No, Balboa came at him like he normally did and got ko'd in their first match. Apollo took him under his wing and made him into a slick fighter and taught him not to fight flatfooted. Then in the rematch Balboa exposed him as a bum.
He had a hell of a run before winning the title. After beating Balboa and then losing the rematch, he's a borderline case.
How did his career go post-Balboa?
the last he was seen was in MMA, he changed his name to Kimbo Slice.
hes gotten a little older tho'

his first win against balboa was a fluke, rocky came in after a time of layoff and he has lost the eye of the tiger back then. on the rematch clubber was exposed as a bum. that fights a good example of nobody's taking any soul of nobody in boxing. rocky never lost his soul in his lost to clubber he came to the fight without the eye of the tiger. EYE OF THE TIGER, man ROCKY is the greatest southpaw that ever laced the gloves, fact.
btw those who lost their soul are called zombies.
