Or the loss to the debuting Eddie Trujillo who would go on to amass a 11-8-2 record, never scoring a KO victory.

This was Armstrong's 4th Pro fight by the way. So you'd think the greatest fighter of all time could've managed to whip a guy like that by then, but no.

That being said, I don't think anyone can argue that starting off with losing 4 of your first 5 to then accomplish what Armstrong did is probably the greatest career turnaround in the sports history.
Anybody could go 131-1 fighting guys like Trujillo!!!!!!!!!
