		Ambers faced the sternest challenge to his title when he met the feather- and welterweight champion, Henry Armstrong, in Madison Square Garden in 1938.
		Although Ambers recovered sufficiently to gash Armstrong's left eye and mouth, Armstrong continued to fight, swallowing blood so that the damage to his mouth would not be apparent enough to force the referee to stop the fight.

	Rounds
		Ambers failed to show sufficient punching power to dislodge the chunky Boston Italian from his feet but the flashy up-state boxer had his opponent dizzy from a two-fist fire, from start to finish.
		Ambers, on the Associated Press score sheet, took 12 rounds, all except the third, seventh and 15th, and satisfied a crowd of 10,000 that he is one of the best lightweight prospects developed in years, despite the fact he is only 20 years old and has had less than 50 professional fights.
		Ambers will be offered a match with Tony Canzoneri, former holder of the lightweight title, but may refuse it in preference to waiting for an outdoor match with Barney Ross for the title.

		In this battle Hammering Henry retained his heavier title only because it was expressly understood in advance of the bout that because Armstrong would be compelled to weigh down to 135 pounds or less, it would not be reasonable to have the 147-pound title ride on the result.
		The decision by which Armstrong was shorn of his lightweight title by Ambers in August created widespread controversy because the result came in a rough-house bout in which Armstrong lost by foul penalties, while Ambers, equally guilty, went unpenalized.
		A bout in which Lou Nova knocked out Max Baer in eleven rounds last June was telecast from the Yankee Stadium in New York with moderate success.
