Created by world renowned artist
Giovanni Schoeman, this highly-detailed sculpture titled
"Rivals" depicts Rocky Balboa vs. Apollo Creed
during a climactic moment in Superfight II.
Schoeman's piece, a plaster cast
painted with bronze enamel, is stamped with the United
Artists copyright and is signed by the artist as well as
both Sylvester Stallone and Carl Weathers. A limited
edition line of these sculptures was produced in 1979 as
collector's pieces - its image even appeared on an unusual
alternate poster for Rocky II which advertises both
the film and some of Schoeman's Rocky creations.
