Actually, I'm going to have to agree with you jplat.
Rocky will win the fight, no arguments there. "The Touch" will just pump him up to something the Predator has never seen before.
But while Rocky is revelling in his glorly, no one will notice the Predator reach to his wrist, type in a small code, then watch as small alien characters count down, only to reach zero. Then the entire arena/stadium/city goes boom.
But...in the end...Rocky still wins.
I say Rocky wins this fight. i mean, he's got heart, an the predator dont. the pred fights for fun, but rocky does it for respect. he can triumph over any one if he wants to enough. he just needs to be inspired by paulie or adrian (micky and apollo too, if they weren't dead, which makes it even more personal if the pred killed someone close to him). Even so, have you see his chicken catching skills? is that impressive or what?
