Rocky Balboa: I was wonderin' what you were doin' the next 40 or 50 years.
Trivia: An estimated 800 children from a local school were used as extras for the scene in which Rocky runs through Philadelphia.
Answer: With all the damage Apollo did to Rocky, Rocky still wasn't knocked out. In the film series, Rocky is depicted as having an almost superhuman ability to absorb punches. Rocky also caused internal bleeding in Apollo. Tony knew that Rocky was far more dangerous than anyone realized.
