Morty 1,505 Posted November 11, 2012 Managed to watch it live today but enjoyed the recap. Thanks once again. Enjoyed seeing Jokoryu in the top flight. The thing I like about him is he went straight for the belt rather than trying to slap his opponent out. Makes me think he might live up to the hype. And I'd put money on there only being four ozeki after this basho... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ronnie 221 Posted November 11, 2012 And I'd put money on there only being four ozeki after this basho... As many as that? ;-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gusoyama 104 Posted November 11, 2012 Interesting stuff. Trying to figure out who Jokoryu reminds me of. Young Miyabiyama? I dunno. I liked Harumafuji's dohyo iri, it was very precise, if not as powerful as Hakhuho's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yorikiried by fate 2,029 Posted November 11, 2012 Thanks for including the full dohyo-iri. I knew I would be able to see the bouts, but having missed Harunafuji's first time seemed much more regrettable. (Bow...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

krindel 675 Posted November 11, 2012 Yes, a bit late, but not early: Late again? Inexcusable... You are hereby found guilty and condemned to upload the videos of each day's action for the rest of us... Oh, wait... You are already doing that... Nevermind...

Akinomaki 40,801 Posted November 11, 2012 I liked Harumafuji's dohyo iri, it was very precise, if not as powerful as Hakhuho's. But his hand slipped once. I think it was Kitanofuji who warned about the first honbasho dohyo-iri being error-prone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr.Radical 16 Posted November 11, 2012 Thank you for including Harumafuji's first honbasho dohyo-iri, Kintamayama! I was curious to know if he had gained any swagger from his first performance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hageouryu 16 Posted November 12, 2012 Thanks to DowntownHyena for the Juryo selection - if this becomes a regular habit of yours, it will be an interesting addition to this thread...not trying to put any pressure on you (if it's there I'll enjoy it, if not, well that's OK too), but noticed that it was only your 2nd post on the forum. ...very welcome indeed. Thanks as always to Kintamayama. And regarding Harumafuji's first dohyo-iri, I seem to recall Hakuho's first was timed at about 1:25 or so, with Kitanofuji immediately suggesting that it would become less rushed with experience, and now it's typically, well, how long?.

kaiyo 2 Posted November 12, 2012 i noticed Haku's elbow again right away - BOOO Haru lost - lets see how confident he's now... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gusoyama 104 Posted November 12, 2012 Holy cow, it sounds EMPTY in the stands. I hope that the hew and cry doesn't go out about Harumafuji's promotion being a bad one if he goes 10-5. It is common for a new Yokozuna to get 10 or 11 wins in their first basho at the rank. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
