drago's team wanting an exhibition with Rocky. Suppose Apollo is satisfied with training Rocky to get his title back and decides to stay out of boxing. If Balboa has typical press conference where he's humble then Drago won't be incensed to destroy him as he did with Apollo. Rocky won't train with near the intensity as did when trying to get revenge for Apollo's death. What do you think would happen in an Rocky vs. Drago exhibition fight?

In reality? Probably the same thing that happened to Apollo. Rocky may have been in a better shape, but he still couldn't have expected Drago to be that powerful.

I don't think Rocky would have died like Apollo. I think it would be more like the first fight with Mr. T. He definitely would have lost though.

Drago would have massacred him. Rocky would have been brutally KO'd in 2 rounds or less. The only reason Rocky won in their actual match is because he was motivated like never before.

Rocky might've met the same fate as Apollo. He wouldn't take an exhibition fight as seriously.
