St. Petersburg assembles strong heavyweight team including Kornilov and Maslov

St. Petersburg has gathered its strongest heavyweight team since the legendary Red Devil gym 20 years ago. The current roster includes Kirill Kornilov (18-3), Alexander Maslov (12-1), Anton Vinnikov (18-5), Daniil Matsola (7-0), Artem Dushenko (6-3 at 93kg), Dmitry Baboryko (2-0, a young Greco-Roman wrestling master of sport), separately Denis Goltsov (36-9), and regularly Anton Vyazigin (17-6) who trains there on camps. Most compete in ACA, which means they will face losses due to the high level of competition, but those who compile good records there can be considered strong fighters at the world level. Two interesting upcoming matchups are Kirill Kornilov vs Tony Johnson and Daniil Matsola vs Khadis Ibragimov, with Ibragimov also having developed as a professional in St. Petersburg.
