And Apollo said he did not want a rematch.

Rating: 7/10 (7 March 2009)

Of course, I find it understandable that he wanted one and he had the quick turn around from the first movie. As soon as that fight was over the media started hounding him and he knew the only way to exorcise the demons as it were was to destroy Rocky in the ring. So basically, we have Rocky getting endorsement deals and some cash from the fight in the last movie not really wanting to fight again as Apollo did a real number on one of his eyes that he is almost blind in it. Unfortunately, Rocky is not to good with commercials and the money starts to run out quickly. Take also into account that Adrien is pregnant, however she is opposed to him getting into the ring as well. Well this and that happens and Rocky agrees to the rematch and Mickey is once again training the Italian Stallion. Mickey also has a strategy, to protect the bad eye from further damage and to throw Apollo off his game he is going to make Rocky fight right handed, then when the timing is right let him revert back to being left handed to really throw Apollo. More stuff happens including the birth of Rocky's son and a close call with Adrien and then the fight is on. The fight is not quite as realistic as the first one as this time Apollo was prepared and he was the heavy weight champion of the world. He really should have leveled Rocky...however, that would not have made good cinema and the ending was pretty tense there for a bit.
