The film Rocky Balboa is a sports drama movie that came out in 2006. It is the sixth installment of the Rocky movie series. In this movie an aging and older Rocky Balboa is living a quiet life. However the current heavyweight champion of the world in boxing is now dominating the sport. One day ESPN does a simulation of legendary boxers and makes a prediction that Rocky in his prime would defeat the current heavyweight champion Mason Dixon. After recovering from his injury from Rocky 4 he is now in good enough condition to fight.
Despite his age he decides to fight Dixon as a final match and to leave the sport for good on his own terms. He fights Dixon and loses by decision after the maximum amount of rounds. However the fans and boxing experts all appreciate his performance.In the beginning of the film Rocky Balboa is still feeling depressed after the death of his wife. He is feeling very down and just lives a quiet life. Unlike the previous installment his financial situation is good and he is healthy. At the same time his son is a working professional in Philadelphia but is a bit at odds with his father due to being liked and favored mostly due to his father’s fame and legacy.
One day Rocky is watching television and ESPN does a simulation on how different boxers would do if they faced the current heavyweight champion named Dixon in their prime. When it comes to Rocky himself, it is revealed that he would defeat Dixon. Since he wasn’t able to end his boxing career on his own terms, he decides to fight Dixon and see what he has left. During the course of the movie a lot of hype in the press surrounds Dixon after he wins his latest match and finds out about a possible match with Rocky. Dixon accepts the challenge and the two boxers train for the fight.

While Rocky is training for the fight he gets his relationship with his son back on better terms. At the time of the fight many people are shocked and amazed at Rocky returning to the ring but nobody expects him to win. However he surprises everyone by fighting very hard and giving Dixon a very tough match. At certain times in the fight Rocky seemed to have the upper hand.
However in the end, Dixon defeats Rocky by decision. Despite the loss, Rocky is congratulated by the fans and receives a standing ovation.

After telling me that he is “done with Creed” because “there’s nothing more I can do there”, he revealed that he “already has a good story” for the next Rocky.
Stallone went on to explain that the story has to do with a “foreign country”.Here’s the full quote:“I have a thing that.it’s politically, you would say, vital right now. It’s that, too. It’s right on the edge.
Also, it deals also with a foreign country. Well, you’ve heard a little bit about it and they want it badly. Yeah and it’s like “Oh. Should I do this?” Because Rocky? Making a Rocky film.
Like Michael B. Jordan goes “I wanna direct Creed.” I go “Think very carefully about this” cause you will now have two years of no life and no guarantee it’s gonna be a hit.Well, there you have it, Rocky fans. It’s very possible that we have not seen the last of Balboa on the big screen. What foreign country is he referring to? Is it Russia? Will Balboa go back to Russia this time to help Ivan Drago train his son? Certainly Stallone mentions that it’s politically vital right now and what country dominates the political headlines more than Russia?
It’s a fascinating answer and certainly one that piqued my interest to know that there is yet one more chapter in the Book of Balboa. Also, Michael B. Jordan told Stallone that he wants to direct a Creed film? So much here to keep an eye on as the future unfolds for both Rocky Balboa and Adonis Johnson.

Here’s the official synopsis for Rambo: Last Blood:Almost four decades after he drew first blood, Sylvester Stallone is back as one of the greatest action heroes of all time, John Rambo. Now, Rambo must confront his past and unearth his ruthless combat skills to exact revenge in a final mission.
A deadly journey of vengeance, Rambo: Last Blood marks the last chapter of the legendary series. Lionsgate in association with Millennium Media presents, a Millennium Media Balboa Productions and Templeton Media production, in association with Campbell Grobman Films, and in association with Dadi Film (HK) Limited.Look for the rest of my interview with Stallone later in the week.
