Expected but still a bummer. Kisenosato deserves better than to go down as one of the worst Yokozuna
great matches. endo crushing sadanoumi looked brutal.Yago vs Chiyonokuni
&
Sadanoumi vs Endo
Two of the best bouts of the whole basho so far!
Sadanoumi looked out cold!great matches. endo crushing sadanoumi looked brutal.
the big men, ichinojo, kaisei, and aoiyama are all looking very good.
the nishikigi vs. hakuho match had all kinds of drama. great way to end a broadcast.
Hakuho is really going to win this with just hairline endings every day isn't he?
Of course Mitakeumi is hurt now because we can't have nice things.
Looking like this is going to be the Hakuho show yet again
man, it really sucks. i don't know what you do about it, but these injuries are getting ridiculous. i don't know if this is strictly a problem in the last few years, but i don't remember the injuries being this bad when i first started watching.Of course Mitakeumi is hurt now because we can't have nice things.
i think it was the right call, but just unlucky for aoiyama. i think he was winning anyway, and onosho wasn't recovering from the pull down, but it looked to me like you could see his head being yanked down slightly as aoiyama's hands got caught in his hair, and i think by the letter of the law that's a foul. obviously not intentional, but it is what it is.The Aoiyama hair pull call was harsh I thought, what did you think?
Yeah I definitely don't remember this many injuries 5-6 years ago, not this many high profile ones for sure.man, it really sucks. i don't know what you do about it, but these injuries are getting ridiculous. i don't know if this is strictly a problem in the last few years, but i don't remember the injuries being this bad when i first started watching.
in other news, great to see ishiura up from juryo for the day doing his usual fun little-guy sumo magic.
