Apollo Creed won the fight on a split decision. Three judges gave points to each fighter in every round and then added up the total points for each fighter. Two judges scored a win for Creed and one judge scored a win for Rocky. Rocky won the crowd, he won Adrian's love, but most importantly, he won his self-respect. He no longer saw himself as a loser.

RIP Carl Weathers 🙏 We miss you champ 🏆

Rocky is not a boxing movie, it's a love story about a boxer that just happens to have boxing in it.

Adrian finally getting in Paulie's face is one of my favorite cinematic moments! "I'm not a LOSER!" ❤

Don't make us wait too long for Rocky II. One of the best sequels ever.

This reaction is as sweet and compassionate as the film itself. Every filmmaker dreams of an audience like y'all.

You just discovered something. Rocky is more of a love story than a boxing film. Stallone is brilliant.

Stallone turned down a small fortune from a studio who wanted to buy this script. He waited for someone who would let him act and direct. He was down to his last $50 when he did it.

The last line: “I love you” Such a great movie!

“He needs all his juices” I WILL NEVER BE THE SAME! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

The cool thing about Mick in that scene where he tries to convince Rocky that he needs his help as a manager/trainer, it shows that the two are actually very much alike. Mick is sharing pictures of his fights from the past, and telling stories just like Rocky was at the beginning of the film, yet Rocky doesn't care in that moment just like nobody cared about Rocky's stories of his fights. Also, it shows that Rocky's title shot is just as much a chance for Mick to achieve something as it was for Rocky. Rocky, Mick, Adrian, and Paulie are very similar people. They are all people who have come from very tuff environments, and feel lost, and rejected in a harsh world, and have become sad, angry, and insecure with themselves. That's the real story of Rocky. It's about the underdog spirit, and emotionally wounded individuals finding a place for themselves in this harsh world, and healing those wounds with love, and determination.

This is such a beautiful film. Stallone wrote a screenplay that I can’t imagine ANYONE else filling the roles of. This is what cinema is all about. Also, you guys are some of the best reactors in the game. Had to edit this comment to make sure you know haha ❤

It also reflects Stallone's true life story. It was his script, he was totally broke, and he insisted he play the role but the studio wanted a 'known' actor to play the part. It's Stallone's dog (which he sold but bought back with the money he got from selling the script), his turtles, and eventually HIS Oscar for Best Picture and Best Original Screenplay. The underdog truly won.

This movie came out of nowhere and won the Oscar that year for Best Picture. It's a masterpiece and such a great time capsule of the times.

35:30 "We're probably enjoying this movie way more different than anybody has... because the things that we care about, the things we we laugh at, I don't know if everyone laughs at faces and stuff like that..." no no no... you're enjoying this EXACTLY the way the world enjoyed and embraced this warm bit of cinema. As yer gathering by the comments, this has long been regarded as one of the best romances put to film, if not 'all the rest' of it 😂

YES! You two are one of the few reactors who GOT the scene with Rocky and the poster with the wrong colour shorts. Yep, they weren't taking him seriously. He didn't matter to them. Most people see that scene as a "comedic" scene and it really frustrates me because it's so moving when you know what's really going on.

"Where's your hat?" gets me every time

You two are the Undisputed Heavyweight Reaction Champs 🥊 🏆 Looking forward to the next fight

Fun fact, Stallone kept those turtles from this movie. They have been his pets since then. His dog Butkus made an appearance in this movie and part 2 as well, before passing away.

You two will love Rocky 2 and 3 in particular!

"Leg breaker" refers to Rocky working as an enforcer.

Watch them all, no matter what people say. Watch 1 through 6 ... 6 is a sensation. And after that, there´s 3 Creed-movies.

I love how you two get the love scene in the apartment. Thank you. You explained it better than any other KZfaqr out there.

Rocky is more of a love story than a boxing movie, and I love that.

Perhaps the best reaction to this movie that I have seen. They completely got the love story aspect of it and that Rocky won even without winning the fight. Fighting against all odds.

carl weathers (RIP) was such a talented athlete that no one would've believed he wasn't a real boxer. his speed, coordination, balance, fluidity, and power were so natural that i initially thought they hired a boxer and taught him to act, not the other way around. can't wait until you get to the first 'creed' movie

I love all the Rocky movies. Even the later movies that were not quite as good as the first two are still a must watch. Just so much genuine heart and determination in all of them.

When Adrian opened her bedroom door, suddenly ready to go out with Rocky, I looked over at Jyn and we were both snickering almost exactly the same way. I don't know why, but it was just funny. And Ryl, "He needs his juices"? LOL! That was right up there with the punani crisis. I'm rolling.

Adrain was very shy and introverted.The actress playing her did a great job. She was very believable. Stallone wrote a great script and his acting was good too. This movie had a lot of heart.

61 years old last March and I can tell you older people love more from experience and therefore shout with more authority because we have gone through it.

