Yo Adrian, the Italian Stallion is back in the ring.

Amazon MGM brought a teaser of “I Play Rocky,” a drama about the true story behind the tumultuous making of the 1976 boxing classic “Rocky.” Anthony Ippolito, best known for “The Offer,” portrays a young Sylvester Stallone, perfectly channeling his mumbly delivery, hunched over posture and lumbering sweetness. Seriously, it’s uncanny.
