Fujinokawa can lose a match, but he's never "defeated", he gives it 100% every time. Yeah I think Yoshinofuji's slightly better in general, tho this wasn't his best match.

Takayasu showing he still got stamina. Shame about Onosato he really oughta take an extended break. I hope Hakunofuji's foot is allright.

Every time I see Shishi in Dondon's top 10 I'm like: is it bc he does something unexpected, or because someone makes him look clownish? In this case it's bc he shows a mix of manuverability (at the beginning side-step after receiving the tachiai; as well as that odd shoulder block) and use of his physique (at the end when he's like fakit I'll just fall on you.) In the past he's had problems getting past mid-Maegashira, it'll be interesting to see if his skill has grown enough to get him past M11 (or even just to keep him there.)

Nice straightforward win from Ura. Aonishiki gets his grip and wins. Hoshoryu seems to be in good shape.

Tonight: Aonishiki vs Yoshinofuji, and Fujinokawa vs Takayasu!
