I love Hokotofuji ...great win and he and Abi need to exchange ranks

Takakeishou looked like himself today...fingers crossed for the 10 ... Yusho? Why not ...

Just reminder live sumo on NHK world (free over the air in the US and streamed on the NHK website)in English at 4:10am EST. Ishura has really picked it up, fantastic win today. Hitting low and hard. Lobster boy Kotoyuki doing pretty well too. Lots of drama going into second week !

I agree.. Kakuryu is not safe at all. A surging Hokotofuji a resurging Tamawashi and a rested Takakeishou and Goedeo ? Who knows ?.. I don't mind Hak being out.. This is the future..

I really hope this wild win he had against a very game Daishou ... He gets his mojo back

Clasic Enho beating Onoshou...wow. A barn burner win for Takakeisho. Tomokaze handled Abi perfectly. Kaise and Ikio both won in Juryo. Fantastic first day ...great bouts !

Wow...I think this basho is 3yrs I'm following sumo...for newbies as I still am, I recommend "the national art of sumo" on YouTube covers the greats from the 60's to almost present.Chiyonofuji, Akibono , konishiki and the beast Assasuryio to name just a few (please forgive my terrible spelling, my math is way better) im very worried about Takakeishou, I hope he can go all out..he's my new boy and want him to get back to ozeki now..but MK I hope this is a jinx loving Hokotofuji his sumo is ferocious and will Kk at m1. love Endou too... He fights hard and be belongs in the new joi Kagayaki, onosho , kotoshugiku . Should clean up at M13, m11 and m7 respectably Abi ... MK ...but liking him more and more Tamawashi at m4 will KK enjoy and have fun !! We will all be watching !!

I really like terutsuyoshi.... Hits and moves... Lots of technique ... Watching this boy

This injury seems to have creeped him out. I'm hoping for the best, but his mental game may be damaged.

My fortran project was done on punch cards in early eighties....6-9 ... I like Terutsuyshi a bit better for a lil guy.

Right now it's a matter of when Hakahou retires..IMO... Mitakiumi and Takayasu may then make it

Absolutely agree... plucked thin

Not much of a tachia. ..but glad Hak and Kak went chest to chest...best man at the moment won. That is what its all about. Im now a bigger Hokotojuji and Endo fan as that was a barn burner and best match of the basho imo. Both these guys have no quit and i love Hoktofuji's ferocious sumo. I was starting to like Abi, he did face couple ozeki , but nobody likes a cheap shot the Geek. But still tough to kk at komosubi and obviously a good call on his part. Gonna be crowded at the top of the banzuke.

Im up to 9th place...i promise to do my best...(bow)

When Takakeisho withdrew and the ozeki squad blew up i felt the same way. But we are in for a great finish and i'll be up early 3:30est for live nhk world coverage in English. Its Kakaryuu's to lose !!

Nice double stack of kensho and a kimboshi for Kotoshugiku..not a bad day at all. Fights Abi both for KK..should be good. Kudos for Abi for a chance of KK for a shin komosubi.

Gonna be a great ...last day with 7 7-7 records on the line and possible playoff.

Terinofuji looking way better then when he started this journey back. Dominating in the couple matches i have seen. Lots of fun matches today. Terutsuyoshi doing great sumo and good tachia for smaller guy. We have a yusho race, but Hakahou looks to have the easier path. I hope comes down to senshu..sensira...ah...last day :)

https://youtu.be/BM0hwgw5KfQ My apologies if linked before...a fans view of his last match..join me in asking for the juryo digest from our Japanese friend.. i'll post them...Aminishiki !!

I too thought endo did an amazing match against the geek (bring back the stretch ). Took everything hes got. Im on the the terasioshi (sp) band wagon. .congrats for the kk. Hokotofuji and aioyama fighting hard... they will be ok.

Well the drama builds...Takayasu looks done, Hakaho losses and Kakaryuu looking solid... going to be an exciting finish...go Kakaryuu! !

Kakaryuu vs. Hakahou in the last day would be my best wanted outcome.. Want to see Kagayaki, Toyonoshima and Chiomaru do well... i like Terutsuyoshi better then enho...lil more size and speed and all about footwork! ! Both excellent footwork.

Ichinojo's back has to be out. Nice job by Endo. .. off to a rocking start

Congratulations to Abi.... very unique sumo.. never wss a fan..but that can change... ABI !!!

Im with you brother...id like to know what it means too
