Kyushu basho
Day 2

Juryo
Akua vs. Hitoshi - haha nice roll. On the other hand poor Hitoshi got injured.
Daishoho pushed Onosato hard and far but fell himself. Had to rematch because it wasn't obvious who won. Then Onosato got the point after a strong tachi-ai.
Shishi beat Chiyoshoma. I did not expect this, Chiyoshoma being more skilled I think. Shishi hang on and was persistent, stood his ground and pushed his opponent out.

Makuuchi
Tamawashi beat Tsurugisho easy. The fat lad fell hard.
Whoa. Oho vs Sadanoumi! What a struggle! Oho did a great save at half the match, but couldn't save it in the end. Both fell like trees in storm.
Kotoeko vs Hiradoumi. Another intense match right after. They always fight in good spirit and vehemently. Kotoeko won.
Mitakeumi was defeated by Tummyfuji. Well deserved win he was on the offense from the start.
Hokuseiho vs Endo. Endo knew he shouldn't let Hokuseiho stall the match. Sadly for him, Hokuseiho decided to lean on his neck and push him down to the clay.
Daiesho vs Gonoyama. Very good match both hitting the clay in the same time. Torinaoshi! Daiesho won for the second time wasn't any doubt.
Wakamotoharu was holding ground and grappling with Meisei, slowly but steadily directing him out of the ring.
Takakeisho beat Shodai. Then Hoshoryu Ura. And then the third ozeki (the first one in current ranking) Kirishima beat Abi with a blitz.
