Hakuho faced off against Harumafuji (who used to be called the much more manageable name of Ama). Harumafuji got the better start out of the face off and got the first belt grip but was nearly shoved out twice, nonetheless. Surviving the second push out attempt, he managed to get Hakuho back to the center of the ring where there was period of stalemate and attempts by both wrestlers to belt-throw the other. Ultimately, the cool and calm Hakuho got the successful one, twisting the belt and adding a push to the head for good measure to upend Harumafuji, preserve a perfect record, and win the tournament.
one of the longest matches I've seen...
