After running 6 consecutive draws in this matchup I knew it was going to come down to some peculiar judging or freak event.
Tough luck for NKM but it didn't look like he was going to be able to beat Bowtwanger the way things were shaping up.
Another unexpected exit by a high level manager.
Kudos to Bowtwanger who advances to the 2nd-round, I believe, for the first time. NKM is still searching for CIT success.
