I agree.

Based on the reaction in this thread, I was expecting Dolph Lundgren himself to be fighting. I really don't see the problem with this. Yes, it's a bit cheesy to have a son v. son fight, but this is a Rocky film. Also it's pretty on point right now with what's going on in boxing. The Russians have been dominating boxing, as those USSR breeding programs are coming to fruition.

Also all the stuff with Russia's doping issues plays in here too. Although looking back on Rocky IV, and knowing what I know about Stallone's own drug use, the whole thing is pretty absurd. Jordan still looks believable as a non-drug user.
