Likely not in abdome: Pain likely due to inflammation in rib cage called costochondritis and not in the abdomen.

Let me explain?: Blow to that area could cause what we call injury to the junction of the rib and sternum, this call osteochodrits, this could go chronic, other reasons are many, like mild injury the liver you get checked by doctor.
