RIP Carl Weathers an absolute legend.

[@Falconesports2025]

Rip Carl Weathers 🥊🥊

[@andrewmccoy831]

You are not forgotten, Apollo. Never.

[@DrMantisTobagganMD]

Rummy, I grew up seeing Apollo and Rocky as examples of how one can overcome and evolve in life. Thank you for honoring Apollo Creed.

[@AcrylicGoblin]

That pretty well sums up what I wanted to say. Very well done Rummy.

[@foolishmortal299]

I never realized how much I appreciated Apollo Creed until Carl Weather died... Now that you mention it, my fav part was always when he tried to jump out of his wheelchair to fight Rocky, while he was in HIS wheelchair.

[@combatshox]

@jasonvoorhees5640 explain yor comment .

[@ebonyroundass]

Ngannou Fury story looks way similar with this one :)

[@davidantony2734]

This is a great comment. These characters: Rocky, Apollo, Tony, Mickey positively influenced a lot of young men.

[@honoursplace3291]

I love that thi video treats Creed as a real boxing champion. Weathers was an inspiration to many!

[@RationalSavage]

So good, especially for all of us who love the Rocky series. Amazing!

[@emirlsanchos6302]

Carl Weathers did play football prior to acting so he already had that natural athletic aura which lends the character of Creed some authenticity.

[@khalid969]

That was a nice tribute. I expected nothing less of you!

[@RummysCorner]

Thank you very much. Cheers!

[@zootsoot2006]

The first Rocky movie is a masterpiece.

[@1MillionSubscribers2025]

@jasonvoorhees5640 That’s true, even though you can get a just as dangerous fight in wwe if they really want to put the hurt on the opponent. What happens is in boxing you can’t sign off on the floor, if the boxers doesn’t put on the fight for their life the fans will be angry and the lose credibility and get a hard time fighting credible opponents. 12 round war and somebody gets knocked out in the last second makes everybody happy.

[@fuzzyfishnutz4838]

My oldest brother Mike passed away four years ago at 49 from Alzheimer’s. He lived his life with Down Syndrome and was kind to everyone he met. The Rocky movie series was arguably his favorite, and I have many fond memories of watching these with him. He’ll always be the greatest person I’ll ever know and I miss him tremendously. Just wanted to say thanks Rummy for this awesome tribute to Carl Weathers. You’re channel is top notch and you put your heart into it. RIP Carl and my brother Mike. God bless.

[@CNotez-uo8kp]

RIP to both of them. Those sound like some great memories right there.

[@jmarcguy]

I remember heated discussions of how Apollo would do against Clubber Lang. Real talk about a fictional character. RIP❤

[@carljordan9346]

Apollo’s movement would have been too much for Clubber. Having if said that if Clubber tagged him, it could be a knock out in Clubbers’s favour

[@michaeljamesmccabe]

Apollo Creed is such a great character because of Carl Weathers. He really embodies the physicality and personality. Legendary performance. RIP.

[@samlesueur]

I can’t remember ever being this sad about a celebrity passing. Carl was more than just an actor, he was a huge part of my childhood and I take the lessons from Rocky and creed into my everyday life.

[@jeepamir508]

From anti-hero, to a villian, to one of the greatest heroes on the screen ever. Carl Weathers created an all-time great character. And we are eternally grateful. RIP, champ.

[@averykeeling1167]

I was not expecting a Rummy’s corner upload at 3 am but I’m here for it!

[@draven2104]

Dont Stop Here Rummy Might As Well Do The Entire Rocky Franchise Now, I Will Definitely Tune In 👌 Grew Up With This & What Made Me A Fan Of Boxing ! RIP Carl " Apollo " Always Respect & Quality Rummy !

[@BiteMaaBagpipe]

Think he did a Rocky Retrospective about 5 years ago if you’re interested.

[@rakin7250]

Rip Carl Weathers. A legend

[@mlb5525]

The perfect synopsis of the first 3 Rocky movies and the Apollo Creed character, plus a heartwarming tribute to Carl Weathers. Thanks Rummy.

[@rubenperez3882]

Kudos to Rummy for devoting a video to a man who portrayed an all-time great movie character who instilled life & flavor into the Rocky series! Thanks Rum!

[@Bevzthejcs]

I still get goosebumps watching the Rocky movies. This is a a brilliant video, huge respect to Carl for creating such an unforgettable character.

