1:31:07
- I think I'm startin' to get a headache.
- No, you are in perfect workin' condition.
1:31:12
- You are perfect.
- You look good, too.
1:31:14
And you look perfect.
1:31:16
- Hey, Mick.
- Yeah.
1:31:18
In case I don't get a chance, I just wanna
say I'm gonna be tryin' hard for you.
1:31:22
- Thank you.
- Ain't this robe nice?
1:31:25
It's better than last year.
Remember that baggy one?
1:31:28
- This is gorgeous. It's perfect.
- Yeah, it's real cute. I like it.
1:31:38
Rocky Balboa heading toward the ring.
1:31:41
Yes, sir. Rocky Balboa,
known to millions as the Italian Stallion.
1:31:44
Making his way to the ring.
Why this fighter of limited ability
1:31:48
has gained such popularity
is such a mystery.
1:31:51
Rocky Balboa. The folks at the Spectrum
are beginning to chant his name.
1:31:56
- He has an awful lot of backers here.
- Balboa is wearing a black and gold robe.
1:32:01
He wore a red one the last time
from that meat-packing plant.
1:32:05
Or from the high school
he never graduated from!
1:32:07
31 years of age. There he is shaking
hands with the referee, Lou Filippo.
1:32:12
And we're waiting now for
the champion to come into the ring.
1:32:19
It's certainly packed with Rocky's people.
1:32:22
I've never seen so many
Italians in one place!
1:32:24
Hey, hey. You said that. I didn't say that.
1:32:27
- These people are for you!
- I appreciate it.
1:32:29
- Are you ready in here?
- I think so.
1:32:32
Tonight's our night.
1:32:33
By the sound of the crowd, the champion
is just now coming into the Spectrum.
1:32:37
And the champion, Apollo Creed.
1:32:40
And he looks a little more determined
this time than he did the last time.
1:32:44
- It's Apollo.
- Who'd you expect?
1:32:46
I was hopin' he wouldn't show.
1:32:52
The champ of all time!
1:32:54
Now the champion is
climbing into the ring.
1:32:56
Very determined-looking.
Very serious right now.
