The backdrop says "charity exhibition"; is that the case or does the fight represent the heavyweight championship?

Really nice shot. Dixon doesn't look too happy. Couple cracks to the jaw might fix it.

Peace,

hey sly! greetings from frankfurt germany! we are very proud that ur making the 6th rocky cause we love the whole collection!!
go ahead! we hope there will be a happy end! please don't die in the movie! u are such a strong person! dont end like apollo and micky! u have to fight against the death and for the life and that u get rich again and live in a villa and drive two lamborghinis! dont forget that u have promised your son to buy all the things back that u have lost, because of a big mistake from paulie. we love ur lamborghini and the robot! what happened to buttkiss??! where is the dog?? we think that u should integrate a cat called shushu. that would show ur sensitive side.
stallone... or rocky (who are we talking to?! damn!)
i think we should end our opinion! cause it's getting longer and longer and longer and longer.. haha. maybe we will go on with the next photo ;)

I'm loving ALL the new still photos obviously, but why aren't there LARGER options to download?
This pic is brilliant but way too small and it's hardly a spoiler by having a larger image.
We're all going to see the film - so a larger image can't hurt until the premiere.

I can not wait to see this movie. My nephew who is only 3 1/2 loves all the Rockys, and he's gonna come with me when this one comes out. In fact for his next b-day, he's having a Rocky party. Don't suppose there's any chance of getting Sly to come out to Philly for one day is there?? His b-day is Feb 5th just to throw that out there. This movie is gonna kick a**! Can't wait, love ya Sly!

Anyone catch the sign in front of Paulie? It looks like it says Paulie Pennina....however it should be Pennino...whats up with the obvious flaw?

I am pysched for the movie though...its a great story and a great way to end it all. He is an inspiration to many.

I DID catch that! Why such an obvious flaw? It IS "Pennino."

Oh well. Sh*t happens...

Perhaps this time, Rocky will prove to us all that he actually knows how to block and use his guard. :) With more realistic fight scenes, this movie will blow peoples minds.

Haha, thats no news to those of us who have actually watched the official trailer. You should watch it too. Some kind of promotor-guy called it "a first class exhibition fight". So...

So I guess with this being a "Charity Bout"--even if he wins--he doesn't get to retire (or end the series) with any real financial gain?

Should be an interesting story...

LOL, it has a golden boy promotions sign at the back, is Oscar De La Hoya promoting it??!?!?

im sorry, but i didn't got that out, that it is a charity fight. So, it all makes sence to me, rocky will win the fight, and that is why he also says in die end "it's never over", "that problem is seventies" HAHA the series won't end guys ! be prepared, i told you !

This is the most inspirational movie of all time! Inspiration is the word. It just goes to show that age is just a number. I love sylvester stalone with that awesome hat only he can sport it off!

Ok this is what I think will happen...First of all Anyone who bought SLY magazine last year knew this was an exibition fight! Now I think Rocky Will lose on points because the Champ Dixon is actually a Good Guy. So remember what I said. Rocky will win lose on points but of course it'll be a great fight. The ending, my sources have told me that it will end with Him talking to adrian on her tomb as a voice Narrates the final seconds...
God Bless

p.s...My sources are REAL!

One thing I have never read mentioned in any blog or write-up on the Rocky films is the phenonmenal audience reaction. I have never seen an audience lose its collective cool as it invariably does during the fight scenes at the end of every Rocky film...corporate madness, with people out of their seats, jumping up and down in the aisles, screaming, pounding the seats, hugging the person in the next seat, whether they know them or not! And, in the days before VCR's, I saw the first and second films in theaters over and over with different audiences...the reaction was always the same. Gee, I hope it happens again! :-D

I saw Rocky I through V in the theaters and I will see Rocky Balboa, too! I also own Rocky I-V on video cassette. I was in boxing, powerlifting, football, wrestling, etc. during middle and high school (I graduated in 1986) and the Rocky series gave me motiviation all the way through! Now as a 38 yr old he is motivating me again! Go for it, Rock!!
