Geocache Description:




During Rocky III's intro, Rocky is shown easily defeating numerous contenders in a montage, during which Clubber is shown annoyed at Rocky apparently coasting through his title defenses. A frustrated Clubber decides to begin training to challenge Rocky and largely does so alone, and his methods bring results as he puts together a string of knockouts that makes him the number one contender. He finally goads Rocky, who has become a complacent, dapper gentleman wanting to retire so he can spend more time with his family, into a match, infuriating Rocky by propositioning his wife Adrian at a public event in Philadelphia (just after Rocky announced his intention of retiring).

On the night of the fight, Clubber taunts the champion in the hallway as they are walking to the ring and starts a fracas between the two camps, shoving Rocky's manager and trainer Mickey Goldmill so hard that he suffers a heart attack which later proves fatal (Mickey had shown signs of heart weakness earlier in the movie, and refused to go to a hospital until Rocky came back from the fight). He also angers the former champion by refusing to shake his hand before the fight and challenging Creed to hit him. With Rocky, who did not take his training seriously leading into the fight, now distracted by his trainer's condition, Clubber knocks him out in two rounds to hand him his first defeat since Apollo Creed defeated him in 1976.

Clubber's first defense of his newly won title comes against Rocky, who learns a newer style based on speed and finesse from Creed in training for the fight. The champion, expecting the same Rocky he fought the first time, has trouble with his new style and exhausts himself throwing a barrage of early power punches. With Clubber breathing heavily after the second round of the fight, Rocky exploits his opponent's lack of conditioning and takes control of the fight by knocking out Clubber in the third round.

Lang's career results following the second fight with Balboa are unknown; outside of a replay of the final round in the beginning of Rocky IV, he was not seen in any of the four films that followed. In one version of the script of Rocky Balboa, Clubber was one of the commentators of the Rocky vs. Mason fight.

These caches are in order from what I consider to be Rocky's toughest opponents in order from easiest to toughest. This is up for debate in the logs.
