[QUOTE="Black Omega, post: 761921, member: 79"] Takanohana has retired. Asashoryu won the last two bashos rather easily. A big part of the reason why it was so easy was that Musashimaru, Chiyotakai, Kaio, and Tochiazuma were all to one degree or another injured during this period and didn't particupate in those bashos, or at least had to withdraw fairly early. That left only the very disappointing Musoyama and Asashoryu as competing Ozeki and Asashoryu made the most of the opportunity. It might very well be too early but he had done all that was asked of him to be promoted. [B][/B] 9-6 at the Hatsu Basho. 2-2 so far this basho and still a Sekiwake. He did have my favorite bout of the year back in Jan against Takanowaka. Kotomitsuki opened with a powerful harite to Takanowaka's left cheek and practically knocked him out. Takanowaka stumbled forward and went down on his side and lay there for almost a minute before he was finally able to stagger to his feet and be helped off the platform. [/QUOTE]
