in the rematch in Rocky III, Rocky was blocking some of the haymakers Lang was throwing at him. I guess he was trying to play rope-a-dope to tire out Lang. He was blindly getting hit by some of the shots which was just plain stupid to me, but he was at least holding his hands up in the rematch.

The insane thing about the matches between Lang and Rocky is that Lang was 30 pounds heavier than Rocky. 30. Pounds. Heavier. That is beyond insane. Rocky would be dead ten times over if that movie was rooted in any sense of reality.

I'll give the other movies a look over since I've heard people revere them in the past.
