He wasn't even as skilled as Donnie. So it was just him being out matched.
They could've done so much more with Dame. I wonder if anyone involved in writing this knew that there have been actual Heavyweight pro fights in prison with actual inmates. They could have based Dame on James Scott's real story to build up his resume behind bars.
The ending was so anticlimactic, also can someone explain WHY Creed was like “I have to stop him” like the terminator was coming after his whole family. He literally came out of retirement to beat this dudes ass for no reason. Who was Dame bothering after winning the belt? I know they had that confrontation on the beach but I don’t remember Dame making any long term threats
To be honest for me Dame's whole beef with Adonis seemed weak. That was definitely something that should of been explained more. But even then I doubt they could truly justify Dame's beef with Adonis to the point where it seemed like it made sense. I get that dude lost 18+ years of his life and lost contact with Adonis but after he got out of jail and reconnected with Adonis who went above and beyond to accommodate Dame. Dude put his reputation on the line to get Dame a title fight and then Dame pulls all that bullshyt (breaking Drago's hand and fighting dirty). Dame was on some bytch shyt thinking somebody owe him something. fukk outta here. I would understand if Adonis killed someobody and then Dame took the fall for that but Dame was the one that pulled the gun out that got him locked up.
I can understand that part I guess it just seemed to me that when Adonis went above and beyond to accommodate his feelings it seemed messed up how Dame treated him. Adonis did go above and beyond so I think how Dame treated him going forward was fukked up. I would understand it a bit more if Adonis blew him off and ignored him.
Eh, he pulled the gun to stop two grown men from beating the fukk out of a 12 year old.

I go to jail defending your hot headed ass, alone, because you ran, but then you don't reach out, check up on me for 18 years
I'm pretty much your big brother, been looking out for you since the group home, taking you to fights, defending you and if I didn't come look for you, I likely would've never seen or heard from you again? Even with mama Creed hiding the letters, Adonis made no effort at all.
I'm watching you live the life I used to tell you I would have, but can't because I was looking out for you.
but it's good drama and you need the over the top hype to make a good film and it worked.But if you've spent 18 years in jail for somebody, them taking you to lunch, offering you money and then saying you can come to the gym to work out isn't going t one anywhere near enough to make up for your compete absence.
