A lot of good bouts last night.

The back-and-forth between Onosato and Ichiyamamoto was interesting.

A couple hard falls, I hope everyone's OK.

I was a little bit worried about Takayasu, he seemed kinda low-energy at the beginning. He was like: hey, big crowd here, wonder why they're all cheering. hmmm, that was some good chanko last night, gotta get more of that. now, what's on my schedule for today? oh yeah I gotta fight the yokozuna...

I'm always getting nervous watching hoshoryus first performance as yokozuna. He seems to be giving away a lot of golden stars right now. The bouts were really good though.

Takayasu has his eye on the title, but has to keep up his good form.

Awesome basho so far!

Yeah, I don't know how to feel about Hoshoryu. I think he's getting a lot of disrespect online, and sure, he's lost a couple bouts, but they haven't been that bad, but yokozunas are supposed to be dominant, but he's still pretty young, but that's no excuse... I think I'm gonna reserve judgment until the end of the tournament.
