Day 10 Juryo Kaisei 1-8. How the mighty has fallen. His best was Sekiwake. Won one, he really needs those. He brought back it from the rim. Hiaradoumi had hard time with Hokuseiho. He went forward and gave a good struggle. But only the last move mattered. Now both have 7-3. Enho vs Gonoyama - good struggle. Mono-ii. Enho seemed to be down first. And they decided he was. Oh well. Daishoho got his nose smashed at tachi-ai. It bled so much Gyoji had to stop the bout and do a little first aid. I think that is more uncomfortable than just continue with nosebleed. He just lost anyway. Both got bloody good. Ryuden vs Atamifuji - Atamifuji gave a good struggle against Ryuden, but got defeated. With this victory, Ryuden is at the top of the list, and he also made it into Makuuchi (he won his qualification bout earlier). Makuuchi Big scramble at the top of the list. Many has a good chance for the yusho. Kotoshoho vs Oho - not sure which one I favor. Good win, Midori. Terutsuyosh henka'd Tochinoshin. Nishikigi marches on 8th win. I did not expect that. Tobizaru also pocketed the 8th win. At one point he lost balance, but recovered. Chiyotaru wasn't in the position to exploit it. Wait he even did a hairpull I think. Anyway, he lost. Okay, a win finally for Wakamotoharu. Poor lad, he might have thought he won that yokozuna bout, but his mawashi betrayed him. Hoshoryu smashed Kotonowaka to the clay. He could grab his mawashi, and helped out with his leg to lift him. Abi almost managed to recover, but Kiribayama went in for the last push in time. Endo pulled a nice trick but couldn't recover. After bout Takakeisho looked like he's getting a heart attack as he squatted for the cash. Ura vs Shodai - Potentially every Ura bout is a good bout. Shodai stepped one more towards remaining ozeki. He needs two more. Still 5 days. Doable. Teru simple win. Positive balance now, but he needs more wins for the prestige. Okay. I think those with 6-4 have little chance to be the champion. One among them would need 5 wins, and that's only 11 points. The 8-2s and 7-3s are still in the ring. I think Terunofuji has the best odds. Ichinojo isn't agile enough, Tobizaru is too small, Nishikigi isn't that good and the bouts should get harder. Nishikifuji is too back at M17. The other too whom I count on to be able to pull a good score are Takakeisho and Kotonowaka, but both can bleed out in the bouts with their peers.
