For his SP1 punish you've got a get the spacing just right. You want your spacing to have him swing the rock right by your face without hitting you before he throws it. If you go back further than that you'll have a hard time punishing, if you can at all.
Obviously punishing his heavy is easier, but I imagine the chip damage is pretty insane, right? Instead of letting him hit into your block to bait the heavy, flip it around. Hit into his block a couple times, then hold your block. It's not perfect, but should be able to bait some heavies while significantly reducing the chip damage through your own block.

How do I get around the unstoppable? Those nodes are a pain to read and comprehend or is it just his kit?

The unstoppable is in his kit. Every 15 hits in a combo triggers it, so just watch your combo as you get close. There's a grit that you get when you complete a role force which will help, but watching your combo will be most helpful.

Try to push him rosp2 it's easy to punish

I normally block bait heavy at the start multiple times until I get the first charge. Depending on the AI and your spacing you can get him to throw a heavy without even getting hit into block (hugely AI dependent).

Block penetration is also lower at the start of the fight. Once you have your first charge, grit is going to refresh more freely, then it's a case of pushing him to an sp2 to punish as often as you can since as already mentioned it is easier.

Use your specials and striker to help you get from 1 bar to 2. Shortening combos when he is at 1 bar often helps because defenders often throw a special right after the full combo enders (second medium, fourth light).
