:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
he's the dude who slammed his hands on the canvas from outside the ring and shouted Nooooo in slow motion

"Throw in the Damn Towel"
RIP
That's my favourite Duke scene :)
Rocky wouldn't be the same without him, limited but memorable scenes.

Get it right fool

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