A few respected posters here posted that rikishi will figure out how to beat Ura.  

And I still say - makekoshi.

Amakaze is doing good so far. Endou still have to decide if he is in or out of this basho. 

[taresu]

Gotta say, that bout of Soukokurai against Chiyoshouma was really weird. It started wrong...twice.

[MrGrumpyGills]

Nice bout between Ikioi and Chiyonokuni :)

But Ikioi aggravated his old ankle injury in the process of getting the win.

Thought something seemed off when he stepped from the dohyo. That's a shame :(

[taresu]

Nice to see Aoiyama try a little harder once in a while.

[Masumasumasu]

Tochi-no-shame.

[WAKATAKE]

Tochinoshin on a henka and then a watashikomi? Well that's 1-2 for Kisenosato to two maegashira, and it's ONLY day 3.

Kyokutenhou doing comments today, nice to see him, really like the guy.

[WAKATAKE]

And now Kotoshogiku goes down

[taresu]

Takayasu beating Kotoshougiku showing he is all business, i would really like to see him in a ozeki run next basho.

[WAKATAKE]

Kakuryu got lucky on that one 

[taresu]

Kakuryuu and Yoshikaze bout looked like a bull spree in spain.

[MrGrumpyGills]

Wow, Okinoumi! Well done! :D

[WAKATAKE]

And Okinoumi is LEGIT!!! 5 more wins to a sansho, don't doubt me.

[Rocks]

Wow, Okinoumi, WOW! Great win.

 

[Asashosakari]

The way this is going, Goeido's winning the yusho to leave Kisenosato as the only top-ranker without one...

[taresu]

Great bout between Harumafuji and Okinoumi. The guy is really on fire!! 

[Rocks]

Still stunned by Kisenosato's loss. To have someone like Tochinoshin attempt to henka you, fail, and still beat you? Incredible.

[grigorian]

Okinoumi´s chance is in progres? Whit that performance, could it be possible a yuso?

OMG!  That would be the greatest.  Although, I think this is Harumafuji's yusho to lose.  We shall see.

Me like Tochinoshin most of the time.

[Jakusotsu]

I guess "someone like Tochinoshin who never pulls a henka" was the intention.
