When he offers Lang a handshake, the latter slaps away Creed's hand and mockingly insists that he "don't want no has-been messin' in my corner." He further says, "You want to jump? Jump. Come on, Creed." When Creed walks away, stunned at this rude display from the belligerent challenger, Lang laughs at him and calls him a "chicken." This prompts Creed to tell Balboa to "give everybody a present and drop this chump." Following the match, in which Lang wins by a brutal second-round knockout, Balboa's beloved manager, Mickey, dies in the locker room. Determined in part to put the disrespectful brute in his place, Creed finds an apprehensive and bereaved Balboa at Mickey's gym. Despite hesitating at first, Balboa agrees to let Creed train him for a rematch against Lang, who laughs off the prospect of "one has-been teaching another" during a television interview. The pair subsequently travels to the "Tough Gym" in 771:. Creed mentions that Rocky will owe him "a big favor" once he wins. He does not specify what that favor will be. Rocky's training is geared toward making him quicker and more agile to counter the larger, stronger brawler. Creed teaches his own fighting style to Rocky. Rocky has trouble concentrating during his training, suffering from guilt over Mickey's demise and self-doubt. Adrian helps Rocky recognize this as a simple fear of losing again and convinces him that he can't let fear control his life and that he has to fight again, not to prove a point but to live without fear. Rocky agrees and begins to put his fear aside. Creed helps Rocky rediscover the fire that had won him the title, and which he had lost in the time leading up to the Lang fight. Creed calls this fire the "eye of the tiger." 734:
knocked down. By the final round, Creed is well ahead on points but is fatigued, and it is apparent that he cannot knock Balboa out. Creed takes a beating from Balboa. Not wanting a repeat of the first fight (and ignoring the pleas of his trainers), he vows to knock Balboa out rather than take the safer route by winning on points. At the beginning of the 15th round, he tells Rocky, "You're going down," to which Balboa replies, "No way." After going toe-to-toe for much of the final round, Creed is knocked down by Balboa, with Balboa falling down in exhaustion as well. Balboa gets up by the count of 9, but Creed is unable to pull himself up and is counted out, losing the match and the championship by knockout, his first professional loss.
730:, accept the rematch. Creed taunts Balboa at the press conference, insisting that he would "drop him like a bad habit" and telling Balboa as he leaves, "Come November, you're mine!" In a press interview during training, he also insists that Balboa "cannot last five minutes in the ring with a superior athlete like ." Creed trains harder than ever before with the intention of punishing Balboa for the embarrassment he caused 11 months earlier. Mickey trains Rocky to become faster, including using unusual methods like chasing and catching a chicken. He also instructs him to change his boxing stance from left-handed to right-handed to confuse Creed and to protect his damaged right eye. 974:. The fight presents many parallels to Rocky and Apollo's original fight, with Donnie assuming his trainer's role. Conlan presents an unrelenting attack on Donnie, in which he knocks him down. After a less-than-stellar introductory round, Donnie finally manages a right hook strong enough to cut Conlan by surprise. In the 11th round, after an intense flurry, Conlan manages a strong shot that seemingly knocks Donnie unconscious. While down, Donnie sees visions of his relationship with his girlfriend, Rocky's ailing composure, and finally, a scene of his father in his prime – motivating Donnie to return to his feet (and baffling Conlan and the audience). 1005:

The match is billed as "Creed vs. Drago II" and will be held at MGM Grand, the same place where Ivan killed Apollo, with many speculating it could end the same way. Ivan meets Rocky and taunts him by saying Viktor will break Donnie just like he broke Apollo. Rocky, who is still burdened by guilt over not stopping Apollo's match with Ivan, encourages Donnie to refuse the match. But Donnie insists on proving himself, so Rocky refuses to train him. During the weigh-in, Ivan mocks Donnie for being shorter than Apollo.
830:, Apollo enters the arena from a descending scaffold overhead, dancing to the music in his old red, white, and blue Uncle Sam outfit. With Rocky, Duke, and Paulie in his corner, Apollo is overly confident that he can dispose of Drago with ease. However, Apollo is not ready for the extreme size and strength of the Russian. After taunting Drago and landing a number of ineffectual punches, Creed is pummeled badly in the first round. Rocky wants to stop the fight but Apollo refuses. Apollo adamantly tells Rocky not to stop the fight "no matter what!" 978:
that, though he's never had the chance to thank Apollo for stepping in when Mickey died, it does not match what he's done for him and that he loves him. In the closing seconds of the fight, Donnie finally unleashes a style that is comparable to his father's and Rocky's, and manages to knock down Conlan for the first time in his career. A split decision determines Conlan the winner of the fight, and gives Donnie the ultimate respect, telling him that he's "the future of this division." During the post-fight interview,
