aderechelsea 125 Posted June 8, 2004 I was wondering which is the longest bout that you remember watching. i guess it will include Kotonowaka :-( but i wanted to know if there is a certain record. i think i saw a video of a Konishiki bout sometime that had a mizu-iri and then a couple of minutes more before he won. anyone interested to chip in his memories?

Otokonoyama 2,735 Posted June 9, 2004 There was one in the past year with TWO mizu-iri before somebody won. I don't remember who was in the torikumi. It must have been over 8 minutes... :-( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chienoshima 0 Posted June 9, 2004 I guess you were thinking of a bout between Kotomitsuki and Musoyama. This bout had two mizuuri, and eventually a torinaoshi was decided. Kotomistuski won that second bout. I don't rememeber exactely when this bout occured, but it happened during Takanohana's kyujo. Regards, Chienoshima Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aderechelsea 125 Posted June 9, 2004 :-( two mizu-iri and no Kotonowaka involvement....... this is surely something rare.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Packamawashi Posted June 9, 2004 This bout was on day 6 of Natsu Basho 2001. You can see it here (It is divided in 6 parts, because it took over 15 minutes). Packamawashi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kintamayama 47,159 Posted June 9, 2004 In Shanghai today, there was a very rare mizuiri (for a koen/jungyo..) in the second round bout between Takamisakari and Kotoryuu. After a 4 minute stalemate, a mizu-iri was called, much to the delight of the audience. Then, Sakari won it with Yorikiri in a few seconds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hoshidango 0 Posted June 10, 2004 Mienoumi & Futagodake. Many mizu-iri and ended up tied the game. I am sure its in record somewhere. They didn't move much and it was rather boring watching... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yoavoshimaru 0 Posted June 10, 2004 Yeah, usually a mizu-iri involves the two rikishi just standing leaning locked against each other, sort of boring. But a surprising kimarite can come at any second... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aderechelsea 125 Posted June 10, 2004 thanks for all the replys but i guess there is no "official" record of a longest bout cause i am certain that it would be mentioned by some distinguised members of our forum.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
