There's absolutely no shame in Murray losing to Rios. We knew beforehand that it was an extremely tough fight to take, that Murray's defence is suspect and that he marks up badly. Murray's a top European level fighter, and was going in with a big-hitting, world level fighter, much bigger than him naturally, and more or less in his own backyard.
The state of his face makes it look like it was completely one-sided, but it only started slipping away from Murray in the mid rounds, he won around three rounds early on before it started slipping away, and there were only really two rounds where you could've said it may've been a bit of a mismatch.
In short, he did better than i thought he would.
