Well Folks,
Any talk of Ozeki Harumafuji taking the July yusho have been silenced by his 3 losses and six wins. Obviously, the former Ama is not ready for the level of consistency it takes, to win 2 bashos in a row and a chance at promotion to Yokozuna. Speaking of Yokozunas, Asashoryu has suffered 2 losses and is not likely to be a contender for this Grand Sumo tournament. Nor Sekiwake Kisenosato with 7-2, as well. However, Yokozuna Hakuho is looking invincible, with a 9-0 record. While Hakuho looks remarkably like the great Yokozuna Taiho, his demeanor and composure. sure remind me of Yokozuna Takanohana. He remains yet unbeaten. So is Ozeki Kotooshu, at 9-0. Boy, I sure hope these two giants make it to a play-off on day 15! Ozeki Kotomitsuki is running a close second place with 8-1. Anyone have any predictions? Say, what about you John?
Be well and practice often, Jon Palombi
