What Happened

Alonzo Menifield's 15-fight experience advantage (19 vs 4 fights) held true, but the algorithm limited the bonus to prevent over-rewarding Alonzo Menifield for the expected result. Had Iwo Baraniewski pulled off the upset, his experience disadvantage would have delivered a modest upset bonus.
