<P> By the start of the second round , Drago pummels Creed with ease . Rocky again tries to stop the fight by throwing in the towel . Apollo tells Rocky not to stop the fight , giving Drago a chance to deliver a fatal blow ( as Rocky drops the towel causing the fight to stop ) to Apollo , who dies in Rocky 's arms in the middle of the ring . Drago wins by technical knockout . </P>
