KASPIISK, Russia (May 5) – Frank CHAMIZO (ITA) stopped Russia from putting their tenth straight wrestler into the 2018 European semifinals by sticking Khetig TSABOLOV (RUS). 

The Italian showed why he is the best defensive wrestler on the planet during his second round bout against the Russian 2017 world runner-up. 

Chamizo, who is a two-time European champion was leading 3-0 before using Tsabolov’s high crotch to throw him to his back, ultimately picking up the fall.
