Boykins avoids a guillotine attempt easily.
Owens trying to punch from his back but it's not doing any damage.

Owens has managed to work for a loose triangle. I think Boykins should be able to defend this one pretty easily though. Oh, Owens has tightened it up now! Boykins should have reacted faster there - he's in big trouble and yes, he's tapped out! This one is all over!

Ladies and gentlemen, after 4:58 of round 2, we have a winner by way of Submission (Triangle). Tim Owens!
