Kirishima with the match of the day for me. Great belt control, using those drags, then finishing with the massive throw as Asahifuji made his attack.

Seemed mostly pretty textbook stuff today, not much standing out. Couple notes:

Churanoumi got Kotozakura a little off balance with some strong pressure off the tachiai and was able to keep it up for a bit, but Koto recovered and sent Chura flying after regaining control.

Yoshinofuji got great position and looked strong against Hoshoryu but it wasn't enough to take down the yokozuna. Onosato on the other hand is probably pulling out of this basho at some point soon.
