* While Rocky and Adonis train for the big fight, we are reminded that Rocky is still undergoing treatment. The montage splits from training, to caretaker, as Rocky needs help just to make it to the bathroom to throw up, outside the door we see Adonis on the verge of tears, not wanting him to suffer. It really is no different then a son taking care of their sick father and it's heart wrenching.

The image, from one of Stallone's family albums, is of Sylvester in front of a punching bang with Sage, who played Rocky Jr. in ''Rocky V''. Coogler urged a reluctant Stallone to give him the picture since he thought it wouldn’t be right not to have a representation of Sage in the movie.

** Two of the people mentioned are working in Rocky's restaurant. Someone has to keep the place running while he's getting treatment and training Donnie. They may have come to visit when they could, but given the long hours involved it may not have been often. In any case the focus of the story is not on them, but on Rocky's RedemptionQuest: he feels as though he failed Robert as a father, and could have done better by Tommy Gunn. Donnie's his last realistic hope as a boxing manager/surrogate father.
