Saitiev vs Murtazaliev

Saitiev beat Tsargush in semis while Murtazaliev beat Gitinov

Thanks for all the updates, and information. I'm really not interested in gossip like on the other board.

no way!-----------

So Murtazaliev goes to Worlds?

Yes and good bye Buvaisa. No way would Russian coaches let aging Saitiev disturb Murtazaliev sensation in his prime. Remember Farniev? Murtazaliev took him out as well.

Farniev wrestled at 74kg too?

I think he meant a few years ago when Farniev was the defending World champ at 66 and rising star Murtazaliev took him out.

Yes, that's what I meant.

Murtazaliev said in an interview that it was a very difficult match physically for him. He said to beat Saitiev he had to attack first and often because Saitiev is so good offensively and virtually unstoppable if he starts attacking.