[@cochiseholland2913]

Rest in power, Apollo Creed❤️

[@justj2440]

The fact that you made a breakdown video of the Apollo Creed fights as if they were real life bouts is ridiculously fun & I can't think of a better tribute to the man who brought his A-game to every role. RIP Dillon, Jericho, and the Dancing Destroyer 🙏

[@isaiahr3111]

Great tribute to a legend. Rocky 3 was the start of my love for boxing too. R.I.P. Carl Weathers

[@Diecastclassicist]

Thank you for making this video, Rummy, you’re not the only one who will miss Apollo.

[@dacoolman6837]

I learned a lot from those Rocky movies about grit and character, about showing up and showing off (smile). Thanks for a memorable role Mr. Weathers, and thanks Rummy for a nice stroll down memory lane.

[@vinylrulesok8470]

Thanks Rummy for this great video. In 1979 when i was 13 I went to the cinema to see the movie 1941 but went to the wrong theatre, where Rocky 2 was playing. I never looked back. Weathers was great and brought so much personality and charisma to the part of Apollo. RIP Carl

[@michaelterango3074]

I think one of the reasons the film was so good was that Carl Weathers was so believable in the part. he really was a pro athlete.

[@davidbrokend]

I'm 42 and grew up in 80s and 90s these films are embedded in my soul. Makes me wanna go watch rocky 4 again

[@williamj.dovejr.8613]

Apollo Creed is the catalyst for the Rocky legend. Without Creed, he would not reach for more, more love, more respect and to go the distance, to have a family and so on.

[@wayneevans5298]

There is no Tomorrow. R.I.P CARL.🙏🏾🕊✨️

[@foreveragain5500]

RIP Carl Weathers, thanks Rummy! Well done as always!

[@NuTonesForever]

Rummy, that was just a terrific tribute really well done. Thanks very much.

[@lostferwords5650]

This was an amazing tribute to the character Apollo Creed , "The King of Sting," “The Dancing Destroyer," "The Prince of Punch," "The Count of Monte Fisto", "The Master of Disaster." played by the great powerhouse Carl Weathers RIP

[@Ray-M59]

RIP Carl and Apollo

[@CountofMonteFi3t0]

Fantastic you did this Rummy. The rocky films mean so much to boxing fans around the world. RIP Carl APOLLO CREED Weathers 🙏

[@Paul-d5l5s]

A lovely tribute, Carl Weathers was one of the best. RIP❤

[@dagony7383]

Carl weathers was the other half of what made the first two ROCKY movies such classics!

[@AaronDolan-s9z]

Carl Weathers is an American Hero. Thanks for doing this Rummy, love your channel.

[@Dracbrewer]

OMG Rummy can I hit the like button 833 more times, This for me was your Greatest Video! You are Not alone Sir. The Same thing happened for me as a child. I saw Rocky III and was hooked. Then I watched Roberto Duran and Marvin Hagler Duke it out and then watched Mike Tyson's Prime Reign supreme for a few years! Carl Weathers RIP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Apollo Creed is Legendary and a Hero!!!! Thank YOU so much Rummy!!!!!!!!!

[@Bramblebush7]

Thanks for all the memories Carl, and may you rest in peace. Beautiful summary

[@Mma-basement-215]

Rip Carl Weathers 🙏❤.. Rummy this was awesome great job thank you for doing this ... Rocky and Apollo it doesn't get any better

[@duncaninglis5407]

This video is a beauty Rummy thanks mate. God Bless Carl Weathers a brilliant actor who bought such joy to us young lads of the 80s, a life well lived Thank You & RIP

[@roelandblok860]

"Dammit Rock! There is no tomorow!" R.I.P Carl Weathers.

[@Iamthestrang]

Wow Rummy Wow. What a lovely tribute. Very very well done. The old King of the Sting will always have a place in the heart of those of us who lived it in the 80's growing up.

[@Me3stR]

Carl Weathers was one of those folks whose name I knew, but I didnt realize how much of a part of my life he was until news broke of his passing. All I was, was a consumer of some of his content - but that content was pivotal in my own upbringing as well. I feel real emotion knowing that he's gone. This is a good video showcasing his most memorable roles. Thanks Rummy!

[@zelot2686]

Apollo was the most charismatic and hounorable character in the rocky franchise and will stay a love of mine. Carl weathers, the Sun lost some sunlight when you passed.

