THE LAST ROUND OF ROCKY: SYLVESTER STALLONE TELLS YOU GOODBYE

Rocky Balboa is not any fictional character, he is an icon of popular culture, cinema and boxing (so much so that he was included in the pugilism hall of fame, without being a real boxer). Not for nothing, his first film, from 1976, won the Oscar for best film of that year.

From that first film, the Rocky franchise turned almost all of its films into classics. Who can forget, for example, the death of Apollo Creed, the strong training of the Italian Stallion and his epic revenge fight against the Russian giant Ivan Drago in 'Rocky IV'?
Not everything was good, of course, and there were films that had worse reception, such as 'Rocky V' or even 'Rocky Balboa', but the truth is that the iconic character of Sylvester Stallone got into the hearts of people, both That is how they built a statue in Philadelphia, where most of the films are developed, where the fictional boxer was born and lives, which all lovers of the series see as very real.

Everything has its end…

Rocky has been with us for 42 years and 8 movies, not all of them starring him. But unfortunately, as Héctor Lavoe said, "everything comes to an end, nothing lasts forever", and the end time of the Italian Stallion must come sooner or later.

Many of us thought that we would not know more about him after 'Rocky V', but it was not going to be a good start for a character of that caliber, he did not honor his name and did not allow him to go out the big door that required his immense history. Many years later 'Rocky Balboa' seemed the farewell letter of the Italian Stallion, who, with 16 years of retirement on top, gave his last fight, showing that he could still hit hard and embarrass even the young and undefeated champion of the moment, Mason Dixon.

From Rocky to Creed ... the show must continue

But then Adonis, the son of Apollo, appeared and took Rocky out of retirement once more, but not for the day, but also for him to train him and be in his corner. Adonis (Michael B. Jordan) proved that he has the soul, heart, character and tiger's eye to take Rocky's gloves and continue with the legacy.

This was noticed by Sylvester Stallone, who published an emotional video, which was recorded at the end of the filming of 'Creed II', on his Instagram account, and which tells Jordan precisely: "I can not be happier when I take a step" back because my story has been told, there is a whole new world that opens up to the audience, to this generation. Now you [Michael B. Jordan] have to carry the legacy. "
