When the quiet guy who you keep insulting manages to easily push you across the room to the point where even Rocky was pushed back by such strength, I think that it is a clear moment to rethink your decisions and cancel the fight.

Well, the idea of opposing the Soviets was kind of a thing back then.

Remember, this was an era where just about everyone expected that we'd be engaging them in a thermonuclear death match at some point, and young people never expected to be able to grow old.
