Rocky II and dad.

Category: dribblings

So Popsicle came over to watch a documentary I had dvr’d and went I exited that screen the TV was on HBO and it was the last fight scene in Rocky II.

We were watching this super dramatic fight, and it was so long and so ridiculous. Like, Rocky is just getting his face KILLED, and Apollo looks like he’s not even breaking a sweat. Mickey is yelling at Rocky, but you can’t hear what he’s saying, and Apollo’s coach says “Stick and move!” about 30 times each time there’s a corner scene. Then it cuts to Talia Shire fearfully watching the fight on her TV in the comfort of her own home all alone. She hasn’t got one friend? (Wait, was Paulie with her? Who cares.)

Anyway I said to dad, “You know, I have no idea who wins this fight.”

He says, “I was just thinking the same thing.”

“Shouldn’t we know this?”

“It’s probably Rocky, but still, I’m not sure.”

“He’s going to have to knock Apollo out because if they do it by points? Rocky lost 6 rounds ago.”

“True dat. His face.”

“How many rounds do they fight?”

“Heavy weights go for 15 rounds.”

“That is totally something guys know.”

“Yeah, I guess.”

“Hey wouldn’t it be hilarious if they hit each other at the same time and they BOTH got knocked out?!”

“Heh, yeah-”

“Holy shit.”

BECAUSE JUST THEN THEY BOTH HIT EACH OTHER AND GET KNOCKED OUT.

Well, I mean, they weren’t out, I guess, they took the whole “ten” seconds to get back up, and I swear, when it showed them grabbing the ropes and using them to climb back up it was like the ring had 20 ropes for them to climb. We died.

Anyway, SPOILER ALERT:

Rocky wins. Yells ‘Yo, Adrian!’ into the mic. Roll credits.
