My pick is Abdvali. He is beast! Like a pitbull.
no surprise, I said in another thread, Russian Greco wrestlers are one dimensional, no matter who is their opponent, World Champion Abdevali or an unkown Armenian (Albiev lost to an Armenian in his last chance). they still go to par terre, and sometimes they loss, Anything can happen with these rules.
don't get me wrong, I'm not underestimating them, they are the best in par terre position.
The organizers of the upcoming Pytlasinski tourney put him even on the poster. ))) Well this not the best photo they could pick.
