 Written by Old Bluffer 2nd Jun 2005 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". 3 categories : One on One, Sport, Martial Arts Other Death Reviews for Rocky IV (1985)Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers)Last Updated: 2nd Jun 2008 Number of views for this review since 30th May 2008: 296 This review has 4 comments.

Poor Apollo Creed, He should've kicked Ivan's butt with a knockout while he had the chance!
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.
Yeah, particularly as a punch from Drago is apparently more powerful than most handguns (!).
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.
