	Henry Armstrong - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Armstrong started out as a professional on July 28, 1931, being knocked out by Al Sorvino in three rounds.
		After those 22 wins in a row, the inevitable happened: Armstrong was given his first world title try, for the 126 pounds title, Featherweight world champion Petey Sarron defending it against him at the Madison Square Garden.
		After the fouth bout with Arizmendi was a bout with Fritzie Zivic's brother, Eddie Zivic, resulting in another Armstrong knockout win, and after one more bout, Armstrong, the 126 pound division world champion, challenged a fellow member of the three division champions' club, Barney Ross, then world Welterweight champion, for the title.

		It should be noted that Armstrong had two professional fights in July 1931 under the name Melody Jackson (a kayo loss and a decision win), and changed his name to Armstrong when he resumed his amateur career in California.
		Armstrong's straight ahead, wear-him-down style was very effective, but eventually such tactics begin to take a toll on the attacker.
		Armstrong was no longer a championship fighter, but he still held his own against top-10 contenders.
