---------------------------------------------- Upper rankers result Day3
Today's opponent is Ozeki Kaio who is 36 years old veteran but has scored 3 continuous wins from the first day. Kaio's best style is left arm under right hand over which is same style as Baruto.
Baruto has not won against Kaio unti this tournament. 2008sep,2008may
Perfect win! Baruto did not allow Kaio to be grasped by Kaio's right arm over. But Baruto could grasp Kaio's belt by both arms (right hand over left hand under). This was the point Baruto won.
After bout ,Baruto shook his head maybe because of some hurts around neck and left shoulder. I guess Baruto needed full power over his limits.
In the interview after bout,he was asked "How distance of ability between upper rankers do you feel now?" and he answered "I should have sef -confidence ".
sekiwake BARUTO ○(YORIKIRI)× Kaio ozeki
Baruto marked 4 continuos wins from beginning of hthis tournament.
Kaio is one of Ozeki(=champion) and has a good physical status still now even if his age. kaio's strong style is Hidari -Yotu(=Right hand cross over). Baruto's strong style is Migi-Yotu(=Left hand cross over).
Unfortunately Baruto made Kaio in his style.
I think this match was very good experience for baruto. because Baruto is first rank of Megashira,,heis only a challenger this time. He has to learn more to skill up.
