St. Petersburg assembles strong heavyweight team including Kornilev and Maslov

St. Petersburg has assembled a notable heavyweight team, potentially the strongest since the legendary Red Devil gym 20 years ago. The roster includes Kirill Kornilev (18-3), Alexander Maslov (12-1), Anton Vinnikov (18-5), Daniil Matsola (7-0), Artem Dushenko at 93kg (6-3), Dmitry Baboryko, a young Greco-Roman wrestling master (2-0), Denis Goltsov (36-9), and Anton Vyazigin (17-6) who regularly attends training camps. Most compete in ACA, which means they will face losses due to the tough competition, but those who succeed there can be considered world-class fighters. Upcoming interesting matchups include Kornilev vs. Tony Johnson and Matsola vs. Khadis Ibragimov.
