Judoka Kazbek Naguchev told that he is counting on a longer fight in the final of the FONBET Russian Championship in Kemerovo.
On Thursday, Nagutchev won gold in the weight category up to 66 kg and defeated Rufat Aleskerov in the final of the tournament in Kemerovo.
—You have defeated almost everyone on the field. How have you practiced this and how can your opponents deal with it?
“I can’t say how to fight, they have to find ways.” I have spent a lot of time on the floor since my childhood. I didn’t expect the finale to end so quickly. I know Rufat, he is a strong and impractical opponent. I expected the fight to last longer, but it turned out I caught him making a mistake and ended the fight.
— You changed weight category, going from 73 kg to 66 kg. For what?
— I changed category because at 73 kg I was underweight, since I weighed 70 kg. Summer came, it was hot, my weight started to drop. “I decided to try myself at 66 kg and I don’t regret it,” Naguchev told .
The FONBET Russian Judo Championship will end on October 1. Live broadcasts of the tournament can be viewed on Match Group television channels, as well as on the matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru websites.
