Day 6th. Getting there.
Juryo
Hokuseiho vs Tochimaru - Hoku is 200 cm tall and the height difference was very apparent (similarly to his bout against Chiyosakae). I keep expecting the "little guys" in his bouts fight like the real little guys (Enho, Midori, Terutsuyosh, etc) do. But they don't. And this makes these bouts humorous to watch.
Shimazuumi vs Oshoma - Big struggle!
Kasho vs Kaisei - This was quick. Nice throw. Kaisei is gonna fall behind.
Big WOW for Enho. Great lift.
Ryuden vs Asanowaka - Mono-ii. I couldn't tell either ofc. Ryuden had the initiative all along, but Asanowaka backed quickly and fell later.
Makuuchi
Onosho like a locomotive.
Kotoshoho vs Midorifuji - Almost got the gyoji. But his decision stood.
Tochinoshin vs Kotoeko. Good struggle. Kotoeko was lucky win, and unfortunate to fall.
Aoiyama kinda hairpull? Again, more like just got stuck in a strand, then real pull. But he stepped out first.
Hoshory managed to kill Abi's style by not getting into a pushypushy contest but trying to hold him. Then there was no place to back for Abi.
Ichinojo 6-0. Mitakeumi can be in big trouble. Would be shame to lose his ozeki title.
Takekeisho did good I think. Got Ura on the side in the right moment.
Finally another win for Shodai.
Teru was ready for Tamawashi this time. Parried the pushey then threw him by his arm. Good. He can't let him beat anymore. Well a 10-5 record would be still good I think. He has to spare himself too as the lonely yokozuna.
Ichinojo is still the top rikishi, and Tobizaru on the second place, alone with 5-1.
