Contents Role in the series RockyApollo Creed first appeared in the -winning film as the charismatic, intelligent, and undefeated 33-year-old. A planned fight against number-one contender Mac Lee Green was scheduled for January 1, 1976, which Apollo gladly hypes whenever someone places a microphone in front of him. However, Green hurts his left hand in training, and when none of the other top-ranked contenders, such as Joe Czak and Buddy Shaw, step up to face the champion, Creed responds with a promotion that will generate huge publicity. He will offer an unknown local fighter an opportunity to battle for the title in a match in,.Upon reviewing the local boxers in Philadelphia, Creed is drawn to a club fighter named because Balboa is and has a catchy nickname, 'The Italian Stallion'.
Apollo also explains his choice by saying: 'Who discovered America?, right? What better way to celebrate its 200th birthday than to get it on with one of his descendants?' Apollo brushes off the idea of the left-handed Balboa giving him a fight, pledging to knock him out in three rounds.
In spite of his trainer's concern when he sees Balboa in a television interview, training by punching sides of beef in a meat-packing plant, Apollo puts more effort into giving everyone a good show rather than training for the bout. When the match takes place, Apollo dresses up like both and in the pre-fight festivities (with his matching trademark 'stars and stripes' boxing shorts) and is in a jovial mood until Rocky knocks him down in the first round with a single uppercut, the first time Creed has been knocked down in his career.
He then endures a gruelling 15-round fight with Balboa, who gets to his feet after Creed takes him down with an in the 14th round in what appears to be the end of the match. This was the first time anyone had ever taken the champion the full 15 rounds.Both fighters are beaten, bloodied, and bruised by the end of the bout - Rocky with severe eye damage and Apollo with internal bleeding. Apollo gains a controversial split decision victory, and neither fighter wants a rematch, at least at that moment.Rocky II, Creed immediately demands a rematch in the hospital ER after the fight. In fact, he challenges Rocky to finish the fight right there. Creed's desire for a rematch with Balboa intensifies when it becomes clear that the prevailing public opinion is that Creed had either gotten lucky or the judges were fixed in his favor. Eager to change minds and ignoring the pleas of his staff, Creed challenges Balboa to a second fight on, 1976.
He uses various humiliation tactics to coax Balboa out of retirement. Rocky had married his girlfriend Adrian after getting out of the hospital from the first fight. Creed insists at the press conference that he would 'drop him like a bad habit' and tells Rocky when he leaves, 'Come November, you're mine!' In a press interview during training, he also insists that Rocky 'cannot last five minutes in the ring with a superior athlete like me!' Creed plows through sparring partners and trains harder than ever before, with the intention of punishing Balboa for the embarrassment eleven months earlier. Trains Rocky to become faster by chasing and catching a chicken.Unlike their first fight, Creed dominates Balboa throughout the second fight, thwarting Rocky's strategy of fighting right-handed.
Despite this, he is unable to make good on his promise of an early knockout victory, as Rocky absorbs his punches. By the final round, Creed is well ahead on points; however, he also endures a substantial beating in later rounds, when it becomes apparent he cannot knock Balboa out, and Balboa begins landing his own punches on the tiring Creed.
Not wanting a repeat of the first fight (and ignoring the pleas of his trainers), he vows to knock Balboa out rather than taking the safer route by winning on points. At the beginning of the 15th round, he tells Rocky, 'You're going down', to which Rocky replies, 'No way'. After going toe-to-toe for much of the final round, Creed is knocked down by a left from Balboa, with Balboa falling down in exhaustion as well. Rocky gets up by the count of 9, but Creed is unable to pull himself up and is counted out, losing the match and the championship by knockout, his first professional loss.Apollo retires from boxing soon after.
Even though he has lost, he gains his respect from the crowd back since it feels that he fought and lost in a fair fight. The fight also results in Creed finally acknowledging Balboa's ability as a fighter, rather than seeing him as a fluke.Rocky III, Apollo (38 years old) appears at the first fight between, 23 years old, and Rocky Balboa, 34 years old, as a guest analyst, a match in which Lang defeats Rocky by KO in the second round. Before the match, the former champion Creed steps into the ring to greet the fighters. When he steps up to Lang, the latter slaps away Creed's hand and mockingly and rudely insists that he 'don't want no has-been in my corner'. He further says, 'You want to jump, Creed?
When Creed walks away, stunned at this rude display from the belligerent challenger, Lang laughs at him and calls him a 'chicken'. Following the match, Rocky's beloved manager Mickey dies. Determined in part to put the disrespectful brute in his place, Creed finds Rocky at Mickey's gym and they agree to have Apollo take over as Balboa’s manager. The pair travels to the 'Tough Gym' in, where Creed used to train in preparation for a rematch with Balboa. Creed encourages Rocky not to ignore the naysayers that say he is too old but instead refocus himself. During this talk, he states, 'Now when we fought.
You had that eye of the tiger.' This quote is referred to throughout the movie, including the film's theme song, '. Creed mentions that Rocky will owe him 'a big favor' once he wins, which he does not specify at first. Rocky's training is geared toward making him quicker and more agile to counter the larger, stronger brawler. Apollo teaches Rocky how to fight like Apollo Creed.
Rocky has trouble concentrating during his training, suffering from guilt over Mickey's demise and self-doubt. Adrian helps Rocky recognize this as a simple fear of losing again and convinces him that he can't let fear control his life and that he has to fight again, not to prove a point but to live without fear.
