    I'm guessing hes the only fighter who has went down from a body shot by the way people talk about, "hes weak to the body". I'm guessing everyone else just loves to be hit in the ribs.

          I think it's the typical b-scene mindset. Get dropped from a body shot once or twice in your career? You're weak to the body and a wind gust that hits you knocks you down. Get KO'd once in your career? Glass jaw. Lose 3 times in 25 fights? Journeyman bum. Don't come out of the corner in the 9th round because your left eyeball is hanging out of its socket? Quitter and coward. And so on.

              If I remember correctly, Devon dropped him with a body shot too, but it wasn't ruled.

              Just checked, it was the hook did more damage and he didn't lose his footing until he was pushed down.

                he was shown to be hurt to the body in the past, and he could also be perceived as soft to the body more so since he's kinda flabby

                    nah ortiz never dropped him to the body, all knockdowns were from hooks he didn't see coming.
