The axe murderer
For I am death and I ride on a pale horse
Better to be mad and save a funeral to your wife. That was incredibly selfish way for you to die, leaving your wife and your 2 kids, a jumpoff, and a b*stard son behind
After watching Rocky IV a billion times, I've never took in this question...

The answers in here underline the divided nature of the question posed, are you the ultimate bestie for honoring ya mans wishes no matter how stubborn or prideful he is or are you the ultimate bestie for saving him from himself no matter how much he may hate you afterwards? 
I just don't think Rocky thought he was actually getting killed in there, he didn't think he was going to die. Hurt really bad, yea. Killed no. So if he had it to do over knowing he was going to die i'd hope he'd......... throw the damn towel.

If he would've supported Clubber Lang this would've never happened. He should've stuck with Lang calling out Rocky for ducking him. THEN he sold out and helped Rocky best Lang 
Imagine a Drago vs Lang
Furthermore Lang would jumped in the ring and started throwing haymakers
Furthermore Lang would've kept it a 100 with Creed and told him not to fight Drago. They would've made him take a drug test.

We always have to be in the middle of the action 'cause we're the warriors. And without some challenge, without some damn war to fight, then the warrior might as well be dead, Stallion!"

rocky 4 is definitely patterned after a martial arts film or Asian legend/story.....and I'm guessing that dragon ball z is too
When I saw Ip Man
when I saw Ip Man 2........
the story is just like the rocky 4 story, I figured that they were copying an early martial arts film or cliche, rather copying rocky 4
shyt's funny as fukk how they were supposed to be in the same weight class too. This is like Mayweather fighting Lennox Lewis.
balboa deflecting huh?

Not like it would have mattered, Drago probably wouldn’t have stopped. He may have gotten manslaughter charges in real life since he shoved the ref out of the way when he tried to stop it and continued to beat Apollo up til he killed him.
In real life, getting up on the ring post and waiving the towel is actually stopping the fight (see the end of Mayweather-Corrales). Refs are supposed to ignore towels flying in the ring because it could be coming from anywhere.
But cornermen are suppose to be able to step in and stop it in case a fighter is too brave for their own good. So Rocky was wrong not to stop it. My father worked as an inspector in the California state commission in the 80s and 90s, two fights stood out. Both times, the guys were taking horrible beatings, and refused to quit. Their fathers were working in their corners. They were too tough and didn’t want to quit in front of their dads. Their dads refused to stop it. Both of the fighters died. If they had better cornerman who did the right thing, they’d probably be alive.
Joe Frazier never really forgave Eddie Futch for stopping it in Manila, but he was forever respected in boxing for doing the compassionate thing. Joe’s eye was completely shut and couldn’t see and avoid the right hands.
