What always amazed me about these Rocky movies was the fact that the refs never did shyt no matter how bad someone was getting their ass kicked. I mean they just literally sat there and watched people die and get brain damage from fights. Rocky literally got his ass murdered in the first 2 rounds of Rocky IV. That shyt should've been stopped 1st round when he got knocked down like 4-6 times in one round. The number of knock downs in that fight is just retarded.
do you blame Rocky for Apollo's death

Apollo's Ali-like Arrogance is why he died. Rocky was shellshocked at that moment like a deer in headlights.
I'd say everybody gets the blame but Apollo gets the most
He had no business challenging Drago to a exhibition match no less,Then your man came out with James Brown singing and dancing
.To top it off he made Rocky promise not to throw the towel 
.
Ref gets the 2nd most because he didn't need no towel dropped to stop that fight. Rocky 3rd for getting shell shocked like he never saw an asswhipping.

breh, the first fight vs. Clubber Lang was so brutal it would've caused a discussion about ending boxing all together.

Yes. Its a corners job to protect the fighter. It was an exhibition. Rocky could not hear Apollo say dont throw in the towel over the crowd. Rocky thought he was doing Apollo a favor by letting that Russian kill him but he really didnt, clearly, friends. 
Yea Clubber did fukk him up something serious but that Russian beat the chromosomes out that nikka had him shaking like Pookie and seeing the light prematurely at the end of the tunnel afterwards in his locker room.
Yes, but it wasn't solely his fault.
Nah rocky was about to throw it the first time but Apollo yelled at him not too. He was flailing his arms and everything telling him not to throw it in. Apollo asked for that shyt though. Doing all that chicken dancing with James Brown buffooning with a broadway musical for a damn exhibition match. He straight up disrespected Drago and Paulie ol drunk stupid ass was mouthing off not making it any better. Drago's manager was right he should've never even fought Apollo he was a washed up shell of his former self.Yes. Its a corners job to protect the fighter. It was an exhibition. Rocky could not hear Apollo say dont throw in the towel over the crowd. Rocky thought he was doing Apollo a favor by letting that Russian kill him but he really didnt, clearly, friends.

Pooping on your head :umad:
Not to mention Rocky gave Drago a spine-buster towards the end of the second round
I'm pretty Rocky would get DQ'd for that IRL.
