Trivia

When Rocky knocks down Creed in the first round, he doesn't go to a neutral corner until a good 10 seconds after Creed hit the canvas. This was critical because the referee cannot start the count until the fighter is in a neutral corner. As it took Creed to the count of 8 seconds to get up off the canvas, had Rocky gone to a neutral corner immediately Creed would've been counted out and Rocky would've been champion via a 1st Round KO.
