In ROCKY, Despite Gazzo being selfish, money hungry and sometimes downright criminaL he is also quite caring about Rocky, even lending him money so he can take Adrian out somewhere nice for the first date. He supported Rocky both times during his fights with Apollo and seems to be very proud of him, showing that Gazzo is not all bad. -this is that famed scene we touched on earlier… “Why didn’t you break that guy’s thumb like I asked?” https://youtu.be/4Rogd0yZ-RU
