dingo 1,272 Posted 9 hours ago Kotozakura is in a really precarious position now. 5 days to go, 3 wins needed. Based on today's bout he's not in a great shape either, he fell to a simple pulldown and his feet didn't even move an inch forward to begin to counter it.

Onosato will win enough tournaments in near future. But to be honest, I don't think Takayasu will win. As always he will lose his head on the final stretch. Ganzohnesushi I, for once, am thrilled to witness another Takayasu jun-yusho. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tigerboy1966 1,453 Posted 6 hours ago Tamawashi bakes a delicious cake and steps outside his kitchen. He sniffs the morning air. He smells blood. He smiles.... This could be very interesting. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Katooshu 3,266 Posted 6 hours ago (edited) You know maybe this is just how the matchmaking had to work, but seeing Takerufuji steamroll M10s at 1-7 and 1-8 the last two days, moving to second place while we had Onosato and Takayasu facing off, left an icky taste in my moth. Takerufuji has beaten only 1 rikishi who has a winning record currently, so Churanoumi is a step up in that sense. But for his final four, let's get him in with higher rankers like Takayasu, the ozeki, and Daieisho, or something like that.

It's not his fault that his expected opponents sucked. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

True, you have to click on "expand result" and check for those manually, or I guess you can check "fusen" under kimarite in a separate query and subtract those. It would be a great db feature to be able to exclude kimarite and/or include multiple kimarite in the bout queries, unless that's already possible and I just haven't figured out how.

They really don't like to deviate from the banzuke-based scheduling based on who someone is rather than their rank, especially before they get their KK. I expect he'll get Onosato next, who has an open spot on his dance card on day 12. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Katooshu 3,266 Posted 2 hours ago (edited) Didn't have the best angle but I thought Fukuzaki was a bit unlucky not to have the first Kawazoe bout go his way. Did not see the foot go out until Kawazoe was already down. Edited 2 hours ago by Katooshu Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
