Day 15 lower division results

[Doitsuyama 1,260]

The makushita visits to juryo cleared the promotion riddle nicely as Akiseyama beat Arawashi for the first time to get his sixth win while Tochiyashiki suffered a truly painful defeat as heavy Tokushinho yoritaoshi'ed him to make-koshi. Tokushinho saved his place in juryo and the three remaining promotions (after Ryuden and Kyokushuho) will go to Masakaze, Akiseyama and Homarefuji. Masuraumi could possibly replace the latter, but we will know for sure in a few days; he certainly hurt his chances with todays loss to Seiro while Homarefuji improved to 5-2 against Kihonoumi. Several of the yusho contenders this basho continued to do well with Fujimoto, Buseizan, Sensho and Fukugoriki all winning today to finish 6-1.

Iwasaki and Hamaguchi had another kettei-sen against each other, with Iwasaki again winning the yusho in a long yotsu battle against his heyamate.

Jonidan Yusho Playoff

Jd11e Iwasaki yorikiri Jd10w Hamaguchi

[Vikanohara 171]

Iwasaki and Hamaguchi had another kettei-sen against each other, with Iwasaki again winning the yusho in a long yotsu battle against his heyamate.

Imagine them fighting it out in the Sandanme kettei-sen as well next basho. Would that have happened ever before ?

I would guess that you would need to search for same-heya prodigies that made their debut together to find another example, which doesn't sound very likely, but someone with more experience with the database can probably find out for sure :-)

[Asashosakari 20,287]

Psst...

In any case, IMO Hamaguchi is just some random college rikishi, so I'll be surprised if he even finishes 6-1 next time. Iwasaki has the track record as a solid second-tier college guy (the type you'd regularly see in quarters and semifinals), and according to a keiko comment I've read elsewhere that may or may not actually be true, he's been seen holding his own against fellow Kise-beya rikishi Sasanoyama, which would put him at upper-mid makushita strength at the moment. So another 7-0 seems possible for him, but that really depends on who his opponents end up being. My guess would be 6-1.
