Why does being tall make your belly more vulnerable in case of an attack?

I (20m) am 6'5" tall. One of my female friends who's 5'5" told me that my height makes my belly particularly vulnerable in case if I get attacked with a pocket knife, for example. Why is it so?

What would be the consequences of a smallsword wound to the belly?

I'm 20, I practice fencing. My height is 192 cm, I usually fence against shorter opponents. They often manage to drive their smallsword into my belly. That’s why I’m curious: what would it be like to get wounded into the belly by a real smallsword? How lethal would it be? How painful? How would I react?

How fatal and painful is it if my belly gets stabbed/ripped open?

If someone suddenly attacks me with a pocket knife, for example, they'll most likely immediately go right for my belly, since I am 6'5" tall, and stab or rip it open. Therefore, I'm curious how fatal and painful such a wound is?
