"Live ain't about how hard ya hit..." The Rocky series is full of perseverance and underdogs winning through the process of never giving up rather than what the scorecards or fight results are. They're about conquering our inner fears, our own weaknesses and horrific boxing choreography.  (Sorry Sly, it's really, really bad) Much like Peaceful Warrior, the movie isn't about winning a contest over someone else, but rather winning it against ourselves - about striving to be the best version of ourselves - about never giving up. Winning from striving. ...and occasionally robotic butlers for some reason. (It also makes me laugh when he says "I shudda broke YER thumbs...")
