![]() The next day, Rocky stops by the J&M Tropical Fish pet shop, where he meets Adrian Pennino. Rocky then delivers a vicious barrage of punches, knocking Rico out. In the second round, Rico hits Balboa with a headbutt, leaving a gash on his forehead. Rocky Balboa is fighting Spider Rico in a local boxing ring called the Cambria Fight Club (nicknamed "The Bucket of Blood") inside a chapel. The first film begins on November 25, 1975, in the slums of the Kensington section of Philadelphia. His nickname is "The Italian Stallion", spawning from his Italian-American heritage. Rocky was proud that he never had his nose broken in any of his amateur fighting career. By the end of 1975, Rocky had fought in 64 fights, winning 44 (38 KO'S) and losing 20. Unable to live on the low pay of club fights, and being unable to find work anywhere else, Rocky got a job as a collector for Tony Gazzo, the local loan shark, just to make ends meet. He trained very hard so he could grow up to be like his idol Rocky Marciano. However, it is undetermined how well he actually speaks the language, as his responses are always in English.ĭuring the scene in which Rocky takes Adrianna "Adrian" Pennino skating on Thanksgiving, he tells her, "Yeah – My old man, who was never the sharpest, told me I weren't born with much brain, so I better use my body." This encouraged him to take up boxing. When Rocky is spoken to by his Italian priest, Father Carmine, it is apparent that Rocky understands Italian very well or fluently, including in a scene in which he translates Italian into English for Tommy Gunn. He was the only child in a Roman Catholic Italian-American or Italian immigrant family. Robert "Rocky" Balboa was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on July 6, 1945.

The character is widely considered to be Stallone's most iconic role and is often considered the role that started his film career. While the story of his first film is loosely inspired by Chuck Wepner, a boxer who fought Muhammad Ali and lost on a TKO in the 15th round, the inspiration for the name, iconography and fighting style came from boxing legend Rocco Francis "Rocky Marciano" Marchegiano, though his surname coincidentally also resembles that of Middleweight Boxing Champion Thomas Rocco "Rocky Graziano" Barbella. He is portrayed as overcoming the obstacles that had occurred in his life and in his career as a professional boxer. He is depicted as a working class or poor Italian-American from the slums of Philadelphia who started out as a club fighter and "enforcer" for a local Philly Mafia loan shark. The character was created by Sylvester Stallone, who has also portrayed him in eight of the nine films in the franchise.
