Rock's saving grace was that Will didn't load up heavy, choosing the higher percentage play with quicker strike, giving up power rather than give the smaller man an opportunity to turn away. Will probably enjoys a 50+ lb weight advantage on Rock, so he probably chose not to kill him here. Kudos to Rock for successfully anticipating and absorbing the shot in the little time he had.

Yeah credit to Rock for eating that slap and then doing his job without hardly missing a beat.
