Looks like we get to see what Kakizoe is really made of on day 11.

Oooooh yes. I am loving this bout! Loving it! (Heart)

If I am right, it will be the first of many in what is to be a rivalry of monumental proportions... (Applauding...)

A reasonably good chance of a kinboshi. After all Asashoryu doesn't really know what Kakizoe is made of. (And nothing to lose psychologically for Kakizoe either)

After seeing Asashoryu totally destroying Kotomitsuki with tsuriotoshi today, I'd say that Kakizoe has a snowball's chance of surviving in hell against Asashoryu.

You are probably right. I like to play devil's advocate a bit.

I suppose that so far in this basho Asashoryu has not been suffering from his old failing of underestimating certain opponents and then being surprised.

So, why arrange the bout at all?

To make Kakizoe lose and drop out of the yusho race. Mid-maegashira rikishi aren't supposed to yusho.

I thought the very act of putting Zoe against the yokozuna was enough if he has no chance at all according to some. Even M17 can take the yusho no matter how he's supposed to act. Isn't that the "salt" in all this? The unpredictability.