[@salvitoripopadillo4539]

The phrase, "It's All in the hips" helped me with dancing... and more intimate acts! 😁 I never got into golf.

[@g.benson8477]

I hope Mr. Weathers is looking down and smiling on how elegant and touching of a tribute u produced. No other actor could have brought the charisma, energy, or depth. Carl Weathers's portrayal of Apollo Creed is the perfect example of bringing a character to life and because of that, Apollo Creed will be forever memorialized as one of the great boxing heroes in the history of cinema.

[@falx94]

Really appreciate that this video was set up talking about Creed through the lens of reviewing a real boxer instead of a movie character. The Rocky series is one of my favorites and furthered my love for boxing, and I was gutted to hear that Carl had passed. Great tribute!

[@Fathervinyard]

right thats it im binge watching the rockys again for the whatever number of time

[@ManuelCruz-o5l]

Great video Rummy. I love this tribute to Carl Weathers during his portrayal of Apollo Creed. R.I.P Carl.

[@chriscolton6329]

RIP, Carl Weathers. Thankyou for all the wonderful memories you gave us. He was perfectly cast for the part, wasn't he? ❤

[@MrGenXer]

My family and I went to see Rocky III while on summer vacation at the beach when I was about 12. That was summer of '82. I thought it was the greatest film ever. You are right about Carl making that role come to life. He took it beyond the antagonist and into heart and soul of the whole Rocky saga. Great tribute here, Rum.

[@fireatwill7707]

A+ what an incredible video. This is what KZbin should be about. So so good. Thank you.

[@hendrikfriehmelt-nf8hl]

Rummy, i always enjoy your narrations, but you summing up apollos story as if it was wasnt fictional was super capturing. bravo!

[@McBoggler]

The Rocky films also got me into boxing. I have very fond memories of watching them as a child with my dad. RIP Carl Weathers!

[@clarkparker4860]

This was fantastic! I haven't seen a so well put together tribute on any other media outlet.

[@ronmailloux8655]

I recall the days of Carl Weathers playing with the C.F.L. B.C. Lions early 1970s . He was very charismatic and stand alone confident . When I watched the first Rocky and Apollo Creed it was no surprise .

[@nedzmtb127]

Great tribute. RIP Carl.🥊🥊

[@HalDanGhor]

@Rummy's Corner I always thought that "Eye of the Tiger" meant having no fear. In both Rocky 1 and Rocky 2, Apollo was fighting his fears. His first sign of fear appeared once he was sent to the canvas in round #1 of the first fight. The whole rematch stuff including the rematch itself allowed us to see the best version of Apollo, BUT he was still fighting his fears. i mean, instead of listening to his corner before the 30th and final round, he preferred gambling than playing it safe. He wanted to close the show because he feared being ridiculized by the media or at least in his own mind for not getting the stoppage against Rocky, especially after being prepared that perfectly... In Rocky 3, Rocky's fears is what made him lose the first fight vs Clubber Lang. He was not there mentally... In the rematch vs Lang, he was ready for anything mentally. He didn't have any fear and that's EXACTLY what INTIMIDATED Clubber Lang, causing him to do too much and ultimately get gassed while Rocky was recharging, but yeah in the hell of a fight. Any thoughts?

[@calledoutone]

Rest in Power Legend!

[@juliancrowe9754]

Rocky 3 was a massive part of my life too got me heavily into boxing ...RIP Carl weathers. ....CROWEMAN UK boxing fans

[@obiukueku9044]

Loved every bit of your tribute video to the one and only Apollo Creed(Carl wheathers) His character will forever remain and inspiration to many for generations to come. 💪🏾 🥊

[@arthurballs9632]

"Hey baby, do the magic hand thing." - Apollo Creed

[@stuartfilby2358]

Great tribute. Rocky 2 was my introduction to boxing in a similar way to you. Even today, the way Apollo fights is the way i secretly believe all boxers should fight. He had a great 1-2. My younger self took years to re-watch Rocky IV after the first viewing because i was so traumatised by Apollo's death. Worse than when Goose died! RIP Apollo. As an aside, glad you mentioned Rocky learning to swim in what must be a week. Classic 80s nonsense that we just accepted because it was the 80s. Good times.

