Actually, Apollo is also a very cute character

In fact, Apollo is not very annoying, on the contrary, it is a very cute character, as cute as Roach, otherwise they will not finally come together. The two of them have the same temperament—many people didn’t notice, Rocky persisted to the end no matter what, wasn’t it Apollo. In the first part, Apollo was beaten to vomit blood and insisted on the game. Even if he was beaten to death by a Russian boxer in the next episode, he didn't give up. From this point of view, Apollo is cute.

He was willing to teach Rocky that he was taken captive as the boxing champion. He was unwilling to find someone he likes to play with the residual heat and still make him not lonely. Apollo is caring and wise, and he is similar to Rocky for his family and opponents.

After being knocked down by Rocky in the second episode, Apollo was convinced, and it was destined that the duel between the two of them after the victory together could only be a joke between the brothers.

    Wrestling referee: [Introducing Rocky] ... Weighing in at 202 pounds...

    [Rocky gives Mickey a look, and Mickey grins in response]

  • Rocky Balboa: Why'd you leave? Why'd you walk away like that?

    Mickey: Life's too short, kid.

    Rocky Balboa: Where you goin?

    Mickey: I'm goin on a permanent vacation.

    Rocky Balboa: What are you talkin about? We got one more fight.

    Mickey: No, no, not me, you.

    Rocky Balboa: Why you doin this?

    [Mickey doesn't answer]

    Rocky Balboa: I said why you doin this?

    Mickey: Because you can't win, Rock! This guy'll kill you to death inside of three rounds!

    Rocky Balboa: You're crazy!

    Mickey: What else is new?

    Rocky Balboa: He's just another fighter!

    Mickey: No he ain't just another fighter. This guy is a wrecking machine and he's hungry! Hell, you ain't been hungry since you won that belt!

    Rocky Balboa: Aw, what are you talking about I've had 10 title defenses?

    Mickey: That was easy!

    Rocky Balboa: What do you mean easy?

    Mickey: They was hand picked!

    Rocky Balboa: Set ups?

    Mickey: Nah they wasn't set ups! They was good fighters but they wasn't killers like this guy. He'll knock you to tomorrow, Rock!

    Rocky Balboa: Jeez, Mick. Why'd you do it?

    Mickey: Because the beating that you got from Apollo should've killed you, kid. It didn't. It was my job to keep you winning and to keep you healthy.

    Rocky Balboa: You really don't think I got nothing left do you?

    Mickey: Well, Rock, let's put it this way. Now, three years ago you was supernatural. You was hard and you was nasty and you had this cast-iron jaw but then the worst thing happened to you, that could happen to any fighter. You got civilized. But don't worry kid. You know, presidents retire, horses retire, Man-o-war retired. They put him out to stud. That's what you should've done, retired.

    Rocky Balboa: I can't retire knowing all this, Mick.
