The character was eventually canonically named Tony "Duke" Evers, thus Weathers' flub came in handy in _Rocky V,_ where they introduce another character named Duke, and refer to the original Duke as Tony to avoid confusion.

I finally realized something while watching this reaction. Mick wasn't just training Rocky to fight as a right-handed boxer to trick Apollo.

Apollo didn't have a recording of the crowd cheering. That was in his head. He's hearing the crowd cheering him if he beats Rocky. That they'll love him if he wins. That's what drives him. The love of the crowd. Which is why the negative comments hurt him so bad.

[@rexracer3221]

Good Reaction :^) ... Apollo wasn't pacing himself and Rocky is the only fighter to force him to go the full 15 rounds (2x).

Did you notice that Apollo's trainer (Tony) had tears in his eyes when he was yelling for Apollo to stay away from Rocky? Tony had never underestimated Rocky.

[@paulieluppino1856]

3:08 ...."What's gotten into him all the sudden, that now he wants that rematch?".... Plot tool.... When they made the first movie, they didn't know if there was going to be of any success, so they had to close the story as much as humanly possible.... When the sequel were green lighted, as any sequel, it inevitability came with some inconsistencies (like Apollo suddenly changing his mind, or Rocky spending all his money like there were no tomorrow) With that been said, Apollo changing his mind it's not that crazy, considering that he was exhausted when he said "there will be no rematch". Now that's a bit rested, he change his mind (I believe because of his pride). It's odd that it happens in the same night, but it's not entirely inconceivable (I keep using that word. I don't think it means what I think it means).......

I always liked the " I won, but I didn't beat him" comment from Apollo. He knew if there had been one more round, he would have lost!

It's not an inconsistency for Rocky to waste his money. That happens quite often with athletes who get $20 million contracts, then buy $5 million mansions, race horses, and other expensive luxury items. Just one lucrative contract should set you and your family for life. It's happened sometimes to lottery winners, too. They go nuts buying stuff before the money comes in, and end up losing everything in court decisions.
