Day 8
Juryo
Another win for Hokuseiho. 6-2. He needs more muscles.
Jesus, what a save done by Enho. And a win. Yago wanted to go after him and exploit Enho's precarious situation, and that became his loss. He should have stablitize himself, stall the bout a bit.
Good effort by Atamifuji.
I'm not satisfied with Ryuden's form. He brings in the wins, but has a hard time most of the time. He's gonna have a hard time in Makuuchi too.
Makuuchi
Down to 20 bouts, says Nattosumo. Still 36 mins long Makuuchi recaps. It's usually around 30 mins. The fuck?
Nishikifuji +1
Terutsuyoshi vs Shimanoumi - Back and forth. Good win.
First win of Tochinoshin over Midorifuji. On the previous to occasion, the tiny one beat the big man.
Ura quick win against Bulgar giant.
Kotonowaka did good against Ichinojo. Now their balance is the same 6-2.
Hoshoryu vs Kiribayama. Good struggle. They are a good match. Similarly to Wakatakakage.
Who beat Daieisho spectacularly. I think Daiesho frequently targets the chin and face of his opponents.
Takakeisho controlled well Endo, with his usual pushypushy.
Shodai saving his as again. Corrected to 4-4.
Terunofuji vs. Wakamotoharu. Starts at ~24:30, 12 minutes before the end of the video. Goddamn. Indeed a long bout. Whew, Wakamotoharu kept himself well, good tries, gave a good run to Teru for his money. And gyoji fucked it up by distract Teru - which allowed Wakamotoharu to push him out of the dohyo. The face on poor gyoji while the discussion. A very good bout ended with such a shamefur dispray. Restart from the point and position where they were. How exciting, first time I've ever seen such (not that I watch this thing for long tho). The audience also enjoyed the moments of rearrangement. After restart, Teru put Wakamotoharu out of the dohyo quickly. Ayy.
Now many 6-2. At half way in the basho.
I dl'd the vid of the day, gonna try separate out yokozuna bout. Or just search it on yt, I'm sure someone uploaded just that.
