A kid reciting a full Rocky Balboa speech at Sylvester Stallone is the best thing you’ll see all day

This is just the best.

The name Ro Knight might become a household one by the end of Monday.

That’s because the nine-year-old decided to recite one of Sylvester Stallone’s best Rocky speeches to the actor himself while Stallone was in Philadelphia for “Rocky Day” on Sunday.

Knight went viral thanks to the video of him doing the speech — which Stallone instantly recognized and the actor did some of the lines with him — from Rocky Balboa that Stallone delivers to his son in the movie, played by Milo Ventimiglia.

Watch the whole thing below and compare it to the original — and tell me that doesn’t put a smile on your face:

Fox Sports 1 is showcasing two great champions on boxing classic lineup Saturday – Rocky Balboa and Manny Pacquiao.

The programming begins at 9 p.m. ET with the 1982 film “Rocky III,” in which Sylvester Stallone’s character loses the heavyweight title to the Mr. T character Clubber Lang but later – with old rival Apollo Creed in his corner – regains it.

That’s followed at 11 p.m. ET by Pacquiao’s victory over Adrien Broner from January 2019 and, at midnight, Leo Santa Cruz vs. Carl Frampton II from January 2017, in which Santa Cruz regained the featherweight title he lost to Frampton in their first fight.

Pacquiao completed a remarkable 2019 by outpointing Keith Thurman sixth months after the Broner fight.

Santa Cruz successfully defended the title three times and then outpointed Miguel Flores to win a vacant junior lightweight title in November.
