Rocky Balboa is a small-time boxer who lives in an apartment in South Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and his career has so far not gotten off the canvas. Rocky earns a living by collecting debts for a loan shark named Gazzo, but Gazzo doesn't think Rocky has the viciousness it takes to beat up deadbeats. Rocky still boxes every once in a while to keep his boxing skills sharp, and his ex-trainer, Mickey, believes he could've made it to the top if he was willing to work for it. Rocky goes to a pet store, and this is where he meets a young woman named Adrian, who is extremely shy, with no ability to talk to men. Rocky befriends her. Adrian later surprises Rocky with a dog from the pet shop that Rocky had befriended. Adrian's brother Paulie, who works for a meat packing company, is thrilled that someone has become interested in Adrian, and Adrian spends Thanksgiving with Rocky. Later, they go to Rocky's apartment, where Adrian explains that she has never been in a man's apartment before. Rocky sets her mind at ease, and they become lovers. Current Undisputed World Heavyweight Champion Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers) comes up with the idea of giving an unknown a shot at the title. Apollo checks out the Philadelphia boxing scene, and chooses Rocky. Fight promoter Jergens gets things in gear, and Rocky starts training with Mickey. After a lot of training, Rocky is ready for the match, and he wants to prove that he can go the distance with Apollo. To prepare for the fight, Rocky trains with 1920s-era ex-bantamweight fighter Mickey Goldmill, (Burgess Meredith), while Rocky's best friend Paulie (Burt Young), a cold-storage worker, lets him practice his punches on the carcasses hanging in the freezers.
Apollo meets Rocky at a press conference and takes Rocky for a joke, but still respects his capabilities. Rocky doubts himself of beating the champ, but still has a little confidence inside him. The fight is set for January 1, 1976, at the Philadelphia Spectrum. Rocky comes out into the crowd, and gets cheered by the crowd. The crowd goes crazy for Apollo as he enters with his Uncle Sam outfit, throwing money onto the crowd. Rocky and his trainer Mickey look on and make fun of his theatrics.
Rocky fighting Apollo Creed.Apollo enters the ring, and is greeted by former boxing champion Joe Frazier. Frazier makes an appearance because Philadelphia is his hometown. Apollo says to him that he is next. The fight begins and Apollo dances around a couple of times, then starts to jab the face of Rocky. But after a while of punishment, Rocky swings at Apollo with a left hook that knocks down Apollo, who quickly gets back up on his feet and is furious.
Subsequently Apollo takes the fight seriously and destroys Rocky completely with numerous roundhouse punches, dozens of shots directly to the head, more blood than would ever be allowed to flow in a title match. However, Rocky broke one of Apollo's ribs in the later rounds, and Apollo was beaten up before he was saved by the final bell. At the end, Apollo wins (by split decision) but Rocky gains world fame, as he lasted all 15 rounds and became a great true underdog story.

the buzz around the movie have been circulated from 2003 but the project has so many challenge along the way. rumour said that lundgren has offering himself rematching rocky but stallone turned down the offer. another rumour said that stallone comes up with the idea of rocky opens a boxing school for teenagers and must deal with a gang of criminals.
I think if that's the future storyline of rocky vi, i won't see it. rocky series supposed to be ended with rocky iv. that's the best rocky film ever.
