Day14 vs Kotooshu (Kyushu-Basho 2011 Nov)

Grand sumo Tournament Kyushu-basho day14.
大相撲 九州場所 第14日目。

Saturady night.

Baruto meets Ozeki Kotooshu.

Kotooshu has already passed "Kachikoshi" (=over 8 wins) line and escaped from "Kadoban"
(If Ozeki has 2 straight "Makekoshi"(=less than 7 wins),the Ozeki lost his postision.In the next basho to "Makekoshi" basho ,the ozeki is called "Kadoban")

Kotooshu this year lost his sumo style.
His top form is low starting and to get "Maemitsu" and kills opponents sumo and rush forward.
Before Baruto's promoting to Ozeki,I sometimes mentioned Kotooshu's starting and grip sumo was a paragon of sumo of European(I mean body size and long leg is quite different from Asian sumotoris)
Kotooshu forget his sumo.

But,,
I think Kotooshu these days sumo pretty well though he did not make his score satisfactorily.


At starting,Kotooshu tried to get "Maemitsu" and he got it for an instant.
Baruto showed "Inashi" without delay and cut off Kotososhu grip.

This was the point of this bout.

Bartuo has marked 10 wins and 4 losses.
I want to say why Baruto lost 3 in the early days of this tournament.
If not,today Baruto vs Hakuho would be a real play-off.
