Nagoya Day 15 - Hakuho v Asashoryu - July 26, 2009

The last match of the July 2009 Nagoya Grand Sumo Tournament.

A yokozuna battle that lives up to the hype - a great bout!

Hakuho has to win to avoid another playoff - and Asashoryu wants to show that he still deserves the rank of yokozuna.

Thanks for watching, rating and commenting over the past two weeks.

I hope to be back in September with more commentary and footage from America.

NHK World is useless for Sumo! It shows news for 1/2 of every hour and the rest is usually either japanese language lessons or documentaries, boo...

yeah - I've settled on a cable channel here called TV Japan - they have live and taped sumo coverage - should be trying it out in Sept.

Hey Jason,

I live in Davis CA, and I just recently called Comcast (the TV and internet provider throughout most of CA) and ordered a station called TV Japan which shows Sumo.

So don't give up! You can still get sumo with English commentary in the states!

Finally, thanks for all the Sumo and the JET updates/Vlogs as well. You have really influenced me, both through my new found love of Sumo and my desire to become a JET when I graduate next June.

Again, Thanks!!
