    Well main takeaways from today:
    -Ura keeps trying his move lol
    -Koto has to have gotten injured or something because its like he lost his strength
    -Takerufuji and Hoshoryu are hot on the heels of Kinbozan
    -Despite his weak start Kirishima is really getting into it

With uncle being an equally charismatic and notorious yokozuna, he was entering the ring under a big shadow. He embraced it and it allowed him to flourish once he found his footing. He pulled back on the young rebel persona and is slowly transitioning to the grizzled vet. Now, we just have to see if he stays the barrier to entry or becomes the mountain to be climbed.

    Great Top 5 picks DonDon. Giving the viewers what they want. Thank you.
    There were a few quick matches today.
    A strong attack-minded Takerufuji just beats retreating Abi.
    Hoshoryu very impressive lining up Onosato for the throw. The title is still in his sights. Pity his mini slump mid basho has probably cost his yokozuna chances.
    Hoshoryu vs Takerufuji tomorrow...Hoshoryu favourite imo.
    Great fight between Kirishima and Takayasu. Kirishima staying cool, mixing it up and finally outlasting Takayasu.
    Kinbozan has bounced back so well to still lead. I thought nerves would get to him but he is finishing bouts before he has time to think.
    Kinbozan vs Kirishima tomorrow. Big fight and I have to favour Kinbozan seeing how much trouble Kirishima has with similar sized fighters like Onosato, Terunofuji etc. Can Kirishima show he belongs with the big boys again and prove me wrong (again😂)?
    Whatever happens, the basho is going to be decided on the final day. Looking forward to it.

    Looks like the Takerufuji win should have been Mono-ii - Abi's heel didn't look like it was out on the rope and the push from Takerufuji put the top of his toe on the clay before Abi was out. Toranaoshi

    • @Mark_4_Now

    • @peterkoch3777
      @peterkoch3777 11 днів тому +5

      Takerufuji was in forward, Abi in backward movement. That wasn't even close to Abi winning. The mono-ii was corrrctly decided pro Takerufuji.

    Well i was wondering about Kotozakura He’s injured on his left leg, I read from Japanese fans comments 💔😢😔. Kotokaze today said in his commentary, that because is a kind person, he thinks a lot about silly things like, how he will cause trouble and disappoint everyone if fails to yusho and the tsuna.
    He’s not going kyujo because he’s worried about letting people down

    • @TyVince-p6r
      @TyVince-p6r 11 днів тому

      His career is basically over now. Once they start getting their knees banged up, it's a long downhill fall. Unless he has mental fortitude like Terunofuji, he won't ever make Yokozuna now.

    Kotozakura can't even stand up straight. I don't know why he's been participating the last week or so. Free win for Kinbozan. Kirishima will bring him back to earth tomorrow.
    Hoshoryu still on track to win without really impressing. Big match with Takerufuji tomorrow. The weak era continues.

      @ニック-g1k 11 днів тому

      @ yeah of course. He improvises well and is more consistent lately, but he has to win quick. If it becomes a test of strength, he's usually in trouble. I still remember his bout with Shodai back a week or so ago. He looked like a little child up against an adult. Atamifuji also beat him with power. I still think he is the most likely to win this basho.
