Day15 vs Kotomitsuki (Gogatsu-Basho 2010 May)

Grand Sumo Tournament Day15 (="Senshuraku")

Baruto meets Ozeki Kotomitsuki.
Kotomitsuki is surrounded by scandal.
I predict he is lack of concentration


Kotomitsuki showed his potential.
Scandal lited him up.

Baruto ended 10-5 in this tournament.
It is enough for new ozeki but not enough for Yokozuna candidate.
But I think Baruto this tournament have not shown his sumo style at last.

I and Baruto himself (I guess) got surprised when smaller wrestler re-pushed against Baruto.
His pushing power is disarmed.
Lower body and upper body was not synchro-ed.
This is the main reason.

Ozeki BARUTO ×(SHITATENAGE)○ KOTOMITSUKI Ozeki

We have 2 months for next tournament.
Go back to basic and show your best performance.

chuchai san,
thanks a lot one more time for posting video and comment everyday during the basho !!

I think we shouldn't give too much pressure to Baruto, he's still very string but probably will get little by little experience needed to join Hakuho ... patience!!

see you in july

yoroshiku !!

matsuo.
