[@hottrakz]

I think Joe frazier's history here in Philadelphia means a whole lot more. An actual real boxer slash champion of the world and great human being.

[@Trent_439]

Along with Frazier, literally right across the bridge in Camden, New Jersey was where " Jersey Joe Walcott" was from the Heavyweight Champ. Had 71 pro bouts with a record of 51 wins 18 losses and 2 draws. Was the oldest man to be Heavyweigjt champ at 37 years old at the time but than lost to Rocky Marciano...a real Italian-American boxer lol

[@inkedbeardsman]

@Trent_439 the real Italian stallion!! Thanks for mentioning!! Enjoy learning more!!!

[@buckbuck9225]

Me and my sisters walked down that brick street millions of time

[@inkedbeardsman]

@buckbuck9225 definitely an interesting area!!!

[@lynsincetheeggs5174]

I played on that street with my cousin many times as a kid.

[@Chapin-eg3nm]

Philly nowadays.....so sad.

[@inkedbeardsman]

Yes, so different today. I have said it before, probably the most dangerous area I have visited (and I have filmed in some rough areas). Thx for watching!! Chris

[@adamNDkipker]

I've been to that area in Philadelphia. It's definitely a dump

[@inkedbeardsman]

Definitely a rough area for sure. Thanks for watching!! Chris

Mickey always got mad at Rocky because Rocky was always a leg breaker for some cheap second rate loan shark.

[@inkedbeardsman]

@@hectorlopez1069 hahaha, well played!! So true. Lol

[@buckbuck9225]

Ok it's me again When you are doing your lucky 7 clip. The bridge in the picture from the movie is not that bridge. The old one was an arch. That's the newer one. I lived right there.

[@inkedbeardsman]

Very interesting to know, it looks so similar, didn't realize they replaced Thanks for mentioning!!!

[@davefilms345]

Kensington is an absolute shit hole, i visited these locations way back in 2009, but I'd never go back there again. I loved seeing the locations, and im glad i done it, but my god, what rough area

[@inkedbeardsman]

Yes, it was a rough area. Nothing normally bothers me and I will go to any area..BUT...this was different. Ti's was the most dangerous area I had been to (and I filmed 8 mile Detroit, south Chicago, skid row l.a.) ...Kensington was the worse. Glad I filmed it but probably wouldn't go back.

[@None-bd2rp]

Rocky wasn't real he never had a fight in his life fictional character stop what about the real fighters that laid there life on the line

[@inkedbeardsman]

Thanks so much for watching the video!! Peace, Chris

[@ChristsGospel-r5h]

Christian family, let us focus, on believing and proclaiming, the gospel, unto our eternal salvation. We must believe, how, Christ died for our sins, he was buried and he rose again the third day, amen. 1 Corinthians 15 3:4 Maranatha.🎉❤

Not much has changed… still…. Run down

[@inkedbeardsman]

@johnnyg5957 yes, not the best areas. Thx for watching!!

[@1airdrummer]

Stallone is dead to me. He beat the Russian in the movies but now he's a Fascist supporter.

[@inkedbeardsman]

Appreciate you checking out the video!! Yes, I think that surprised alot of people. Peace, Chris

[@buckbuck9225]

You didn't mention that rocky place interior is 3 story's.

[@inkedbeardsman]

@buckbuck9225 yes, you are correct, hope to do another video with more locations at some point. Thx!!!

[@LoveHiKING76]

You were on the wrong side of the railroad tracks they pulled up on Tusculum st on the other side when he says about breaking his thumbs

[@inkedbeardsman]

Yes, he was facing the other way. Apologize for the confusion - was facing the other way - same location, shot from other angle. Thanks for mentioning!!!

[@XxSpPhiLLyxX31]

It wasn’t his apartment. Only the exterior shots were done there the apartment was shot in Los Angeles.

[@inkedbeardsman]

@XxSpPhiLLyxX31 yes, the interiors of the apartment were shot at a flop house in Los Angeles. I thought i mentioned that in video. Appreciate you watching!!!!
