Prediction: If you look at these two on paper it looks like an easy win for Rowston. Finney is only 5’8″ and Rowston is 6’2″. It’s not that clear cut because Rowston may have that size but he doesn’t use it like he should. He also has that tall man’s defense with his hands low asking to get knocked out.
Finney isn’t the most technical wrestler but it’s not needed when you’re a tank. Finney doesn’t even need his hands clasped to lift guys and slam them down like they’re in a WWE ring. Rowston has been taken down by lesser guy so Finney could really throw him around. Rowston could make it difficult on the feet as Finney is limited. All he has is power but that’s all he needs in this fight. Rowston has been knocked out before by a small stalky wrestler in Isi Fitikefu and I think it will happen again. I’m taking Finney by first-round knockout and I’m 70% confident.
