Abrakov (AZE) - Mehki's oppononent


He has a resemblance to Sammy Sasso (tOSU freshman from Pennsylvania) and also technically sound with his go to moves being head outside single and also knows a good cradle.

He won semis pretty handily but had a tough match in quarters from the Russian Betanov. He looks comfortable in upper body locks getting a 4 point throw vs India and a few points from the position vs Russia. Even with 2.5 freestyle tournaments under his belt, I'm sure wrestling Coach Frayer has given him plenty of looks at upper body positions.

From neutral he also likes to fake one hand to the head to get the opponent to put both hands up then shoots under the head and hands defense his other arm to the legs. Mehki did get caught in that once in semis for the only point he gave up, hopefully watching that gets him to adjust with only one hand up and keeping the other low in a good defensive position.

Looking forward to it.
