This video is an excerpt from the movie, "Rocky IV." It shows both Rocky and his nemesis, Drago, training in anticipation for their fight against each other. Rocky and Drago both know of the capabilities of their opponents, and they know that they are both formidable fighters. The training that they are doing is tough for both of them, but tougher for Rocky for he has none of the advanced computerized training facilities that Drago has access to. Rocky knows of the difficulty of training in these conditions, but he accepts those difficulties. He also did not chose to fight Drago, in spite of not being paid for it. He went to a great deal of trouble to prepare himself for this fight, but it paid off in the end for him. Near the middle of the fight, Rocky won the heart of the Russian spectators who were initially very hostile to Rocky. They began cheering for him when he got back up after the much bigger Drago knocked him down. He eventually won the fight and felt real glory and fame both in the Soviet Union and in his home country, The United States.
