An important plot point in the film is Rocky's feelings of responsibility and guilt for not stopping the fight when Apollo Creed was killed in the ring by Ivan Drago in Rocky IV (1985). However, the writers chose to omit the fact that the referee attempted to stop the fight, but was thrown aside by Drago who continued to hit Creed, and ultimately killed him in the ring. So even if Rocky had thrown in the towel, it seems doubtful that Drago would have stopped fighting just because Rocky threw in the towel, since he already completely ignored the referee's attempt to stop the fight.
