i guess Rios does OK with turning his head at the last second and takes a little off the shot and it looks like hes taking everything flush. I cant remember a guy who get his head snapped back so rough and often as him and after seeing him in person for the first time against Alvarado, I think some of the reason why that happens is because hes turn his head with some of the shots. maybe not a great comparison, but kinda like what Zaragoza used to do when he was older. Obviously he's still takes a ton of other flush punches and doesn't resemble SR in slipping shots, but sometimes when he gets hit it looks worse than it really is.