Apollo won the fight. Rocky won the respect and most importantly his self-respect and Adrians love. This is a love story and a story about finding self worth, for Rocky and Adrian. This is a good series of movies.

Best Rocky reaction I've seen. You guys soaked it all in properly. 👍

I've seen this movie before but you ladies reminded of the innocence and tenderness. So thanks, I I've enjoyed this one with y'all.

😮❤ he was homeless when he was making this movie. Great movies.

53:00-54:20: A very thoughtful and subtle discussion of how the movie depicted Rocky and Adrian's romance. Once againm Jyn & Rxl show what great romantics they are.

The first reactors to comment on “where’s your hat?” that I’ve seen! It’s my favorite line. I wish I could give you a million likes 👍🏼 for that!

Most lovely ladies, 1976 was my first year of High School, I I love the Rocky series. I strongly urge you to watch in release order. I believe you will be very pleased. I heart Ryl🥰

Philly girl here & Rocky is still a god in Philadelphia. He’s such a good dude!

I hope you both really like this movie. It is a slower paced movie, (compared to today's movies), but that is exactly how life was at this time..slower paced..neighborhood type life. Rocky has HEART, and I hope you will see that...(I think you both will..you are good at seeing the soul of the character)

There have been a number of times in history when heart overcame talent, even in a loss, and those on top underestimated their competition being complacent at the top. One of the great all-time movies!

I love that you guys enjoyed this movie so much. The entire franchise 1-6 is a must see, so you both are in for a treat, please stick with it. Loved how you appreciated the kissing scene, a lot of people don't know how to react to that scene, they get cringy and awkward. You saw it how it was... An awkward extremely introverted girl being gently coaxed to open up. Also liked how you recognized Creed and Rocky made each other better. That's called steel sharpening steel. 😎👍🙏❤️

Note; The actor who plays the mobster loan shark Gazzo who employees Rocky as a collector was played by the late great Joe Spinell (1936-1989) a famous New York City-born character actor who appeared in many films playing villian or bad guys in Hollywood and independent film industry. Spinell supported Stallone during his early career... giving money to Sly Stallone just like his character of Gazzo gives money to Rocky in this film.

P.S. And Talia Shire (Adrian) was also the daughter (Connie) in The Godfather, is quite the phenomenal actress.

Believe it or not,Sylvester Stallone still has those two turtles to this very day

Rocky is the most inspirational sports film ever made and all of the sequels with a few exceptions are almost as good. Also, i consider the Rocky and Adrian love story to be one of the best on film

A beautiful reaction, from two beautiful souls! Enjoy the journey! ❤

You’re going to love Rocky ll and lll as well! Great reaction!

Watching you guys react to this takes us all back to our childhoods watching this movie. Thank you so much for sitting down and watching this one 🥰 There was a point in the reaction that you guys questioned how much you were enjoying the humor in the movie - you’re not alone, everyone falls in love with this character and gets super invested like you did 😊 the sequels are decent movies, but this one is really special.

I want to thank you guys for getting the initial love scene between Adrienne and Rocky. A lot of reactors totally misunderstand it. Rocky is being very persistent and assertive with Adrienne because that is what she desperately needs. They are both very lonely people who have been beaten down by life but deserve love. That’s what makes their relationship so beautiful.

Thank you for the great reaction to this movie. I strongly recommend to anyone that has ever tried something and faced criticism for their efforts to listen to Theodore Roosevelt's "Man in the Arena" speech. It really puts things into perspective and reminds you that those that try and fail are to be more respected than those that never try yet criticize those that do try. Rocky epitomizes this concept. It is better to try your best at whatever you are doing than to let the doubters and haters dictate your actions. Please keep up the great reactions. You always brighten the day a little. 💜

Adrian ( Talia Shire) -Godfather Michael Corleones sister..Creeds persona based on Muhamamd Ali who actually said he wished he thought Creeds "Master of Disaster"& Joe Frazier who shook hands with boxers in ring was a real boxer who fought Ali three times....Rocky - " They Must Be Friends" 😊

Hope you both watch ALL of them. Each is good or great.

Your going to love the rest of them. It's the greatest love story ever filmed

The poster in his apartment was real heavyweight champion Rocky Marciano who never lost a pro fight. He was 49-0 with 43 knockouts. He was the underdog when he fought Jersey Joe Walcott for the title and took a hell of a beating for 12 rounds before he knocked Jersey Joe out in the 13th round. The movie wasn't based on him but Stallone's character was similar to Marciano in many ways, especially toughness.

You two have great smiles

Wonderful reaction to a true classic! Great job yall, can't wait for Rocky II and beyond!

I saw this movie when it first came out with a group of my friends. We loved it so much we went back and saw it again the next day! People in the theatre where standing up and cheering at the top of their lungs at the end. No kidding, great job by Stallone writing and staring in this one.

Great reaction as usual ! You’re going down the rabbit hole with the Rocky franchise. You’re in it now !!

