Meta description- After losing to Rocky, Ivan Drago had to leave Russia to care for his kid Viktor Drago. Drago was married to Ludmilla Vobet (Brigitte Nielsen), a double gold medalist in swimming.
Why the Russian Should have Beat Rocky
Introduction
In Rocky IV, Rocky Balboa's last punch knocked Ivan Drago to the ground after 15 rounds of slugging it out. Drago was knocked out in the first round to the roar of a raucous crowd when he could not answer the referee's count. What happened next to Drago has been a mystery left to the imagination of Rocky fans for decades.
Lessons for Adonis
How did Rocky do it? (Win the war, don’t pull down the Berlin Wall.)
- Because Drago didn't control himself and was overconfident, Rocky couldn't stop Drago from bleeding. He let himself get knocked out by Rocky when he only needed to stay away from him. Emotions can get the better of a boxer who doesn't let them get the better of him.
- Adonis has fought to the end in some of the most important fights. The more time the competition goes on, the better your chances of winning.
- Help can be found from people who know your own and your opponent's strengths and weaknesses. Make sure you have a strong ally in your corner who knows about both.
Conclusion
Apollo was too proud to resign. And, of course, Rocky didn’t throw in the towel. Sports movies have never seen a more tragic day than now. Another Creed will battle another Drago in Creed II as Adonis prepares to confront Viktor Drago, another huge foe. What hope does Apollo's grandson have against Ivan's vastly superior descendants? We looked at the most implausible boxing battle, another physical mismatch - Rocky Balboa vs. Ivan Drago in Moscow on Christmas Day.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why wasn't Ivan Drago charged with murdering Apollo Creed?
Real-life boxing deaths have occurred, but no one has been charged. We believe that everyone knows that boxing is a risky sport, and that boxers recognize this and take risks every time they enter the ring. Since Drago refuses to acknowledge the authority in the ring, he has crossed the threshold from an athlete to an assailant.

2. Can any Russian beat Rocky?
In the film, the Soviet Union and its top fighters enter professional boxing with their greatest athlete Ivan Drago, who originally intends to take on the world champion, Rocky Balboa. Rocky's close buddy Apollo Creed decides to face him in an exhibition but is tragically battered and murdered in the ring by Drago.
3. What exactly was the problem with Rocky 5?
It wasn't bad; in fact, it was rather delightful in many ways. People tend to flock together like sheep when they are informed something is dangerous and should be avoided. A more contemporary example of this is the band Nickelback.
4. Is Ivan Drago's punching test rigged, and how did he not kill Rocky?
Although Stallone urged Dolf Lungren to hit him for kicks, this isn't footage from a film shoot. When he woke up from his coma, Stallone had several fractures.
5. It's unclear why Rocky IV didn't fight Drago as he did Lang. His old habits have returned.
Fighting Clubber Lang with his previous method failed due to his opponent's brute strength. He had to learn from his mistakes in the rematch and adapt his fighting style to Apollo Creeds. Rocky III put on a terrific performance despite Apollo's old age and reduced combat abilities.
