Rocky, a Bout with Covid and Trusting God...
Towards the end of the fight scene in Rocky (the original), after being knocked down by heavyweight champion Apollo Creed and floundering on the mat, as Mickey his trainer yells at him to stay down and The Final Bell musical score starts getting louder, Rocky Balboa musters up whatever energy he has left after 14 rounds of pounding, lifts himself up by the ropes, and gets to his feet, insisting to the ref that he was alright.
Rocky is all bloody and has a broken nose. His face is swollen and his eyes barely open. And, he looks at Apollo, who is looking back incredulously and gesturing with both gloves says, "C'mon. C'mon," as if to say, "I ain't going down no more."
The Italian Stallion's body could have thrown in the towel like his trainer wanted but his heart wouldn't let him.
