Maidana is actually the one who's shown he hates it in the body. Khan dropped with a body shot and Alexander hurt him bad with one. If one of them goes down due to body shots, I'm guessing it's Madiana.
Oh no doubt he can get hit and hurt there. Rios has been dealt damage there. Rios actually is pretty concious of taking to the gut but giving up the head is a lot different from the body. I just like Maidana as a much smarter puncher with accuracy there. If Manny isn't shell shocked coming in I think he'll hurt him big time and prob stop him with it.
