NO NO NO...When he slipped in the movie, it was a slip. They werent referencing slipping the jab...lol

[@jrgalioto]

A "slip" is a type of evasive head movement. "Slipping the jab," is a thing. it is essentially headmovment to your right if you are facing an orthodox stance. It sets up your right hand to counter.

Thanks for a great episode as always. I haven't seen the director's cut before so I appreciate the comparisons. One thing I'd like to get your opinions on is the....how do I say this.... the pattern in these movies of having a boxer: 1. withholding his punch until his corner man yells something to him, or 2. being in trouble, then suddenly flipping it around and landing some great shots at his opponent, when his corner man yells at him. Because it's not just Drago. Rocky does this, I think in all his fights. Apollo does it once or twice against Rocky. Even Clubber does it against Rocky. I guess it's done to show the importance of the trainer? But I've always found it weird. Why would a boxer, currently being pummelled, suddenly find the strength and forget all pain, just because his trainer yells at him? It doesn't make sense and it almost makes the boxers seem robotic, like they're voice operated boxing droids. I don't know. What do you guys think?

This is supposed to be an exhibition! As I grow older, the more I believe that Apollo wanted to die in the ring. Maybe because he didn't want to grow old or didn't know what to do with himself in retirement. Pretty quickly a fighter of Apollo's caliber would have known this was a losing battle. If he wanted to live he had plenty of time to make that choice, unless Drago had already destroyed Apollo's mental faculties in the first round alone.

"Creed is over the hill and the Russian hasn't fought anybody." Whoever Drago fought prior to the bout with Apollo hadn't been anyone of significance. Tomato cans. 😂 Also, I was puzzled by Sly's choice to cut out the slip by Creed but keep the audio in. In the theatrical, he slips moving around the ring as a sign of 'ring rust' because he hadn't fought in 5 years and we see it. He should've kept it in the director's cut because it still stood that Apollo was out of action for 5 years. Even though he says he felt 'born again', he was still rusty and that's just the showmanship/cockiness that Apollo had.

Your attention to detail is amazing 😃

Hes an amatuer champion

One of the worst monologues in film history. The Russian crowd and leader reaction was so cringe, it transcended the boundary into beauty.

Yeah. We didn’t cover the monologue in this episode ! Hope you’ll give it watch :) we look forward to covering it later this season
