Creed's swansong was always going to end badly, but Drago is far too doped up with steroids to shed any tears. As he philosphically declaims in an accent with all the warmth and personality of the KGB's speaking clock, "If he dies, he dies".

Poor Apollo Creed, He should've kicked Ivan's butt with a knockout while he had the chance!
Comment 2 by 'mikko' (reply to this comment)
LOL, what do you mean? Apollo never stood a chance. 20 blows from Apollo didn“t match a single one from Drago. He was never able to punch hard enough to overcome even Rocky, let alone a steroid machine.
Comment 3 by 'Matt' (reply to this comment)
Yeah, particularly as a punch from Drago is apparently more powerful than most handguns (!).
Comment 4 by 'AJ' (reply to this comment)
Drago couldn't punch hard enough to knock out Rocky. Apollo's style was just wrong for fighting Drago, he'd have kicked Clubber Lang's butt though.
