The ring had thirteen stars in it to represent each of the thirteen original colonies of America. The thirteen colonies of North America were British settlements along the east coast. They joined together to form the original states of the United States. They included New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia.

The final fight, between Creed and Balboa, was filmed in reverse order. It started in the fifteenth round, with both Sylvester Stallone and Carl Weathers in heavy make-up. Gradually the make-up was slowly removed until the first round was reached. As a result of this innovative approach to filming, 'Rocky' won an Oscar for Best Film Editing.
