Description:
It’s in the last 30 min. of the movie. It’s between Rocky Balboa (Stallone) and his young up-and-coming wanna-be protege, Tommy ”Machine” Gunn (played by real-life boxer Tommy Morrison.)

Tommy wants to prove that he’s better than Rocky, and goads Rocky into fighting him. That’s where the bearhug comes in.

Plot:
Rocky Balboa is forced to retire after having permanent damage inflicted on him in the ring by the Russian boxer Ivan Drago. Returning home after the Drago bout, Balboa discovers that the fortune that he had acquired as heavyweight champ has been stolen and lost on the stockmarket by his accountant. His boxing days over, Rocky begins to coach an up-and-coming fighter named Tommy Gunn. Rocky cannot compete, however, with the high salaries and glittering prizes being offered to Gunn by other managers in town.
