Tommy “The Machine” Gunn is the secondary antagonist in Rocky V. Originally from Oklahoma, Gunn travels to South Philadelphia to seek training from Rocky. Despite having a very short temper, he is accepted by Rocky as a protege. 
Gunn progressively advances in the ranks in the boxing world, at the cost of Rocky’s relationship with his son Robert. Because he has no formal agreement with Rocky, Gunn is easily lured in by George Washington Duke’s money.
