    Rocky is one of the most iconic movies of all time. Along with winning best picture for new-coming writer, director, and actor, Sylvester Stallone, in 1976, the film inspired 5 sequels and the spinoff film series “Creed” starring Michael B. Jordan. As an up and coming boxer myself, I thought I’d take a look at the work of Rocky Balboa to see if he included medical accuracy in his boxing epic based out of Philadelphia. Carl Weathers playing Apollo Creed, Dolph Lundgren as Ivan Drago… not to mention Mickey, Adrian, Paulie, and so many other characters come into play here as we look at the injuries Rocky sustained and delivered. Specifically we look into broken hands, broken noses, broken ribs, brain trauma and CTE, drinking raw eggs, using raw meat as punching bags, running stairs, “cut-men” steroids, blood doping, hematomas, chasing a chicken for speed training, banning boxing, Cavum Septum Pellucidum, Which Rocky movie is your favorite?

      Fun follow up, the insurance company refused to initially pay out for the injury due to the doctors actually thinking he was in a car accident due to the type of injury. And stunt driving wasn't listed on his movie health insurance. They only agreed to pay after the film director showed them the video of him being hit. And fun fact that clip made it into the movie! It's one of the First hits of the fight when Rocky takes a chest/gut punch and kinda curls up

    The scene with the chicken. My husband pointed out something outside of physical exercise that the chicken exercise does that other standard exercises won't. Increasing speed, endurance, and muscle is important in boxing but so is strategizing and being able to anticipate movements. Chasing a chicken around allows real time training in that aspect. It exercises the brain he says more so than it does the body in that regard, or rather combines the two with muscle memory movements in regards to certain anticipated movements in order to successfully capture the chicken or in the ring, defeat his opponents. They always like to say there is method to the madness lolol.

    The choreography here is so goofy, but I really do appreciate the fact that Sylvester Stallone and Antonio Tarver engaged in legitimate sparring during the filming of the climactic fight. It's just cool to think about an actor who is so dedicated to his craft that he was willing to actually square up with a professional fighter who fought at heavyweight and won light heavyweight and cruiserweight world titles. Most people wouldn't want to go up even against a seasoned amateur from a local gym.

    Interesting fact: the introduction of boxing gloves have had a huge negative impact on the number of deaths and injuries in boxing (as opposed to bare-knuckle boxing) because fighters are able to punch and punch and punch without hurting their hands.

    • @Groundlord
      @Groundlord Рік тому +27

      Precisely. The human body naturally limits itself to avoid self-harm, so any time you punch without the extra padding (or the training to negate that limit) you're going to be subconsciously pulling that punch.
      Once the gloves are on, though? Your subconscious limiters get reduced since you're thinking "Sweet, now I don't have to worry about injuring myself," and you end up punching *harder* as a result.

      Another life lesson: I hope that Mike realizes that the rationale about boxers choosing to accept the risks associated with head trauma also applies to people using potentially dangerous drugs.
      He bristled recently at Ryan Marino’s suggestion of legalizing *all* drugs, but it’s the same concept: you can choose to smoke, drink and box.
      There’s no drug he mentioned which kills more people than cigarettes, so let adults decide for themselves.

      Seriously though, we know the science - literally every time you get punched in the head it's a brain injury. The most significant factor in CTE seems to be repeated sub-concussive impacts, not a few major ones. I.e., it's literally every punch to the head (or every collision in football or even every header in soccer - pro soccer players show a lot of CTE).
      Yeah, there's certain to be some people less predisposed to the injury, or less predisposed to developing Tau protein build up, or less predisposed to tau proteins causing cognitive dysfunction - but anatomy is anatomy and physics is physics: bop the head around, the brain is going to bounce inside the skull. There's no way around that (at least until *massive* advances in biotechnology).

    12:17 - I had hoped you would comment on Dixon's trainer (...and the commentator) when they say that the broken hand "...will numb up on you" in a few rounds and, at that point, Dixon would be able to throw punches very hard with his broken hand. I was hoping to hear the science behind that.

    I had never realized how incredibly demanding on your fitness boxing is until I put some boxing gloves on and started hitting a punch bag. I was completely tired in like 10 seconds. And I have been going to the gym for quite a long time and I'm in a pretty fit condition. Boxing is really demanding on your physique. Much more so than eg. running, cycling or even weightlifting.

    hey Doctor Mike! i just wanted to say i love your videos and i always get a laugh from them, but i also wanted to say that i used to be a boxer (still train boxing but not fighting in competitions anymore as i started to struggle with some minor, but very annoying injuries) I remember this one the best as i actually did what you were talking about when the dude broke his hand, i was tying to land a left uppercut to the body at the end of the first round when my opponent put his hand/elbow down to block and i smashed my thumb into it and broke my thumb, but because of so much adrenaline in my body i didn't feel it so i boxed the for 2 more rounds (this was in armature boxing) and won the fight on points, but could feel something was wrong when i was in the shower after the fight and the adrenaline started to calm down

    11:45 -- that was the thing that happened to Tommy Hearns in his fight with Marvin Haggler. He hit Marvin too high up on his head, and his fist was broken on Marvin's skull bone. That cost Tommy the chance to prolong the fight past 3 rounds. Fighting with a broken hand may be brave, but you got less power after it breaks.

    I’m going to be honest with you Dr Mike.
    I’ve always wanted to be a surgeon or something really good in the medical field. Not exactly sure what they’re called (I’m not even a teen yet, turning 12 this month) but ever since seeing you and Dr Youn. I’ve been so inspired to become a surgeon. I find the body fascinating on how it works. All the tiny stuff to create as we know “humans” and reproduction. On how all this forms in a womb as well as The Who process of how everything works in the whole body in general. It just fascinates me and I hope to become a doctor :) keep up the great work! We appreciate you very much.

    My absolute favorite movie series of all time. I know it's not medically accurate but it's all about the story and what he's been through to get where he's at. The true heart of a fighter. His last line in Rocky 6 is more so referring to life. When life knocks you down, you've got two choices: stay down or get the hell back up. I watched these movies with my daddy who has passed away and I feel that quote in my soul. But if you take that quote literally when referred to boxing then yes, you are not supposed to get hit essentially lol.

    I’ve heard of a different type of “blood doping”. Some athletes go live (and maybe train) in the mountains, where air is rarer. It forces the body to produce more red blood cells to increase oxygen transport efficiency. Then they come back down to compete in sports with that advantage, without having to take drugs that might show up on tests.
