Vikanohara 171 Posted January 16, 2012 Well, Sumo Reference seems to be down at the moment. It's up for me at least. (always up for me...) I suppose it must only have lasted a couple of minutes. Perhaps to add the 'hide results' option ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Doitsuyama 1,259 Posted January 16, 2012 Well, Sumo Reference seems to be down at the moment. It's up for me at least. (always up for me...) I suppose it must only have lasted a couple of minutes. Perhaps to add the 'hide results' option ? The results page may not have worked for a few seconds while uploading the new stuff, but the upload was six minutes after your post so this wasn't it.

Borislav 4 Posted January 16, 2012 I'll be a few hours late with the video today. We have a great alternative now so no problems.. What alternative? whatever it is i bet it doesn't match up on the humour :) but don't worry about being late or even not making one at all, as much as i enjoy your excellent compilations i know they are a luxury and treat them as such, i haven't become spoiled i promise! (Showing respect...) they must take a lot of effort to make for which i am very grateful. Edit* as i write this you post them, awesome! off i go to watch :) Check out the youtube channel of araibira. He posts almost everything, starting from the lower divisions. Today he had posted about 100 videos - amazing work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nice :) with Hakuho so dominant, do you guys think he will be the lone Yokozuna for years to come? or is it likely we will have another yokozuna soon?

chabonowaka 2 Posted January 17, 2012 finally getting back into things after a couple of years away. a couple of things: first, thanks moti! second, who was doing all of the grunting during the tochinoshin-toyohibiki bout? sounded like a bear. third, after my time away, now coming back, one of the things i have noticed is that miyabiyama has finally become the fetid, bloated carcass that kintaro always said he was. age? injuries? needs to lose 20kilos? finally, again, thanks moti!

Jejima 1,488 Posted January 17, 2012 third, after my time away, now coming back, one of the things i have noticed is that miyabiyama has finally become the fetid, bloated carcass that kintaro always said he was. age? injuries? needs to lose 20kilos? The Miyabiflobmonster is now weighing 186 kgs (according to the Nihon Sumo Kyokai 'Who's Who'). Looking at Sumo Reference, this is his peak weight, but he has weighed over 180 kgs for the past 6 years. His lowest weight in ozumo was 171 kgs - so perhaps 20 kgs is too much for him to lose - maybe 5 kgs? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kintamayama 47,194 Posted January 17, 2012 second, who was doing all of the grunting during the tochinoshin-toyohibiki bout? sounded like a bear. Hugh Grunt? Seriously, I'd go with Toyohibiki, but I'll check their bouts today and listen.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bugman 384 Posted January 17, 2012 (edited) Watching Hakuho lose is an odd feeling for me, like watching something infallible fail, or the sun not rising one day :) well done kakuryu it was a fantastic win, nice to see Aoiyama have a good win too, that was more like his previous effort in the last basho. Regarding the Kisenosato - Kotoshogiku match, was that a henka? i'm looking at sato's feet and he doesn't seem to go sideways till after the tachi-ai, at least as far as i can see. Edit* ah wait, he does move sideways a little doesn't he? you're right Kintamayama i wasn't expecting that from Kisenosato.

Yubinhaad 11,959 Posted January 17, 2012 That half-time bonus bout with the non-matta got me thinking about a hypothetical matta scenario, which I fully admit is unlikely. If the 'victim' of a matta should be hit hard enough to be sent flying off the dohyo, get injured and is unable to participate in the bout, what happens? Surely the rikishi who committed the matta wouldn't be awarded a fusensho? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chabonowaka 2 Posted January 17, 2012 well, i see your point then, but still, he looks absolutely terrible. and i'm not talking about just his sumo, he just looks awful. but i guess that's at least part from being 175kg at the age of 34, vs the age of 23, when he handled the weight much better. third, after my time away, now coming back, one of the things i have noticed is that miyabiyama has finally become the fetid, bloated carcass that kintaro always said he was. age? injuries? needs to lose 20kilos?

Kuroyama 715 Posted January 18, 2012 (edited) The mother of all non-gachinko bouts: Takekaze's embarassing non-win against Miyabiyama. (Sign of approval...) It took a whole lot of work to lose that one, didn't it? But why? Miyabiyama is obviously not going to remain in sanyaku anyway, but he's also obviously not going to drop out of the division. I can't figure out what anyone gets out of it. Edited January 18, 2012 by Kuroyama Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
