It was the best match I've seen him wrestle because of it. And Bowman, though a 3rd period wonder, doesn't stand any real chance of being in the finals, and a very, very slim chance of placing; his wrestling, though impressive, isn't all-am impressive, and depends on a totally dominating 3rd period against a worn out opponent...not too likely at that level.

Perhaps if we get enough predictions, we can put together a little contest and declare a winner with a modest prize.
