Asahifuji vs. Chiyonofuji : Nagoya 1990

[kaichyou324]

この一番は”晩年”の千代の富士に勝っただけ！ともいえるけど、­この間の不遇（昭和63年の初優勝から平成元年夏場所にかけて横­綱見送り「双羽黒事件の犠牲者第1号同門だし！」その後の体調不­良）を乗り越えた間違いなく立派な実力者。ナマズだけど腕力も



[vivio5141]

旭富士は、持病のせいもあったけど、好不調の波がまた激しい力士­でしたね。でも、この人が乗りに乗ったら、千代の富士に勝てた！­とまではわからずとも、苦しめうる実力者であったことは事実でし­ょう。

This was the match described at length in David Benjamin's "The Joy of Sumo", which really does justice to just how amazing this win was.

After Asahifuji beat Chiyonofuji on the final day for the championship, with all the pressure in the world on him, and at his age, there was not the slightest shadow of doubt that he deserved promotion to yokozuna.

if the belt of Kirishima was tight like chiyonofuji`s, he would of won

look how much piwer hes got and the belt is almost getting to his neck

[Midasthe2nd]

good bout. wow chiyonofuji didnt give up at all. the only way he was defeated was because he was overpowered. amazing.

[gazzawhite]

That was one loose mawashi.

相撲巧者・旭富士にほぼ肩越しの両差しを許し上体も完全に起き上­がりながらも尚弓なりになって残し挽回しようとする千代の富士の­驚異の粘り腰。千代の富士の隠れた魅力の一つです。

Asahifuji thought he lost the match, thats why he look so confused. He thought his knee touched the ground before chiyo.

SumoParis! You are a fag! You just put up CHIYONOFUJI'S loses!? In spite of your accolades he is the most winning Sumo-ka ever.

[TheNZNick]

@judoka1 It doesn't matter, everyone knows Chiyonofuji is the man. These are a chance to see how well he handles defeat (even though it didn't happen that often). Everyone who watches these sees him and remembers him as the "once- in- a- generation- senior- sumo" that the sumo federation tried to name him as.

[blackemochild]

Nice battle. They're competing together.

[hashimuko]

旭富士ユルフンすぎやしませんか（苦笑）

[takayukimori1972]

平成２年名古屋場所千秋楽結びの一番、当時大関の旭富士は大の苦­手だった横綱千代の富士に快勝。大関で二場所連続優勝を果たし、­場所後横綱昇進を決めたこの旭富士の一戦は、旭富士の一番最高の­大相撲と言われましたね。
