Kotononami Posted March 17, 2008 Posted March 17, 2008 At the end of the bout , Hakurozan seemed angry with his opponent. He stayed several seconds on Mokonami 's dohyo side. Have you seen it? Hard to know the reason for Hakurozan behaviour. (Clapping wildly...)
aderechelsea Posted March 17, 2008 Posted March 17, 2008 Asojima mentioned it too here i cannot help though with my NHK stream view.
Washuyama Posted March 17, 2008 Posted March 17, 2008 It's up on Info-Sumo w/a replay. Looks like Henkarozan had his fingers caught in Mokonami's mawashi at the end and kind of jerked his hand out... Dude was just mad he lost, I guess..
aderechelsea Posted March 17, 2008 Posted March 17, 2008 I love the look Mokonami gave him .... (Clapping wildly...) btw ... nice yotsu sumo by the mongolian.
mokele Posted March 17, 2008 Posted March 17, 2008 I just watched the bout a couple hours ago on a French sumo site, and it was long and grueling, very tiring. Hakurozan was probably just exhausted. He's never been as surly as his brother Roho, but neither is he as strong. Hakurozan tends to wrestle too high. Guys get lower than him and use leverage against him. He looks like a guy who will never be able to stay in Makunouchi for more than 2 or 3 basho before getting sent back down to Juryo.
Vikanohara Posted March 17, 2008 Posted March 17, 2008 Though he did stay in Makunouchi for 11 consecutive basho. His downfall only set in as soon as he went to a M2 rank.