[@imaguy123]

Thanks for such an amazing video! The Rocky movies were honestly ife changing for me. They had a level of guidance, wisdom, and life lessons that helped me time and time again over the years. Catch you on the other side Apollo!

[@claydogmadman7843]

What a great tribute Mr. Rummy... That was spot on...

[@B.O.L.A]

Hey great summary and narration 🦾

[@skeelo69]

Geoffrey... your narration was fantastic.... great tribute...Rest in peace Carl.

[@guitaroso]

My Dad did a comicon with him once - said he was an awesome dude who made heaps of time for his fans

[@anthonymadden9322]

Thumbs up before I watch. I grew up with this series. Beautifully written - Perfectly portrayed .

[@imaguy123]

I love how you broke down the fights like they actually happened!!

[@jaym4361]

I literally want a creed/rocky prequel showing apollos' beginnings, and his journey to the title! That would be amazing!!

[@senseibenjamin]

This was amazing work. Your passion for the sport really does well, the way you break down some fight commentary makes me think you'd make a great coach. I had over 50 fights in the amateurs so I know you definitely care and are knowledgeable about the sport.

[@GIBBO4182]

The first 4 Rocky movies is some of the best cinema in my life…doesn’t happen without Apollo Creed, and Carl Weathers! RIP

[@billybob9961]

My mom and dad went to the movies and saw Rocky. They came home, picked me and my brothers up and took us to the movie theater to see Rocky the same day it was so inspiring.

[@JWS1985]

The Count of Monte Fisto is his best nickname! 🥊

[@eddiemanni8605]

Bro this was a video I didn’t know I needed. Simply amazing great job brother!

[@salvitoripopadillo4539]

I just watched "Creed II" with my son. They don't live up to the Rocky films but they are what they are. Thank you for recognizing the Great Carl Weathers! He actually had a small role in Close Encounters of the Third Kind!

[@hedgehog1965uk]

Yes, military police officer.

[@williamj.dovejr.8613]

We were spoiled for good.. Rocky, Apollo, Conan, Bloodsport, and more. The loss of Carl Weathers is still fresh. The giants are leaving us.

[@glennswart1487]

How brilliant to review the late Carl Weather's character in the Rocky franchise as if it were a real saga!

[@nameuser4406]

Well done! I relived the movies, and my life! One of my fav action heroes growing up. Thank you!

[@devinedude3690]

Super enjoyable watch... Many thanks Rummy

[@joeywampler298]

Rummys Corner, you are the best!!! I never knew I needed a fight by fight review of the Rocky/Creed fights by a boxing expert until today. Thank you very much! RIP Carl Weathers/Apollo Creed!

[@johnmichaelson9173]

That's a fantastic tribute I really enjoyed it. Watching the Rocky films over here in the UK was just as magical as was for you & everything you said I can relate to. Thank you Rummy. RIP Carl Weathers & thank you for all the joy you have us through your movies.

[@Fresnophil]

Rummy you are absolutely the man, I really needed this video ❤thank you so much brotha! RIP Carl! Apollo will live forever

[@alexnumber1317]

What a tribute that was, absolutely fantastic. Biggest thumbs up ever here ❤

[@MarvR0914]

Great job on this piece. Well put together, and tastefully done. Thank you.

[@caincotterill5493]

Yessss a video on the King Of Sting. Cheers Rummy as always🇬🇧👊🏼

[@Joseph-u6y1h]

That was a beautiful piece Rummy, thanks man🙏👊

[@dr.mofongo9001]

I had the the Rocky films on VHS as a kid, and wore them out from how many times I watched them. Fell in love with the franchise and been a huge fan ever since. Like Rummy, I too had a soft spot for Rocky III, as it played a huge role in me getting into boxing as well. Weathers was perfect in the role of Apollo Creed, and in my opinion the films don’t become what they did without him and his masterful portrayal. His character taught me several life lessons that stuck with me. RIP champ 🥊❤

[@shropsiberian]

Thank you for making this tribute video. I was kinda hoping you would & it turns out that your road into real boxing started in the same place, although Rocky 2 was the first I saw. It was an incredible story & Carl's part in this was monumental. He was a great actor & a character that we could all believe in & draw close to. Rest in peace Carl, the final bell has sounded.

[@stevesibley6570]

You make the best videos of all time, your voice is very gripping and yet soothing at the same time… keep making your awesome videos, I love them !
