Henry Armstrong Punching Lou Ambers

Original caption: 8/22/1939-New York, NY- As Henry Armstrong drives a terrific left toward Lou Ambers, Ambers covers up from the low blow, one of several that cost Armstrong his title via the decision route in their 15-round lightweight championship fight at the Yankee Stadium. Armstrong lost five rounds on fouls in a grueling battle before 35,000 wildly cheering fans.
