please do the rest of the movies, even Creed, I'd really appreciate it ^^

He never does any sparring though

The duck walk and jumping squats is really old school. I did it with my martial arts training.

I hit my bag without gloves alot. It helped me learn to keep my wrist straight, made my knuckles more durable, and I think just improved my technique overal. I can't practice uppercuts like that for obvious reasons. I just miss the bag with those when I don't have gloves

@@Leadfoot_P71 he does. On and off screen. One movie they made a big deal about how his neck was to fucked up for sparring

I don’t recall Rocky eating in any of the movies, not counting creed lol

@@sinclairj7492 Rocky 5 - Adrian makes a mean pasketti!

@@narybwahs823 ☝🏽you’re absolutely right.

Thank you! This is something that gets missed a lot when people know about Rocky through cultural osmosis and the sequels instead of the source material. The original egg drinking scene is disgusting - intentionally so - with raw yolk running down his chin and stuff. It's not supposed to be cool or anything. It's clearly supposed to show how poor and dead-end the character is.

What if he gets a disease tho

i suspect Bruce Lee wouldve loved Rocky had he been alive in '76 and seen it then

🔥🔥🔥

@@postersandstuff Rocky was a love story. That's why it won Picture of the Year at the Oscars.

He made a lot on the back end of Rocky but had zero ownership of the franchise. The first movie he made around $35,000.

And it didn't work. He failed, and became a nobody. I don't know who Sylvester Stallone is, and I've never even heard of Rocky. Rocky Balboa the underdog boxer? Who?

Yeah they work, but only because Joe's body was already conditioned on that time. Just like in martial arts, it's not wise to order a beginner fighter to break 10 tough and broad wooden tables in his first day of training. It takes time and master the easier conditioning exercises like knuckle push ups, knuckle plank, go around the training center only using knuckles (plank position), hit the heavy bag, etc

@@rolandopovis6187 Rocky wasn’t a beginner in boxing

@@rolandopovis6187 rocky at that moment is a veteran boxer having more than 40 professional fights, so, he wasn't a Rookie.

Yeah..but using heavy bags works better and safer! Though punching meats looks cool and symbolic.

Yes, i agree with you. They work in the sense that they will train certain muscles and movements. They question is: Are these really the best workout before a boxing match. I think in that sense those methods are rather ineffective.

he's a bit like Joe Joyce lol

I think the real Rocky was also a bit like that

Actually he does use head movement, he just moves into the punch. Face to fist style

Dave Allen was his technical coach

@@therealslimshady6763 ROCKY Marciano coach Charlie Gold was a boxing genius. Top notch . Respected by everyone. He really refined the Rock. Taught him head movement body foot movement. Peep how he knocked out Jersey Joe. I belive the sequence was back foot nice double jab which caught air but to rapidly cut distance, movement, next sequence iconic knock out. Zero luck 100 percent intelligence perseverance and athleticism. Would Rocky be 50 and 0 vs all time greats. Hell no. Is he still in the upper echelon of greats, Hell yeah. SIDE NOTE. Charlie Gold fought at the turn of the century pretty good. And his mentor was the great Terry Terribe McGovern. Pound for Pound one of the most brutal punch ers of all time. In my strong opinion when he knocked out the great Joe Gans, that was 100 percent legit,and I'm blacks . Like all the great Sam Langford Joe Louis that fn power travels through time and into your face . Yeah to the Rock has direct lineage to that old Irish great. Like Roberto Duran had direct lineage to Benny Leonard and so on So please do your self a favor, it will expand your boxing knowledge study up on Rocky Marciano. As shakur stevenson said DUDE had the skills to pay the bills. Hell study up on all Rocky from Graziano to Martinez. Not Balboa, great drama and inspiration fight scenes nil. Raging Bull is the Gold standard Robert Deniro firing off rapid fire rib breaking upper cuts get me hard . Ha ha peace in the middle east sanity from Ukraine 🇺🇦 to the slums of Spain 🇪🇸

@George Burnett Every eastern european boxer uses some variation of the soviet style...Its what we've been taught from day 1...But the term "soviet style" fits a very broad spectrum...Bivol, Beterbiev, Ggg and Usyk were all trained under the soviet system and while they have common elements they ended up utilizing the style differently...Bivol is probably the best example of the original soviet style tho...Distance, control, jab, in and out movement, high guard etc...

