Rocky Balboa Page #9

It will numb up on you

in a few rounds.

Once that hand numbs up,

Dixon will be able to throw it hard.

Until then, here is Rocky's chance.

- No reverse!

- Take the pain, champ.

Stay on him! Everybody thought

this was a joke, including me!

Now nobody's laughing!

Stay on him! You go get him!

Go out strong!

Keep him off you!

That's it! That's it!

You won that round.

Break him down.

Bomb him! Bomb him!

Yeah!

Just keep throwing them bombs!

Come on.

You can do this.

Rocko. Rocko.

Yeah, come on, go!

Go through him! Run over him!

Unload on him!

Get down, Mason!

They're leaving nothing

on the table, guys.

The fans are still standing. They may

not be able to sit down for a week.

- You're doing great!

- I'm doing better than I thought.

- You sure he's okay?

- I've had worse.

Toe to toe, one round to go. Who

would've believed this was possible?

- Can you see out of that eye?

- Let me talk to him.

Don't take any more chances

than you have to.

There's nothing more to prove, Pop.

There's nothing more to prove.

I gotta go out the way I gotta go out.

You can do it, Rocko!

- One more round, we go home.

- Okay, then do it.

There's an old saying that

every great champion has...

...one great fight left in him,

and Rocky is proving it so far.

- Come on. Touch them up.

- Rocko! The last round of your life!

- Come on, guys.

- The last round!

Come on. Touch them up, let's go.

Touch them up.

- You are one crazy old man.

- You'll get there.

Let's go.

Tenth round of a scheduled 10.

Who would ever have dreamed...

...that Rocky Balboa would still be

in this quote, "exhibition," against...

...the heavyweight champion?

- You can do it! Come on!

This fight is as though Dixon

got on-the-job training in courage.

- Cover up! Cover up!

- They're both in a pain-free zone!

These guys are fighting

in another dimension right now!

Beyond belief! Balboa just walking

straight into Dixon's punches.

Target practice for Dixon.

They're exchanging right hooks!

Balboa's drilled!

Here comes Dixon! He's exhausted

from just punching the man!

Knock this bum out, Mase!

What is it you said to the kid?

It ain't about how hard you hit.

It's about how hard you can get hit

and keep moving forward.

How much you can take

and keep moving forward.

- Rocky! Rocky! Rocky!

- Get up.

- Let's go! Get up!

- Rocky! Rocky! Rocky!

Rocky! Rocky! Rocky!

Get up.

Another monster body shot. Rocky's

ancestors must have felt that one.

Come on, Rocky!

Start moving those hands!

Less than two minutes to go.

The crowd is astonished

that Balboa got up.

- Come on!

- Turn it over! All the way through!

And retaliates with fury!

Chop him down!

Come on, Rocky! Come on!

Take him out now!

They're trading shots again!

Balboa is trying to hit

anything and anywhere!

Win it! Win it!

Yes!

Yes!

You're a great champion.

You got heart.

Thanks for the opportunity.

Good man.

That was unbelievable. That was

the greatest thing I've ever seen.

You did it. That's the kind

of fighting you're talking about.

Hey, Paulie.

That beast is gone now.

The beast is out.

One of the most overused words

in sports, guys, is "incredible."

I hate to say it. This is incredible.

Let's go!

Ladies and gentlemen,

before we go to the scorecards...

...a round of applause for these

two heavyweight warriors!

We have a split decision.

Adelaide Byrd scores it 95-94...

...Dixon.

Chuck Giampa has it 95-94...

...Balboa.

And Bill Graham scores it 95-94...

...for the winner by split decision,

and still undefeated...

...the heavyweight champion

of the world...

...Mason "The Line" Dixon!

Rocky! Rocky! Rocky!

You know, I couldn't have

done nothing without you.

Yo, Adrian, we did it.

We did it.
