Sylvester Stallone Speaks Out After 'Brilliant' Carl Weathers' Death: 'Apollo, Keep Punching'

'Apollo, keep punching,' Stallone told his late 'Rocky' co-star.

Hours after news of Carl Weathers' death broke, Stallone took to Instagram to share an emotional tribute to his Rocky co-star. In the video, Stallone spoke in front of a brightly-colored painting, which showed him and Weathers boxing, explaining that he was doing so because "it was probably the last moment we were ever in the ring together, and I'll never forget it." The character became a central figure in the franchise, with Weathers reprising the role in Rocky II(1979), where Creed engaged in a title rematch with Balboa.
