[QUOTE="Swami, post: 191338, member: 13"] Kyushu Day 9: Hakuho stays on track for 43rd title Details Written by Kyodo Published: 18 November 2019 Hits: 18 [IMG]http://www.cibersumo.com/images/rikishis/Hakuho_Kotoyuki_Kyushu19_09.jpg[/IMG] Yokozuna Hakuho retained his one-win buffer at the Kyushu Grand Sumo Tournament after beating No. 4 maegashira Kotoyuki. Targeting a record-extending 43rd makuuchi title at Fukuoka Kokusai Center, Hakuho (8-1) delivered a hard left-handed slap to Kotoyuki (4-5), then darted to the side while pulling the rank-and-filer down in the final bout on Day 9. New komusubi Asanoyama and No. 13 Kagayaki remain one win behind the yokozuna, while five wrestlers sit two wins off the pace in the clash for the last Emperor’s Cup of the year. Asanoyama (7-2) ended a seven-bout losing streak against No. 1 Daieisho (5-4) to stay in contention. The komusubi rebuffed a hard charge from Daieisho and kept his opponent upright before switching gears and slapping him down. Kagayaki (7-2) won his fifth straight bout by pushing out No. 10 Shimanoumi (3-6). After his initial charge was repelled, Kagayaki emptied the tank and drove his fellow rank-and-filer over the straw. In the penultimate bout of Day 9, ozeki Takakeisho (6-3) powered through a nosebleed to beat komusubi Hokutofuji (4-5). Having absorbed an inadvertent head-butt in the day’s most brutal match, Takakeisho stepped to the side and slapped Hokutofuji off the dohyo. In other bouts Monday, sekiwake Mitakeumi (5-4) dominated No. 4 Tamawashi (4-5) to claim his 20th win against the Mongolian in 22 top-tier matches. September’s champion paid no heed to the wound above his right eye, using his entire body to force Tamawashi out. Komusubi Abi improved to 5-4 after quickly thrusting out No. 5 Ryuden (3-6), while No. 1 Okinoumi (3-6) outmuscled Endo (4-5) to pick up his third win. Endo dug in with his favored hold and nearly pushed Okinoumi out, but the top-ranked maegashira stood his ground and downed the komusubi with an overarm throw. Fans were split over a showdown between local favorite, No. 6 Kotoshogiku (2-7), and No. 6 Enho (5-4) which saw the popular lightweight outmaneuver the former ozeki with his crowd-pleasing speed and technique. Kotoshogiku withstood Enho’s aggressive initial attack that drove him to the edge, but Enho kept him on the defensive and pulled Kotoshogiku out by the arm. Swami [/QUOTE]