@George Burnettthey defend themselves by being in and out, using their legs as a defence, go in punch and then go out of distance, thats soviet boxing

@George Burnett He uses his feet to stay just out of range plus his punch selection is mostly straight punches,meaning he can fire from distance and rarely steps in the pocket

I think every martial artist around the world holds a special place in their soul for this movie. For me it was watching the Rocky movies on a warm saturday morning with my Mom, going to my grandparents house to watch the de la Hoya fights (my grandpa's favorite fighter), and then me taking up boxing and muay thai in college as a way to connect with my Grandpa in the afterlife, and discovering so much about what I'm capable of. The movie teaches you to be the person who puts in the long hours, the thousands of repetitions, to humble yourself and do the things that others are 'too good' for. It's a movie that is nourishment for the soul.

@George Burnett no problem brother

Nice!! Do you also box mate?

@@Tony_Jeffries yea, I do

@@cloppin Nobody asked you🤣

@@thebodykeepsthescore2828 it’s a public comment section. I’ll reply to who and whenever I want to… if you have a problem with that, then oh well

@@cloppin he still wasn't asking you.

Ironically the same mistake Rocky will make years later in his first fight with Clubber Lang. The title made him soft, made him lose that “eye of the tiger”.

Duke is the most underrated character in the Rocky franchise in my opinion. I loved the scene in Rocky II when he tries to talk Apollo out of a rematch with Rocky. And even he knew that although Apollo won the first fight, he didn't beat Rocky.

Tony Burton was a terrific actor and really sold that scene with his expressions and body language. When Apollo dismissed him, saying "I mean business too," you can see Duke thinking "oh shit......we're in trouble....."

Boxing built a confidence in me that I never had before

FALSE. "We get more done by 10am then everyone else has done by 3pm".

It really doesn’t matter whether they do most stuff in the morning and sleep early or do things later and sleep later

@@joesr31 facts lol as long as it is done

Their unofficial motto is we take care of our own. After being poisoned for 4 years at Camp LeJeune AND FINDING OUT THEY TRIED TO COVER IT UP I can easily say I'm more than disappointed. Lost 2 children to miscarriages. Had Prostate cancer they couldn't bother to put on their "approved" list of cancers. Feeling foggier by the day. Now, at least I have one of the top attorneys in Texas working on my lawsuit. Plan to apply for VA Disability too.

@@domanicvaldez nah there is a mental bonus to out working everybody.. guys like kobe would be in gym at 3:30 am sweating man. Do you understand the mental edge you feel when everybody is sleeping and ur sweating.

What is your goal in boxing mate? great to hear you are back 👊

@@Tony_Jeffries my goal in the end is to aim for an area titles as my coach now his name is Craig Tipton he hopefully sees a lot of potential in me to achieve something like that :) honestly mate thank you so much for the reply such a big fan of you and your boxing videos thank you aswell for helping advance to the next level 🥊🥊

@@jakeparsons5593 go for the heavyweight champ of the world instead

@@Tony_Jeffries Have you watched boxers try bare knuckle fighting it is pretty interesting to see. A lot of boxers struggle with fighting bare knuckle because they instinctively throw combos like they do in gloves and end up breaking their hand a lot of the times. Also not covering their face like they should because in bare knuckle fighters try to cut your face up so you struggle to see and they can land one in and also get points for obvious damage. Gloves do really cut and the damage shows up later in the fight or in the morning. In a bare knuckle fight I saw a boxer with a broken hand and a massive hematoma on his forehead all because he didn't cover up and broke his hand on his opponents forehead.

Happy to helm mate, have you watch Rocky Movies?

@@Tony_Jeffries no bhai

@@beautifulworld9585 Watch the first one bro. It's a good vibe.

László Papp , the hungarian olympic champion boxer was trained by chopping wood, and felling trees with axe.

Rocky did do the chopping wood exercise in Rocky IV

I'd definitely take chopping wood over hitting stuff with a sledgehammer, the vibrations wreck your wrists if the thing you're hitting doesn't give

@@DjDolHaus86 I've seen people slam sledgehammers into old tires for strength training...don't know how effective it is but I guess that would take the vibration issues out a bit..especially if you were using a big tire, something like what a big rig or large tractor would use, that way you wouldn't have to worry about missing as much.

Muhammad Ali did it.

