Sylvester Stallone Predicts Brutal Ending to Rocky vs. Rambo Fight

Robert “Rocky” Balboa and John Rambo were two of the most iconic characters in the 70s played by none other than Sylvester Stallone. The legendary Hollywood actor would see great success with these action franchises mainly due to their iconic main characters.

Rocky was an underdog boxer who rose to the top with sheer hard work and dedication while Rambo was a Vietnam War veteran and a Special Forces Green Beret. Moreover, although the two are fictional characters, many fans have speculated about who out of the two iconic characters will win this fight. However, we might have the answer to this question as Stallone himself revealed who he thinks will win in this hypothetical matchup.

Sylvester Stallone gives his prediction for Rock vs. Rambo

In a recent interview ‘Sly’ broke down a matchup between the two in every aspect. He stated that if the fight was done standing Rocky would have the upper hand. However, if the fight went to the ground Rambo will prevail as the victor.

“If the fighters remained upright [throwing punches], Rocky would prevail. His body punches and right hooks would eventually beat Rambo. If the fight goes to the ground, Rambo will prevail in a bloody, brutal fight to the end.” he said

However, this was not all as Stallone also gave us an insight into how the fight would play out if it wasn’t in the ring, but on the streets

The Hollywood actor claimed that fighting on the street would give Rambo an advantage given his military training. He added that if Rocky doesn’t finish Rambo with his initial shots he would have a hard time fighting the veteran soldier in a no-rules contest.

“Rocky will land the first five or six blows. If that does not incapacitate Rambo, which I don’t think he will unless he’s caught clean. Rambo’s skill set will definitely be on full display. This means an incredibly vicious assault on the eyes, the throat, and every vulnerable part of the body. It will eventually lead to [Rocky] being pulled to the ground and most likely mauled.” he added

According to Stallone a fight between these fictional characters will result in a bloodbath no matter the winner. This only goes to show his vicious mentality which is then directly portrayed in his characters which is why Stallone is considered to be one of the best action stars in Hollywood.
