* As a villainous moment of awesome, our first introduction to Drago's strength comes from when he and Apollo meet with the referee. Apollo tells Drago to get his hands up, and promptly slams his own gloves down on Drago's, intent on knocking them out of the way. Drago doesn't even budge.

* By Round 12, as Rocky took more abuse, he was able to stand up against the ''Siberian Expression'', earning the praise of the audience who were once hostile towards him.
