robnplunder Posted March 16, 2019 Posted March 16, 2019 I've now seen all 3 of Teruno's matches. Boy, it's going to take some time, if ever, for Teruno to return to Makuuchi.
Kintamayama Posted March 16, 2019 Posted March 16, 2019 Kachikoshi. Beat 180 kilo Teraoshou by hearty sukuinage. "I stopped in the middle there- I wonder why.." he said, after stopping in the middle there, regaining his breath, and throwing his opponent. 3 1 2

Kintamayama Posted March 18, 2019 Posted March 18, 2019 (edited) 5-0.He beat 16 year old Daiyuushou . This time it took him a while, as his 1.73 meter/111 kilo opponent was quite feisty. After 5, 8, 7, and 14 seconds bouts, today it took him 35 seconds. "It's been a while since i had a long bout, even in training. My feet did not follow and my opponent was all over the place," he said. It looked more like a butsugari session, with Terunofuji lending his chest to his opponent's attacks. Finally, hatakikomi, although it looks like oshidashi in the photo... Video soon, probably. It looks like his main opponent for the yusho is Mongolian Roga, as yet undefeated in sumo after 12 bouts. His next opponent should be Shimomura (1.78/116) in his second career basho or maybe Wakayamanaka , a Jonidan regular for 8 years having his best basho ever.. Edited March 18, 2019 by Kintamayama 2 2
Jakusotsu Posted March 18, 2019 Posted March 18, 2019 Better not show that bout to anybody who knows only the stereotypes about sumo. 2 1
Stein Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 I really have high hopes for the guy, but i cant seem to think that he has that much of a chance to come back anywhere near his former self... 1
robnplunder Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 (edited) The little kid was begging to lose and Teruno couldn't finish him for a long time. It's like watching a different rikishi, no sign of his former self. Edited March 19, 2019 by robnplunder
Philioyamfugi Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 Oooch...kinda looked like an Oorah...match shiko and all. 1
Michishige Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 Poor guy. He won his match to move to 6-0, but I can’t help but agree that he looks like a shell of his former self.
dcisneros Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 He showed no clue of his insane grip power and just waited the kid to make a mistake. Probably he needs to loose some weight. Will we ever see him at his full power again?

Stein Posted March 21, 2019 Posted March 21, 2019 It has to be a psychologial strike of great proportions. May i Wonder, does he has to "serve" the maegashiras in his stable now that he has been demoted? That could motivate him, but maybe it could also throw him into a deep depression, seeing him relegated to no mans land... Sad Story indeed, i hope he can earn some money again, at least in Juryo...

I don't know for sure but I think it's a big enough heya that there would be enough other low ranking rikishi to serve as tsukebito and spare him from that.
Kintamayama Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 7-0 and yusho playoff against new Mongolian and yet unbeaten in sumo 20 years old Rouga on senshuraku.

I think you are right, but just to play devil's advocate a little bit, I think this bout was also a classic example of a much smaller rikishi doing everything to avoid mawashi sumo. I think Teru was right to be cautious here.
