Obviously both of you don't know boxing.. Drago was the icing on the cake.. He had already taken a lot of damage in his career and Drago finished him off.. it wasn't the case of drago doing all of it and the people before did nothing.. Not so. This was further reinforced by the doctor who said YEARS of head trauma along with the clips of him and his past fights as he was first realizing the damage. It showed al lhis fights

it's just a huge coincidence that this head trauma started affecting him directly after the drago fight.
not 10 years before.
not the day before.
not the morning of.
not even the week after.
but in the shower precisely after his fight with drago.
JUST A COINCIDENCE.

Do you think football players have last concussion syndrome because of one hit or a SERIES of hits? It's a series of hits. The damn doctor in the movie SAYS IT WAS FROM YEARS OF HEAD TRAUMA and they proceed to show clips of all his fights. It could be anymore clear. this is the case in the real world and fiction. I most cases it's extended head trauma not just one incident.

I don't know why some of you are going on about being right and winning. Rob and Impediment were in on this gag because I PMed them. Silent and Rao PMed me and figured I changed the post. I highly doubt anybody thought Quan made the post, but simply played along just for the lulz.
I'm ignoring nothing. Again I am not talking about the first fight at all. Why you and others want to bring it up like you're refuting a point of mine makes no sense
He blocked them with his glove on the side of his head. He took Dragos hits raw and unprotected
Dude, I just watched Rocky IV again last night. Ivan Drago had him on the floor rapidly in the first round, and it wasn't until a few rounds later that Rocky even got in some hits. Drago is just a friggin' beast. Before the 15th round, a Politburo guy pisses him off and he one-hand neck lifts the guy with his gloved hand. I mean, really.
This is the same guy who beat Apollo Creed into Action Jackson pudding and then mauled a ridiculously ripped and well trained Rocky for the first part of the match.
You're so biased it sickens me. You're leaving out Apollo was five years out of his prime, it was an exhibition match, and he hit him a lot after the bell.
Drago also hit Rocky after the bell multiple times. Rocky took everything this softie threw at him. His own supporters called him a disgrace. Drago lost the support of an entire nation.
He lost the support of an entire country and unlike Lang never beat Rocky once.
That's all he used against Lang. His whole strategy was to evade and block so he took as few hits as he could. He didn't have a problem Taking Drago's hits
No
Because it shows what his plan was going in(what he did the entire first round) then it shows how he had to change it up due to his original plan not working(when Clubber caught him and thrashed him in round 2). He had to immediately switch gears to survive. He had no trouble taking hits from Drago for 15 rounds without needing to come upwith a plan on the fly.
I did and you're wrong. Rocky's hands block his head
Just wacth this video. From 3:00 until he gets knocked down Rocky tanks a shitload of hits to the face from Clubber. No strategy, no dodging, no blocking.
1. He did have a strategy. He implemented the entire first round and the beginning of the second. You're pointing out where Clubber broke thru Rocky's defense and trying to act as if Rocky was never trying to avoid him to begin with.
2. Yes he took an ass load of shots from Clubber there but far less than the 15 rounds worth he took from Drago. And again after taking those hits from Lang he NEEDED to change his strategy an avoid taking so many hits. With Drago he did just fine taking all those head shots and never needed to block and dodge like he did with Lang
Lang wins. Rocky could and did tank Drago's punches and illegal after the round punches as well. We saw what happened in the first fight when Rocky took Lang's punches.
