Day9 vs Kotooshu (Hatsu-Basho 2010 Jan)

Grand Sumo Tournament Day9 has a Big European Guys Bout.
BARUTO vs KOTOOSHU

Ozeki Kotooshu from Bulgaria has marked 7 wins.
Our Baruto also has reached to 7 wins.

Winner this bout can reach to 8 wins.
It means "KACHIKOSHI"(=over 8 wins) and surviver for Emperor's trophy.



I think today's bout is Baruto's best one in his career.

Excellent starting.
Left arm position killed Koto's right arm by "OTTUKE"(=tightening opponent arm).
Head attached to Koto's breast made Koto's body upward.
Stepping forward with pulling belt was perfect.

All skills are very excellent.

In the interview, Baruo was asked
"You can get "Yousho"(=victory of this tournament champion trophy), can't you?"
Baruto answered
"it is very long way from now. I should concentrate on every bout"
"I have tense because I am human (laughing voice by surrounders ,,,hahahha)"

sekiwake BARUTO ○(YORITAOSHI)× KOTOOSHU ozeki

8 wins 1 lose.
KACHIKOSHI,GET!

Baruo has already beaten 1 yokozuna,4 ozekis!
Only yokozuna Asashoryu is rest among upper rankers.
Tomorrow opponent is Toyonoshima.
And the rest opponents candidates are Aminishiki,Tochinoshin,Goeido,Miyabiyama.

I think the key bouts are vs Asashoryu, vs Aminishiki,vs Goeido.
Asa has never allowed Baruto to win.
Aminishiki keeps his style in this tournament,
Goeido is becoming in excellent condition.

To promote to ozeki, Baruto should get 14 wins or over 12 wins with trophy as I wrote in the begging of this tournament.
But even if Baruto does not get trophy,if he get 13 wins or over 12 wins including win for Asashoryu,the possibility to promote to ozeki rank becomes realistic.
Big chance is coming to Baruto now.

Anyway We know who is the best ! It is BARUTO!
Go,Baruto,Go!!!!

I don't understand this ozeki promotion thing...
If Baruto ends this tournament with 12-3 score, he will have 33 wins total in last 3 bashos (which is cut-off level, as far as I understand). As a bonus, he has (at least) one fighting spirit prize gained at that period and wins over 9 ozekis and (at least) 1 yokozuna in last 2 tournaments! Half of the current ozekis are weak. Isn't it all enough to be promoted?

I love baruto used kotoosho winning method on him self. He executed exacly how kotooshu uses to. win get same grip, put head on his breast to get oponent upperbody high and just force out. Beutiful.. i was so worried about that bout .. but this match was just perfect
