The famous Esteban was standing next to the figure bathed in light, dumbfounded and furious.
He never expected this would be the man the divine light would choose.
Even Rocky himself was at a loss as to whether he should laugh or cry because, sure enough, the light was shining on him.
While he didn't know why he was chosen, he knew he was not equipped to deal with this situation.
