Balboa's Back! This time, he's face-to-face with a Russian known for his lethal punch and pulverizing fist. And for Rocky, it's win or die—because there's more at stake than the championship title. Honor, guilt, and patriotism get the Italian Stallion back in the ring and psyched to fight Drago. Balboa's sense of self-reliance and traditional values are put to the ultimate test in this crashing addition to the ROCKY series.
