Carl Weathers reprises his wily Apollo Creed. It is all durable and somehow innocent. There are no crooked managers, no manipulating promoters, no mobsters in this boxing crowd...

Butcher's own bank loaned $1 million to the fair; the bank's former chief executive officer and current counsel is a developer of a nearby parking garage financed with $6.3 million in federal money. Butcher's brother-in-law is an owner of a new hotel overlooking the fairground - built with Government-backed bonds - and his investment bank served as the fair's financial adviser...
