Sumo March Haru Basho Day 8

J8w  Takanoyama (4-3) vs  J5w Tenkaiho (5-2)

Tenkaiho won in a boring match. He caught Takanoyama early and they did nothing until Takano went out.

Shotenro won here. They both slapped each other many times before Shotenro got him out.

Okinoumi got under Jokoryu early and got him out.
M4w Shohozan (5-2) vs M2w Myogiryu (3-4)

Myogiryu went too high and Shohozan got under him for the quick and easy win. Fine match here.

K1e  Tochiozan (3-4) vs  S1w Baruto (5-2)

Tochiozan tried to go to the side and Baruto bearhugged him to nullify him and win.
O2e  Kakuryu (4-3)  vs M1w Tochinoshin (3-4)

Tochi tried and had a chance early, but Kakuryu grabbed him by the throat and forced him out. If you control the head, you control the body.

O1e  Kisenosato (4-3) vs S1e Goeido (5-2)

Upset! Great effort by Goeido here. He grabbed the left side of Kisen's mawashi and just kept holding onto it. He turned him to each side with Kisen starting to lose balance and eventually got him out.

Koto got under and had a great power base for the easy win.
Y1e Harumafuji (5-2) vs M4e Toyonoshima (5-2)

Toyonoshima got under and pushed up to get a rather easy win! Haruma was off balance and had nothing here for the big upset!
