life - although it's emotional, knock out, funny, rollercoaster, but you can be champion; if you believe in yourself :')

as we all know in life it can literally knock us out, but if you're willing to get up and not give up then you will overcome your obstacles and succedd. you will win. and what's really made me see and understand this is the movies series Rocky, i never knew how inspiring a movie could be, and tell a real life story.  yes it is about boxing but it is also about how one man who can from nothing, but triumphed in the game of boxing. no, in life you can't always win, but what can win over anything is your heart. in sports (and life) especially because, yes people talk a lot of trash, but if you fight for the love of the game (or life) and not the hatred of your opponent, you will always win. 

 in the end, only love drives the heart, and only love conquers. this part of the series really gets to me: during the training sequence, Rocky is seen doing exercises such as chopping wood, lifting rocks, running in the snow, and climbing a mountain filled with snow, while Drago is seen in an ultratechnological training facility running on treadmills, utilizing weightlifting machines, and injecting steroids to boost his strength.

 as you notice later in the movie is that Drago was used as and experiment, and used to basically fight for his country, and to win as well. but then later he realizes that and renounces that he "fights to win, for me." (thus being defeated by Rocky and all the steroids.) during the fight itself, Rocky takes the worst beating of his life, but refuses to fall, eventually winning over the foreign crowd with his display of courage and determination, and he knocks Drago out with seconds left

in the final round. in rocky's winning speech he says, "if i can change, and you can change, everybody can change." rocky is saying people tend to accept a lifestyle that they aren’t totally content with, when in reality they can change their life in whichever way they please.

as seen Rocky IV, during Rocky Vs. Ivan, although ivan was big and strong, rocky has a herculean heart and through all the Rocky movies, his oppenents were bigger, stronger, and maybe smarter than him; but his heart was bigger than all of that combined and nothing can defeat that in a lifetime.
