Rocky didn't really win the rematch as much as Apollo lost it. Apollo was way ahead on the scorecards, and would have easily won by decision. Apollo punched toe to toe with him, allowing Rocky to make close enough contact to knock him out. A similar situation happened in a real-life heavyweight fight. On June 18, 1941, Billy Conn was on his way to winning a decision against Joe Louis, the World Heavyweight Champion at the time. During the 13th round, he abandoned the "stick-and-move" tactics (jabbing and staying away) that helped him get and stay ahead, and tried to knock Louis out. Louis landed a right to Conn's jaw resulting in a win for the Champ by KO and thus, he retained the Heavyweight Title.
