Question: did rocky beat apollo creed in rocky 1

Answer: No, After the fight, the sportscasters and the audience go wild. Jergens announces over the loudspeaker that the fight was ``the greatest exhibition of guts and stamina in the history of the ring'', and Rocky calls out repeatedly for Adrian, who runs down and comes into the ring as Paulie distracts arena security. As Jergens declares Creed the winner by virtue of a split decision (8:7, 7:8, 9:6), Adrian and Rocky embrace and profess their love to each other, not caring about the result of the fight.
