Rocky wouldn't be the same without him, limited but memorable scenes.

I remember him saying something like "lets get rid of this bum and go home early tonight".

[Mark TKO]

Now finish this bum and let's go home


Get it right fool

There was also a scene with him running some old decrepit, filthy boxing gym filled with hoodlums and pimps. Apollo had taken Rocky to that dump to train after Rocko lost to Clubber Lang.

Rocky had lost his eye of the tiger and had to gain it again in the gym.

Exactly. I don't think filthy conditions make you any more a hungrier fighter than training in more modern facilities.
