Tokimori 0 Posted January 15, 2003 I just saw the last two bouts... Toki vs Musoyama - No chance for Toki. He just doesn't have the skills to win against ozeki and sanyaku... :( Asashoryu vs Takanonami - Very good and strong sumo from Asashoryu. He with stood a good attempt by Nami to wring him to the side near the edge and threw him down himself instead. Magnificent! Dis anyone see Tochiazuma? 0-4 - What is this?

Kaikitsune Makoto 210 Posted January 15, 2003 Dis anyone see Tochiazuma? 0-4 - What is this? Kyokutenho manhandled him with excellent throw. Azuma looked nervous and lost at the tachi-ai. Somehow he seems to be in confused state of mind due to losing without visible reason. Kyokutenho started Kyushu basho very well as he has started Hatsu basho. Powerful sumo with mobility and confidence! Wouldn't surprise me to see him 10-5 at the end. Kaiho vs Aminishiki: Superb kakenage! I hope Dale has caught this bout on tape. Kaiho has now beaten Iwakiyama, Toki, Akinoshima and Aminishiki in convincing manner. That 6kg increase in weight shows. Wakanosato dumped Kotonowaka with textbook uwatedashinage rolling Koto the whole diameter of the dohyo. Iwakiyama shows oddly good skill in addition to his formidable power. Nicely massive uwatenage against Tokitsuumi today. Tosanoumi made nage-pulp out of Takanowaka with a gigantic left-handed uwatenage which sent Takanowaka down with such force than he couldn't do anything but accept the fact and no annoyance was witnessed in his body language. Takanowaka was beaten 100-0 today. Kotoryu bulldozed ailing Akinoshima who did try a desperate utchari which made his vertabrae seek for counceling immediately afterwards, such scary it must have been to the 35+ vertabrae and discs. Kasugao and Jumonji danced for a while after which Kasu drove Jumo back and out. Kasugao has both incredible talent, skill and strength but also certain insecurity, unoptimal sumo and rough edges tactics-wise. Kasugao could be coached well I bet!

QttP 0 Posted January 15, 2003 Did anyone see Tochiazuma? 0-4 - What is this? Tochiazuma annoys me. I no longer like him. I'd like it better if he had lost his Ozeki status in November. Now even a very probable makekoshi won't demote him. Yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
