The Fight: Round 15 / Gonna Fly Now
[Announcer 1, spoken]
Ladies and gentlemen, the fifteenth and final round of one of the greatest bouts in the history of boxing!
[Announcer 2, spoken]
It's unbelievable! Both men are struggling to stay on their feet and keep on fighting!
Apollo Creed is bleeding from his mouth, while Balboa is clearly having difficulty seeing through his swollen eyes!
[Announcer 1, spoken]
The champion, Jimmy, appears to be protecting his right side, Ray, his ribs may have been broken during that brutal fourteenth round!
Apollo takes a left and lands a right to Rocky's jaw, and now both men start really going at it!
Standing toe-to-toe and exchanging punch after punch
[Announcer 2, spoken]
Only seconds left in the play
And now Balboa is taunting the champion, daring him to throw his best punch!
[Announcer 1, spoken]
An exchangе of lefts and rights from Apollo that would have knocked out anyonе else, but Rocky continues to shake them off and battle back, countering the jet punches blow for blow, I've never seen anything like this!
[Announcer 2, spoken]
Nobody has!
[Announcer 1, spoken]
It's over! The fight is over
