#Rocky balboa speech to sone mac#
The World Heavyweight Championship bout, with undefeated heavyweight champion Apollo Creed defending against Mac Lee Green, is scheduled to take place at the Philadelphia Spectrum on New Year's Day 1976, the year of the United States Bicentennial. Rocky is first seen defeating the boxer Spider Rico in the second round, but is considered by the audience to be a bum. He lives in the Kensington neighbourhood of Philadelphia. On November 25, 1975, Rocky Balboa is introduced as a small-time boxer and "leg-breaker," or debt collector, for an apparently "connected" loan shark named Anthony Gazzo. But what he does have going for him is his punching power, wich was immense, and that he could take quite a bit of punishment. However, unable to live on the low pay of club fights, and being unable to find work anywhere else due to his illiteracy, Rocky got a job as a collector for Tony Gazzo, the local loan shark, just to make ends meet.īy 1975, Rocky at nearly 30 years old has a pretty decent record as a boxer, 43-21, 36 wins by KO, but his defense was terrible, and his moves predictable, basic, and slow. In the late-1960s and early-1970s, Rocky took up boxing as a sport, and began training at Mighty Mick's gym with Micky, the gyms owner, never paying him any mind initially. Rocky's father, who was never the smartest guy either according to his son, and Rocky remembered his father "My old man, who was never the sharpest, told me I weren't born with much brain, so I better use my body." As a child, Rocky was never any real good at school and dropped out before even completing highschool. He was the only child in a Roman Catholic Italian-American family. Robert "Rocky" Balboa was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on July 6, 1946.
Rocky Balboa has black hair and brown eyes.
