Nagoya Day 13 - Hakuho v Kotooshu - July 24, 2009

[videouzleg]

FYI Hakuho's father Mr.Monkhbat was top (yokozuna) Avraga during 70's and 80's in Mongolian wrestling Boh. Avraga means the mighty or great.

[ayanchin]

Indeed, if he hadn't that serious injury of pelvis he would surely have more than 6 championship. He was one of the most clear witted, calculating wrestlers in history. His wrestling style was compared to chess playing. Moreover his silver medal in Mexico has interesting history. One of the greatest wrestlers

[ayanchin]

Btw sometimes I wonder if Hadbaatar avraga wrestled sumo. He'd display great strength. Imagine his "duuguurdeh" in sumo.

Notice Asashoryu left the moment that hakuho won? (5:24)

[edsheadsaid]

Nothing unusual about that.

[JasonsinJapan]

yeah - that's pretty standard, but obviously Asa has to pump himself up for his final day match with Hakuho.

[tomson600]

Gotta love good sumo!

Great to see you support hakuho when he fights with skill Jason.

Always enjoy your commentary!

[JasonsinJapan]

That henka crap shouldn't be allowed.

[ZoahPorre]

I'm not opposed to the henka.

Its legal, and I say, if you're good enough to be on TV, you shouldn't lose to a henka...they should be above it.

[jessman1999]

Precisely my point is what you included in your reply, "if you're good enough to be on TV...they should be above it." Even the Yokozuna can be caught off guard with a henka. But they are a Yokozuna for a reason. You can argue it is strategy all day, but it is still cowardly not to engage your opponent in a lockup.

Well, to each their own. This is how I feel about the henka move, and I'm not likely to change my stance on the issue.

Have a good one.

[MediaMaster9000]

Wow... just... wow. That was SUCH an exciting match! Well done. Jason, thanks for all the Sumo man. I love seeing the new match recordings pop up on my recently added. Thanks man. Good luck with the packing.
