WAKATAKE 2,660 Posted November 10, 2019 I'll get us started then, Ura opens up his Kyushu basho with a dominant win over Daishosei. The former maegashira is starting his second attempt at a return to makuuchi all the way at the bottom of Jonidan after having injured his knee a second time. https://www.nikkansports.com/battle/sumo/news/201911100000188.html 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Asashosakari 19,394 Posted November 10, 2019 (edited) The revised schedule for Day 2 is out, Okinoumi now faces Goeido instead of Kakuryu (among a whole host of changed matchups, obviously). Edited November 10, 2019 by Asashosakari Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Akinomaki 40,594 Posted November 10, 2019 Ikioi still has plenty of bandages, but even with one at the elbow he threw Yago with ease. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’ve become a fan, against all odds, because I admire his tenacity to make this comeback. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amamaniac 2,079 Posted November 10, 2019 I'm confused. Kakuryu seems to be out. The stream did not show a dohyoiri by the top-ranked Yokozuna, and Shikimori Inosuke was on duty for Hakuho's dohyoiri. Seems like a very last-minute withdrawal. Sigh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

robnplunder 975 Posted November 10, 2019 Tsurugisho beats Enho for 5 straight times, all with different kimarite. Can he go six wins for six different kimarite the next time he faces Enho? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edwardoho 23 Posted November 10, 2019 Am I right in thinking that Tochinoshin needs 10 wins to regain Ozeki rank and Takayasu needs 8 wins to retain Ozeki rank? Is anyone on an Ozeki run? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Benihana 1,929 Posted November 10, 2019 1 minute ago, Edwardoho said: how many do people think Mita needs for that to happen in this basho? Just for reaching 33 wins in 3 straight basho, he'd need 12. But i'm not sure if it would be enough. Takakeisho recently did it with 9-6, 13-2 and 11-4, so it's possible. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Akinomaki 40,594 Posted November 10, 2019 2 minutes ago, Edwardoho said: how many do people think Mita needs for that to happen in this basho? 12 is the general and his own opinion - he had a 9-6 in Nagoya. He first had announced he'll go for the 12, but just before the basho only for at least 10, to keep the ozeki run properly alive Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Benihana 1,929 Posted November 10, 2019 Just now, robnplunder said: Would Mitakeumui's consistency at Sekiwake count for something? I really don't know. Mitakeumi has 2 bouts vs. Yokozuna, both lost and 2 bouts vs. Ozeki, both won in his run so far. That's 4 Y/O matches in 2 basho. Takakeisho had 10 Y/O bouts in the 2 basho starting his run and won 4, and had a 3-2 in the final basho. They could argue that with these depleted Y/O ranks, a run starting with 9-6 is not what they want to see...but what do i round eyed devil know about what the NSK/YDC-guys are thinking. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
