Undefeated: The 10 greatest fist fight scenes in cinema history

Creed

One could easily say that Creed blew its wad way too early, given that this is the second fight in the film and is far more memorable than the fight against the champ that comes later on in the movie. However, It’s understandable that they’d choose this fight instead — it’s a hell of a lot shorter than the later fight, and it helps to make Creed’s first fight with Rocky in his corner stand out as a huge improvement from the first fight he gets himself into in the film. That said, this fight is an amazing work of technical mastery and choreography from director Ryan Coogler and cinematographer Maryse Alberti. Done in a single shot, it never loses tension or comprehension, and is done subtly enough that, if you’re too wrapped up in the emotions of the moment, you might not even notice it.
