Never said he wasn't down from a body shot. That does not mean that his defensive style is not a good one.
Do you know what defense is? Do you know that getting hit in the face doesn't mean that you can't at times defend yourself? Have you not seen De La Hoya, Morales, Marquez, Barrera, Sanchez, and Chavez slip and block punches? What planet are you from that being aggressive and taking shots means you have no defense?

If Rios had no subtle method of blocking, parrying, weaving, and rolling with punches whatsoever, the wars he saw with the likes of Antillon and Peterson would have had him knocked out by now.
True; he's no defensive master, don't get me wrong. But nobody can have 0 defense and survive in boxing. Even Margarito tries to slip or block one or two out of every shots thrown by his opponent.
