How did Henry Armstrong avoid the clinch?

Probably a few uppercuts to the nuts back then helped get guys out of the clinch too, am I right?

There was one great boxer/fighter, who effectively, hit armstrong with stunning short uppercuts, which were damaging. Welterweight title march 31st 1939 with davey day. Read more, on ebay, exhibit boxing card 1933. Davey day vs. Henry armstrong, seller -goldstarstamps. He wouldn't fight day again, nor would any of lightweight champions.
