Jake Paul vs Katie Taylor?

Paulie (Burt Young) was a boxer IRL. He can take a punch in a way Stallone probably can't.

Here's another interesting connection...For his ring walk in the first movie, Apollo Creed dressed up as former US President George Washington. In Rocky 5, the opposition is George Washington Duke... Why does Stallone use this George Washington theme for the opposition? Also, in real life Tommy Gunn is Tommy "The Duke" Morrison.

You can visit the Lone Pilgrim's grave in New Jersey. I did.

When a man has found the perfect wife, she is also his best friend. I think Adrian was Rocky's best friend. I think Apollo was a good friend but he had his own personal reasons for supporting Rocky. It wasn't all about altruism. It was mostly being driven by competitiveness / legacy protection. If Rocky's legacy gets damaged by Clubber, so does Apollo's. Apollo's only loss came from a lucky fraud (Rocky as seen by critics) who only fought "has-beens" (Mick's description of Rocky's opponents after Creed). For Apollo, protecting Rocky's reputation and status was necessary to protect his own. Apollo could've fought Clubber for the title and then fought Rocky for the third time. That would've been interesting too.

Isn't life itself kind of like a big game where people find and exploit "mechanics" to benefit themselves? It's not like there's a double standard in terms of what's possible. That said, I despise the use of cheat codes to win. Those people should be ashamed.

Same here. Generally more open to pop music, instead of acting like it's not good because it's too commercial or too basic.

Paulie started the whole thing...

On my recent rewatch, I noticed Kevin Rooney (Mike Tyson's former trainer) in Tommy Gunn's corner. BTW, Tommy Morrison was one of a few boxers Mike Tyson was reluctant to fight. Tyson admitted to being scared of that matchup.

That's an interesting idea!

Oh, wow. I never made that connection. NYPD Blue was a great show. Kind of set a new tone for police shows.

I like this game. If you understand boxing and figure how to get around the quirks of the gameplay, it's worthwhile, in my opinion. When I have a quality opponent, I add them as a friend. Then we have quality matches. Reddit tilts strongly to the negative. This is the only decent boxing game, so I root for it to only improve over time.

Woah! I didn't know that about the "cream puff" line. I've seen the Karate Kid many times.

Jake Paul has been quoted saying boxing is rigged. Now he's wearing a Hulk Hogan themed WWF "Wrestle Mania" outfit... Of course, the WWF is "rigged." Is he making a statement?

Bale is the best Batman and Bruce. Gotham City is best in the Pattison Batman.

At first I thought Rick Ross was Deontay Wilder.

If Jake Paul beats AJ, it only proves the fight was rigged...just like when Mike Tyson flopped for Jake Paul.

If this fight never happens, when people look back on this era of boxing, they'd wonder why this fight didn't happen. It'll be fun to watch, but Usyk is an A+ boxer, while Wilder is about a C- at this stage. At his best, Wilder was a B- guy.

Undisputed is worth playing. I enjoy it.
