In Rocky IV, the fight is actually very emotional. Rocky goes into the fight as the underdog, seemingly no chance to win. He is also dealing with the death of his friend Apollo Creed. At first, it does seem as if Drago will win, no problem. However, Rocky attacks when he has his moment and the rest is movie history.

In one behind-the-scenes photo of Sylvester and Dolph, Sylvester captioned it, “Enjoying training together, a week later we were beating the hell out of each other! I’ve done a lot of movie fights, but I believe this is the BEST Boxing Fight In the history of cinema… Dolph Lundgren AKA DRAGO is a powerhouse. I remember when Drago and Creed got into angry shoving match for REAL between rounds and Drago angrily shoved him HARD in the chest and heaved him into his corner… Apollo wanted no part of it! He left the ring…”
