Trivia Question... Rocky Balboa

[scorp43]

A friend and myself remember the outcome of the 1st Fight between Rocky and Apollo Creed differently, I don't have the movie at hand.
Looking around on-line I see varying answers, What was the score of the fight?

I thought I remembered first judge Apollo, second Rocky, Third EVEN.
Draw, Creed Retains title.

My buddy says split decission Creed... 2 Judges to 1.

Did my young mind at the time just want a Draw or does my memory serve?

Thanks!

Are you going off memory or visual evidence?

A pretty good article, I thought above. I will watch the final now.
He agrees with me by the way. Check last page.
Thanks

The last page of his article has a list of the Rocky fights.

(Go see the movie!)



ROCKY LOST A SPLIT DECISION TO APOLLO IN THE FIRST GO AROUND, THEN WON THE TITLE BY DRAMATIC KO IN THE 15TH.

HE WAS THEN KNOCKED OUT BY CLUBBER LANG IN 2 ROUNDS. THE GUY IS RIGHT WHEN HE SAYS ROCKY KO'D CLUBBER IN THE REMATCH.

ROCKY KO'D DRAGO IN THEIR FIGHT, AND I BELIEVE THAT THE TITLE WASN'T AT STAKE. I THINK IT WAS ONLY AN EXHIBITION.

I saw the error on the Clubber Lang Decision in II, also.
Thought I had a copy to see but it was the wrong episode, dang.
I hate to rent the thing, just to SEE it, rather than hear what was recalled.
"Going the distance" was the point and not the Trivia of the score.
I need someone to watch the ending and repeat what is said. Searching on-line, I've seen it all.
Thanks

Balboa vs creed 1 - creed wins split decision.

Balboa vs creed 2 - Balboa wins by KO 15

Balboa vs Clubber 1 - Lang wins by KO 2

Balboa vs Lang 2 - Rocky wins by KO 3

creed vs Drago - Drago by death in 2

Balboa vs Drago - Rocky by KO 15

Balboa vs Gunn - (street fight) Rocky by KO

Balboa vs Dixon - see the movie, think of the thirst creed fight.

Creed via split decision.

Just watched it. It is like I saw somewhere, you can't get the score. You hear the first judges card 8-7 then gets drowned out, obvious next for Rocky,
then in the mix I hear "for" before they say "still Champion".
I feel certain he is right and I was mistaken, but now wonder where I got that from. Nothing said later in others that I can imagine.
Memory is a funny thing, "Fills in gaps"
Thanks
