Cincinnati Goes Toe to Toe with Houston, Gets Knocked Out Cold in 15th Round

Houston 40 Cincinnati 16

That game reminded me of the Rocky Balboa-Apollo Creed fight in the first Rocky film. We knocked the champs down in the First Round. We hung on with a narrow lead until late in the fight.

In the original Rocky film, Creed emerges with a split-decision victory.

In the Cincinnati-Houston version of the film, Creed comes out at the start of the fifteenth round and knocks Rocky out cold, then proceeds to ground and pound him UFC style. Come to think of it, the fourth quarter of the Cincinnati-Houston game looked something like the CM Punk-Mickey Gall fight the other night.
