Day15 vs Hakuho(Nagoya-Basho 2011)

Harumafuji has already decided this tournament title of Makuuchi division Champion.

But today our interest is ,,,,of course,
Baruto vs Hakuho.

Baruto has defeated Yokozuna Hakuho once.
And Yokozuna this tournament is not real.
Hakuho challenged straight 8 champion of thournament but his challenge was stopped by yesterdays lost by Harumafuji.

We think Baruto has chance to overcome Yokozuna's wall.

Baruto reached to 11 wins!!

To promote to Yokozuna, Ozkei has to get 2 straight champions or sub champion.

2011 sep Harumfuji needs champion title or sub champion with over 14 wins because of may tournament was only 10 wins.
Former Yokozuna Takanohana suggested "over 14 wins are must" after final day.
14 wins are very high condition.

11 wins are very important.Baruto got 11 wins.
As you know, the condition of promotion to Ozeki is 33 wins in 3 tournaments.
So 11 wins and defeating Yokozuna give a good impression for promotion to Yokozuna.
Anyway Baruto tried to change his starting style(not to push) and grip right otuside.
I think to promote to Yokozuna ,to brash up this tactic is good.
