Juryo Takakento vs Gonoyama - This was quick. Hard charge right after tachi-ai. Oshoma vs Chiyosakae - Meh. Oshoma got hold the sagari and never let it go. This was a mistake I think. Yago vs Tochimaru - Big pushypushy, then an anti-climactic yorikiri-desu. Kaisei vs Shimazuumi - How Kaisei fell this low. He couldn't even exploit his size. Kaisho vs Churanoumi - This was ok. Mono-ii-desu. Hiradoumi vs Enho - Ouch. When he bends back, you just know he's done. Akua vs. Kotokuzan - Have to be careful with being careful and pulling back the opponent before he falls, not to be too early with that and save him from losing. Atamifuji vs Bushozan - Mono-ii? I thought it was clear. They have different view of the dohyo. Chiyonokuni vs Tokushoryu - Good job, Chiyonokuni Mitoryu vs Daishoho - Good clean yotsu-zumo. Big slap at the start, than hugging till the end. Asanowaka vs Tohakuryu - Asanowaka just can't beat him. The 6th time. Azumaryu vs Kagayaki - Juryo should be easy for Kagayaki, I'm waiting his bout with Ryuden. Ryuden vs Hidenoumi - Long bout, good struggle, Hidenoumi got tired. Makuuchi Yutakayama vs Chiyomaru - Good exploit of momentum. Little push. Nishikifuji vs Oho - I more and more appreciate short named rikishis. Great save by Oho, but couldn't turn the bout over. Tsurugisho vs Takarafuji - Good start, and a good roll over. Terutsuyoshi vs Ichiyamamoto - Terutsuyosh tried a kick, then had to run far. Chiyoshoma vs Midorifuji - Long bout, good struggle, they are very even I think, previous balance of their meeting was 2-2. And mono-ii this time, haha. But Midori won. Chiyotairyu vs Kotoshoho - Chiyotairyu frogge. Meisei vs Kotoeko - Short but sweet. Kotoeko brought this back from a position not many can. Tochinoshin vs Shimanoumi - Tochinoshin did that very nicely. Nishikigi vs Hokutofuji - Nishikigi is doing consistently well, coming from Juryo, stepping further with each basho. Aoiyama vs. Okinoumi - Very intense start and Okinoumi resisted well that pull which sent Shimanoumi down. But then still get clayed. Tobizaru vs Sadanoumi - Very nice win by Tobizaru. Getting his opponent out of balance, then keeping out of him of it, until danced him out of the dohyo. Tamawashi vs Endo - 16-13 at start, they met a lot. Now Tamawash could add one more. He stood the strom in the beginning. And then just pushed. Hoshoryu vs Ichinojo - Both tried to exploit Ichinojo's weight in the beginning. Then one big push from granma, and finish it with a throat/chin push. Wakamotoharu vs Daieisho - Wakamotoharu fell a bit early. Wakatakakage vs Ura - I can say: ufff. Abi vs Mitakeumi - Abi harrassed the ozeki well and far. Takakeisho vs Kotonawaka - That one big slap on the chin! Kiribayama vs Shodai - Shodai turned to his side too much, Kiribayama exploited the chance well. He has less and less chance keeping hist title. Terunofuji vs Takanosho - Teru had a very hard job to regulate Takanosho. But he kept balance. His win depended on a hair. Nice bout.
