Chiyoo won easy here. Takano went for a slap, missed and got pushed out with ease.

J8e     Tochinowaka (2-1) vs  J4w     Sotairyu (0-3)
Tochinowaka really beefed up.

Sotairyu won easy here. Tochino couldn't get anything on him at all and slipped off him and easily got beat.

M10w    Toyohibiki (1-2) vs M7w     Jokoryu (0-3

Toyohibiki won with ease here. He pushed under Jokoryu's chin and pushed him out effortlessly.

M5e     Shohozan (1-2) vs  M7e     Fujiazuma (2-1)

Shohozan won with a great sidestep. He hooked onto his opponent early which helped him hit it.

M4e     Aoiyama (3-0) vs M5w     Takayasu (1-2)

Aoiyama also won with a side step after the initial tachi-ai. Aoiyama is 4-0 now and could be dangerous if he can keep it up.

O2e     Kotoshogiku (3-0) vs  M3e     Takarafuji (0-3)

Koto won effortlessly here. He latched onto Takara and pushed him out quickly.

M1e     Myogiryu (1-2) vs O1w     Kakuryu (3-0)

Kakuryu won here. He had Myo early but kind of let off and gave Myo a huge break. Kakuryu came back though and pushed him out easy the second time.

O1e     Kisenosato (3-0) vs K1e     Tochiozan (0-3)

Kisenosato won after 3 Tochiozan false starts. They danced around the edge multiple times and Tochi tried to swing him and almost got away with it. They eventually stalled and Kisen threw him down with force.

S1w     Baruto (2-1) vs O2w     Kotooshu (3-0)

Kotooshu won. He had his head tucked into Baruto's chest and had solid grips during the whole match which eventually got him the win. Not a good one for Baruto as he couldn't do much and he really should have been able to take this one.

Y1e     Hakuho (3-0)  vs M2e     Kitataiki (0-3)

Hakuho won. Kita slipped from the start and offered nothing.
M2w     Tochinoshin (0-3) vs Y1w     Harumafuji (2-1)

Harumafuji did a Goldberg-like spear and almost sent himself out, but had enough of a grip to put Tochinoshin down.