Rocky agrees and begins to put his fear aside. Creed helps Rocky rediscover the fire inside, which he had lost in the time leading up to the Lang fight, that had won him the title. Creed calls this fire the 'eye of the tiger'.Before the match begins, Creed expresses his confidence that Rocky will win. He gives Rocky his signature 'colors' (Apollo's boxing trunks) to wear during the fight (and tells him to wash them afterwards). Re-energized with Creed shadow-boxing in his corner, Rocky regains his title with a three-round knockout of Lang. After his victory, Creed reveals his favor - a third fight with Rocky (not as a bloody fight between bitter rivals, but as a sparring match between friends).

Rocky happily accepts the challenge. The film ends showing each boxer hitting the other at the same time, symbolizing the equality of their greatness. It is revealed in the 2015 film Creed by Rocky to Apollo's son, that Apollo won this fight, the result of which was kept secret until that time.Rocky IVIn 1985, Apollo (42 years old), comes out of a five-year retirement to fight mammoth Soviet Olympic boxer, who has come to the United States on behalf of the Soviet Union to enter the world of professional boxing. Not wanting the Soviets to appear superior to American fighters, the patriotic Apollo challenges Drago to an exhibition match and calls out Drago at the press conference that sets up their exhibition bout at the in on August 31, 1985.Highlighted by a pre-match rendition of ' by, Apollo enters the arena from a descending scaffold overhead, dancing to the music in his old red, white, and blue Uncle Sam outfit.

With Rocky, Duke, and Paulie in his corner, Apollo is overly confident that he can dispense of Drago with ease. However, Apollo is not ready for the extreme size and strength of the Russian. After taunting the Russian and landing a number of ineffectual punches, Creed is pummeled badly in the first round. Rocky wants to stop the fight but Apollo refuses.
Apollo tells Rocky not to stop the fight 'no matter what.no matter what!' By the start of the second round, Drago pummels Creed with ease. Rocky again tries to stop the fight by throwing in the towel. Apollo tells Rocky not to stop the fight, giving Drago a chance to deliver a fatal blow (as Rocky drops the towel causing the fight to stop) to Apollo, who dies in Rocky's arms in the middle of the ring. Drago wins by technical knockout.Rocky then sets out to avenge Apollo's death by beating Drago in the, with the and the looking on. He succeeds as the film ends with Rocky winning the fight by knockout in the last round.Rocky VWith his character's death, departed the franchise after. In, the fifth installment of the series, after Rocky Balboa defeated Ivan Drago, Apollo's trainer Duke congratulated Rocky by showing that he made everyone proud, especially for Apollo by holding up his red, white, and blue trunks.
Apollo was thereafter only mentioned briefly in past tenses, including a flashback scene between Mickey and Rocky before Balboa's first fight with Creed where Mickey states, 'Apollo won't know what hit him.' Rocky's pupil also claimed to have been a fan of Rocky since his first fight with Apollo. Tommy was eventually allowed to wear Creed's trunks. There was a poster of Apollo and Rocky during the events of in Rocky Jr's bedroom before the Balboas went bankrupt. During Tommy's fight with Union Cane, Rocky commented that it was like his own first fight with Apollo.
Later, during Rocky's street fight with Tommy, he began to hallucinate and saw images of Apollo's death at the hands of Drago, believing that he was about to suffer the same fate. However, a vision of Mickey telling him to get up gave Rocky the strength to win the street fight.Rocky BalboaIn the sixth installment of the Rocky franchise, Rocky is seen paying tribute to Apollo by telling customers at his restaurant stories about his friendship and fights with him. In a deleted scene when Rocky wakes up, Rocky sees Paulie sleeping and Rocky sees a photo of his first fight with Apollo but his face is censored and Rocky's face is covered by a scrap of paper with Paulie's head. During the commentary before the Rocky vs Mason Dixon fight, a montage of Rocky's opponents is shown which excludes his two fights against Apollo.CreedIn the 2015 spin-off, Adonis Johnson (Michael B. Jordan) never knew his famous father, boxing champion Apollo Creed, who died before Adonis was born.
However, boxing is in his blood, so he seeks out Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone) and asks the retired champ to be his trainer. Rocky sees much of Apollo in Adonis, and agrees to mentor him, even as he battles an opponent deadlier than any in the ring. With Rocky's help, Adonis soon gets a title shot, but whether he has the true heart of a fighter remains to be seen.Fighting style. See also:In the film series, Creed is known as one of the world's best fighters, possessing a combination of great speed and strength.
His powerful and emphasis on complement his flashy personality and outfit. In terms of weaknesses, his only major drawback appears to his deep sense of and strong self-confidence, which allows Rocky to get an edge over him in the ring from surprising Creed.Like Ali, Apollo was an outside fighter, relying on his speed and power to get through fights. His jab-cross-hook combination were his mainstay, and, also like Ali, Creed's defense was heavily contingent upon his speed. Apollo used Ali's 'float like a butterfly, sting like a bee' philosophy, being able to slip and evade blows and frustrate his opponents. A notable difference was that though Creed had Ali's unorthodox hand positioning, he ducked, bobbed and weaved in the classic style, as opposed to Ali who preferred to move backwards, in contradiction to boxing's basic tenets, but with success.
Perhaps the reason for this was that only Ali could be that unorthodox and look convincing; where most boxing instructors would tell you that you can't land a punch when you're retreating backwards, Ali did that too with regularity. Also unlike Ali, Apollo wasn't very political and had very little to say on social issues. In Rocky I, a reporter asked him if it mattered to him that he was fighting a white man on the most celebrated day in our country's history, to which Apollo replied, 'About as much as it matters to him that he's fighting a black man on the most celebrated day in our country's history.' Like Ali, Creed was susceptible to taking a lot of damage during fights because of the level at which he held his hands, a fact which ultimately proved to be his undoing. By the second film, his fancy wind up and punch with the other fist looked like it came from Sugar Ray Leonard.See also.References.