Agreed, all exercises can be good if you understand the risks and correct form.

I used to do behind the head pressed for the reasons you described. But once the weight hits 250+lbs, it doesn't really matter how slowly or controlled you do it, it's just too much pressure on that shoulder joint in a position where it is not optimally stable. I never had an injury, but I swapped to the front press because that weight was slowly wearing my shoulders down. After I swapped my shoulders healed right back up.

@@mr.doctorcaptain1124 Yes, everyone has a different anatomy and for some people it's just not on the menu, as well as it needing to be programmed correctly regardless. I neglected that in my first comment. Thank you.

Sounds like a good way to lose an eye. And your boxing career's over even before it started! 😜

Maybe a tennis ball but definitely not a rock

I'm sure it was totally possible to get sick with salmonella 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Lies

@@robloxsplayer-xk3cl😂😂 why would he be lying for ?

​@@robloxsplayer-xk3cl Not the roblox player talking shit 💀

His "form is terrible" because the movie's literally about an amateur taking on a champion.

Definitely harder than one would think 🥊 💪🏽

It actually strengthens your shoulders as well

за несколько месяцев боксера не сделаешь

I do this since years and i know many other who do this and nothing Happen me and the other ones

@@anthonymaximus8561 just because you and many other do it doesn’t make it correct. You’re putting pressure on the rotator cuffs so they’re more likely to tear

This is all dependant on your mobility. Biggest stereotypes are:"don't do behind neck shoulder press", "don't let your knees go over your toes while squatting" etc. As I said all depends from your mobility, and first thing any PT should do first is to check your mobility, anatomy, muscle strength etc. Meanwhile when I got to the gym, I see they have some training plan, which they give to their proteges and don't really care about things I mentioned. It's even worst. I can see most of these people have bad form and range reduction due to muscle tensions etc., and PT instead of pointing these and fix, they are giving them machine exercises where they only deepen their bad form.

@@nieczerwony Yeah you're pretty much correct... I started lifting back in college, and of course I couldn't afford any sort of personal training. All the exercises I did were based on what my friends did. One of them was "swimmer's curls" where you lift a dumbbell straight up in the air and twist it on the way down. Now I think I've permanently fucked up my shoulder mobility from years of doing it.

@Jake Collins Really? Have you even watched the movies? He leads with his head, even does it intentionally against Drago. The amount of punishment he takes is commented on in every movie and he has problems because of it throughout the later movies. It's a plot device, he didn't even stop fighting flat footed until the third movie when Apollo started training him. He won because of the amount of punishment he could and would take, not because he was a great boxer.

@Jake Collins Stallone is worth nearly half a billion dollars thanks to playing that shit boxer, how's your perfect form paying off? Though, I gotta ask, apart from in Rocky movies where he was playing that role, when did you see him box?

Have you tried them mate?

@@Tony_Jeffries you are a great guy, Tony. Greetings from a Romanian

Thanks for sharing mate 👊🏻

Do it, mate! It's great training, functional for everyday life and a lot of fun. You don't even need to spar to get a lot of benefit and you shouldn't be pressured to spar in any well-run gym.

Bless you brother.

👍

Im A kid

Trust me when I say it's not just kids... white-collared dudes see this and think they can be "tough like Rocky"...

@Emmanuelle Rodriguez Yeah, there's a reason why most boxers abstain weeks or even months before a fight.

The week or two before the fight you adjust your schedule to account for that

i just laughed so loud :D!! brill

Yep and never really swings just keep getting hit in the face

in all of his movies with the exception of rocky 3, where apollo trained him and at least Tried to get rocky to have some semblence of footwork and head movent, rocky just never was trained properly..its as if defense was an unknown concept to him or his trainer.. all he had was agression, endurance, a great chin and tons of heart as well as power in his punches.. problem was that he didnt have the timing or footwork need to Deliver those shots unless he got his opponent on the ropes or in a corner

I don't think that's correct

George Foreman punched Joe Frazier for training.

Mark Wahlberg hated it as well in his film where he played Vince Papalya. Obviously a misspelling.

Honestly it was just a quick way for Rocky to get protein so he could start his run early. It would take too much time for him to cook all those eggs, and he couldn't afford protein supplements.

@@nahor88 I am just saying what Rocky did in Rocky 1 was what most of the old timers like Dempsey, Gans, or Jeffries did.
