Juryo Asanoyama won the yusho in juryo yesterday. Isn't much of a surprise. I think he has to go another round to get back to Makuuchi, since he started from 12th place. He got Hokuseiho as last opponent, who is big but not very experienced or skillful. He got beaten by the ex-ozeki. Still 9-6 to him too, and will move up to Makuuchi from the 2nd place. This match with Asanoyama got him a taste what he can expect from the grown ups. Terutsuyoshi got beaten by a bloke from Makushita. Shamefur dispray. He either lost his mojo, or has health problems, srsly. Roga vs Gónoyama. Latter was unstoppable. Both ended up with 9-6. Which isn't bad. Daishoho 12-3 Shonannoumi got his 12th win too, over Kinbozan, who did good generally all basho and finished with 11-4. Enho. This bout decided if he could get in Makuuchi, since gathered 7 wins and 7 losses up to this day. And he couldn't. Lost the bout, got flattened in the ring, pushed down by Hideonumi, who secured kachi-koshi with this win. Bushozan got blodied how Takakeisho do.
Makuuchi Takakeisho or Kotoshoho? That was the main question. For the ozeki to win the yokozuna title, it is imperative to win championships. Poor Oho, with 3-11. He got beaten left and right. Got Kagayaki as opponent, and beat him with intense fight, righting up the result to 4-11. Kagayaki left with 7-8. Not sure if he gets relegated from the 12th. I don't think so. But he has to remain strong next basho. Haha, those Ura fans with Ura fans. Midorifuji got lost to Mitoryu. Maybe the little man got tired by the end. 6-9. Gonna step down a few. But solid Makuuchi material. Abi kachi-koshi.
