...Somehow Ambers kept on his feet through that round, and the seventh-and the eighth and the ninth and the tenth. The crowd went crazy. By the 13th. when he plainly got the better of Armstrong, who by this time was swinging wildly and forfeiting rounds because of low blows, the Garden was yelling for a game fighter. After the 15th round, when Referee Billy Cavanagh held up Armstrong's arm in victory (a decision boisterously booed from the gallery), Henry Armstrong was so exhausted that he probably could not have pronounced his own title: World's Featherweight...
