Cosce vs Rowe Analysis and Prediction

Orion Cosce (7-0) vs Phillip Rowe (7-3)

Welterweight (170)

Orion Cosce

The new Artem Lobov? Appearing on the same week of the GOAT’s retirement? The stars have aligned for a new fan favourite manlet to arise. The Team Alpha Male prospect impressed in his DWCS debut. After trading heavy shots in the first two rounds, Cosce eventually ground down Matt Dixon on the mat and landed brutal ground and pound. He does tend to just shell up in the pocket, however, and is a prime target for an uppercut through the middle.

Phillip Rowe

First things first, Rowe suffered on the scales – perhaps an issue that will plague him later in the fight. Regardless, Rowe boasts a 10″ reach advantage with solid striking and surprisingly adept wrestling. Unlike Cosce, however, Rowe tends to slow over the fight and it will prove an issue against Cosce’s relentless pressure. While it can be difficult to get inside Rowe’s length early due to the wild volume he throws, his preference for short shots on the inside means he negates one of his greatest advantages.

Predicted Result: Cosce Decision

Rowe boasts a 10″ reach advantage with solid striking and surprisingly adept wrestling. While it can be difficult to get inside Rowe’s length early due to the wild volume he throws, his preference for short shots on the inside means he negates one of his greatest advantages. Moreover, as Rowe tires over a contest, Cosce maintains a harsh pace throughout the entire contest. Artem Lobov 2.0 is at risk when he shells up in the pocket, especially to one of Rowe’s punishing uppercuts, but he should be able to wrestle his way to victory after a scary first-round.
