bennyloh 0 Posted May 24, 2004 (edited) :-P The competition is over now there is still one bout that I remember. This is on day 14 Kai-o Vs shoryu, splendid display by both.*** Kai-o raises his right leg high aiming at the inner thighs of Shoryu while lowering his head (Can someone please help me with the name of this throw) Shoryu jumped, avoided the right leg, almost got thrown, but instead did a perfect counter throw on kai-o (making sure he lands on his back properly) ***Kai-o was trying a kake-nage, the closest that I can come up with.

bennyloh 0 Posted June 20, 2004 B-) Yes, Kai-O tried an almost successful Kakenage on Shoryu, who escpaed and countered with a mighty successful sukuinage. Noticed that kakenage is seldom being attempted by most so far. A wonderful attempt by Kai-o! Wondered how many ever won by this throw? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Otokonoyama 2,735 Posted June 20, 2004 Sounds very cool! Do you have a banzuke.com link for that one? On the same topic of ultimate/exciting bouts, did anyone see one about 3-5 years ago, a real punch-up/slap-fest that left both rikishi bloodied...? I can't remember if it was 'Taikai, or Musoyama, or Takatoriki... B-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bennyloh 0 Posted June 20, 2004 (edited) No,... only saw it once life on NHK during the competitions and it still fresh in my mind. However I do know that this is a very fast and powerful throw. It is always the kind of throw that keeps you fascinated.(f the throw is completed in this case) Believe it is not an easy throw for the rikishi (to the skillful ones , yes) as being an attacker, turning the back or the sides to execute the throw may always be a disadvantage No again, didn't see the punch-up/slap-fest. Hate to see that kind of stuff anyway. Definitely not for me. Edited June 20, 2004 by bennyloh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cavewoman 0 Posted June 20, 2004 Yes, this was the best fight I saw at the Kokugikan. At least Kaio is putting in some effort and still trying to find a way to beat Asashoryu. It showed on his face that he was very, very disappointed. B-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Call me "obsolete" "ancient" or "antigue"-simple downloading and viewing also I find it difficult. I just discovered you can view it at Quick Time movies [http://sumo.goo.ne.jp/eng/hon_basho/topics/kotorikumi/0405/kotorikumi_12.html Hope this helps, though the action here is too fast.
