Taking place on America's 200th birthday, the first Rocky-Apollo showdown was actually just a plan to further elevate the career of the proud Apollo, the current heavyweight champion of the world.
What would be Apollo's opponent ends up getting injured, and he has to use a 'Plan B': invite an unknown fighter, make his average taking advantage of the motto "America is the Land of the Opportunity," and beat him easily.
So, Rocky Balboa, the neighborhood fighter, is chosen solely because of his impactful codename 'Italian Stallion'.
What for Apollo was nothing more than a colossal joke. For Rocky was the chance of a lifetime to show he could be somebody.
