I think he played the role of the "Fatherless Black Kid with a chip on his shoulder" quite well. He wasn't supposed to be as well-rounded and articulate as Apollo was, especially considering his background.

I came into this movie with a completely open mind, meaning I didn't want to get caught up in comparing it to the other Rocky films. A pretty decent standalone film.
