ChrisC 7 Posted September 13, 2012 Yikes, that didn't look good for Kotooshu. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Morty 1,521 Posted September 13, 2012 It looked like a broken arm or dislocated shoulder. Not pleasant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krindel 688 Posted September 13, 2012 (edited) Seriously not good. After re-watching his reaction after the bout, he is clearly into shock from pain :-( Edited September 13, 2012 by krindel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Morty 1,521 Posted September 13, 2012 How good was Kise in dealing with Gagamaru though? Complete control throughout and powered the heaviest man in the comp back across the Dohyo and out. Really impressive Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Otokonoyama 2,735 Posted September 13, 2012 How good was Kise in dealing with Gagamaru though? Complete control throughout and powered the heaviest man in the comp back across the Dohyo and out. Really impressive Tachiai games. Without a good hit and momentum, Gaga is middling at best. Drawing a matta, Kise forced Gaga into a cautious tachiai, and was able to launch himself into a timidly rising opponent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There he goes again with this tachi-ai crap - it works for now, but will backfire if he tries it against Ama or the Hak. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bugman 384 Posted September 13, 2012 How bad is Kotooshu's injury? If it ends his career he will be the first rikishi i'm a fan of that will leave Sumo, i wish him a complete and speedy recovery, thanks for the video's and thw wonderful humour as always Kinta, your mono-i conversations have me in stitches :) 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think there's a potential sub-culture video fad there (if that makes any sense). But if it got too popular the NSK guys would probably want a cut of any revenues.

Gusoyama 106 Posted September 13, 2012 There he goes again with this tachi-ai crap - it works for now, but will backfire if he tries it against Ama or the Hak. I can't cite chapter and verse, or basho and bout, but I believe he has pulled that crap successfully against at least Harumafuji, if not Hakuho. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kuroyama 715 Posted September 14, 2012 There he goes again with this tachi-ai crap - it works for now, but will backfire if he tries it against Ama or the Hak. I can't cite chapter and verse, or basho and bout, but I believe he has pulled that crap successfully against at least Harumafuji, if not Hakuho. And his opponents get fingers shaken at him when they henka in retaliation. Why is he being allowed to get away with it? It wasn't even subtle this time; he visibly faked Gaga out.

yorikiried by fate 2,040 Posted September 14, 2012 Why is he being allowed to get away with it? Because he's an Ozeki? If you care to remember Kotomitsuki's pre-bout bugging, the Kid's sideshow is nothing to write home about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Asashosakari 20,338 Posted September 14, 2012 You can tell it's a basho that's low on henka when people spend so much time complaining about Kisenosato instead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

max 0 Posted September 14, 2012 Wow, a lot of mono-ii this tournament. Time to replace the gyoji with a Hawk-Eye system :-P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bugman 384 Posted September 14, 2012 (edited) There goes Takanoyama again, if you're a big rikishi having him as an opponent must be like grappling with an incredibly determined coat-hanger, he really is fantastic, also i really have no reason for this, but ikioi reminds me a little of Takamisakari.