Girls I totally loved ♥️ your reaction one of the best Rocky reactions on KZfaq. Next you have to react to Rocky 2! 👍🏼

Yes girls Rocky, as a boxer 🥊 in my teens and 20’s, this was my favourite movie at the time. The whole franchise. You will enjoy these. Adrian!!!! Lol 😂 Great reaction girl’s 💕

Welcome to Rocky Land! Have to see the rest of the Rocky movies! The series gets even better!😂

This was one of the best reactions I’ve seen for Rocky. I hope you continue the series

Your two are the best. I love your perspective on movies. You're right, what you notice is different than others, and we are here for it.

Thanks for this review! All of the people who watch this love you... I do too. It's real. Thank you.

YOU'LL love Rocky Series. Keep watching.

I have been waiting for you ladies to watch the Rocky movies. You ladies will enjoy them all.

what a wonderful reaction from two young ladies that also really appreciated this classic, part two of the franchise is actually my favourite of the rocky franchise so cant wait to see your reaction, keep the vid coming,

So Creed is not only undefeated, but when Rocky said "no one has ever gone the distance with Creed..." he is talking about Knockouts. Creed has knocked out every opponent in the ring. No draws...no decisions (judges score). dude is such a gifted fighter. So Rocky believes in his heart he can't win against Creed, but he wants to see if he can at least finish the fight on his feet and leave it to the judges. Basically, just not quit or get knocked out.

Love this reaction!! Can’t wait for y’all to see 2 and 3!!

you guys definitely had a unique perspective it was hilarous glad you loved it! Whole series is worth a watch for sure

Such a solid franchise, You'll love the sequals as well - It's magical all the way through

I hope you two will watch the entire Rocky series.

All of the acting in this is AMAZING!

It was incredible clever of Stallone to mirror Adriana's first time and the scene with Rocky's big shot. Each were given a choice, stay and never know; go and find out what can happen.

I love these two. Keep up the great work!

Ryl, some tears? I could tell by your smiles you guys really liked it, you said it was amazing, and that's what we want, your opinion on the movie, good or bad, not just what happened. And different hair, Jyn. We like it!

23:20 😮 "What???" -Jyn one of my favorite moments watching a Rocky reaction. most are surprised that Rocky says no.

Ladies...I absolutely loved your reaction...thank you! Good journey :) Peace!

Amazing reaction!! Glad you two felt the love story between Rocky and Adrian. ❤❤

Great reaction ladies! I appreciated your fresh take and how you did not think the first kiss was a Me Too moment. Well done.

Really awesome reaction ladies, very genuine.

great reaction hope u guys continue on and watch the whole series!

This was an absolutely fantastic reaction

This was such a satisfying watch along. It was really fun to see your surprise at points all along the way. This film was a surprise for everyone who thought it's another sports/boxing movie. Boxing is just the backdrop for the love story. I hope you are planning to at least watch Rocky 2 soon. It is a continuation of Rocky 1 and very much the same feel.

Thanks!! You both are awesome!!✌❤✌

I love watching your reactions, can’t wait for you to watch all the Rocky films.

Adrian is the heart and soul of all the Rocky movies! This is a love story with boxing in it! Please react to Cinderella Man with Russell Crowe, a boxing movie based on a true story. It will make you cry and happy!

Jyn I like your vibe! Rxl you're great as well!

I love watching y'alls reactions, you both haver such empathy and kindness, and it's a pleasure seeing you react to this movie, the love story, the gentleman warriors, the pushing ones self, the determination of both fighters- overcoming life's obstacles in whatever shape they take. If you two enjoyed this, the sequels are very good as well. Apollo is in the next 3 movies as well - he and Rocky both have tremendous character arcs.

Lovely reaction, girls! One of my favorites! ❤

Beautiful hair Ryl! I love the purple 💜

The dog, Butkus was actually Stallone's real dog. He was so low on cash, he had to sell him. Once he sold the script for Rocky, he bought him back for $15k and put him in the movie. You'll definitely enjoy the rest of the series.

Glad you ladies got to Rocky!

Fun fact: Talia Shire-Adrian IRL is Nicolas Cage's aunt and Francis Ford Coppala's sister.

Wonderful review laddies. You totally understood this movie and its message. Makes me smile.

Back then, 15 rounds was the maximum allowed by most boxing organizations; now it's 12 rounds. Sometimes matches have 10 rounds. Amateur matches are 3 rounds.

Rocky 2 is just the second half of one big movie. And it’s great

One thing that should b known about the movie Rocky is that it’s not a boxing or sport movie,but that it’s a love story like you’ve never seen b4 or since,no where is it more evident than that great ending,how many movies end with the words “I love you”? Btw I love your reaction,both of you are so wonderful and right spot on with what you were saying,especially what Ryl was saying @22:10,yes it was so realistic

Great reacting love it rocky is a great story of love and live.

Can't wait for the next one.
