Harumafuji crashed to his third defeat at the hands of Hakuho in the day's penultimate bout at Fukuoka Kokusai Center and Kakuryu (13-1) took full advantage by seeing off ozeki Goeido (9-5). Kakuryu came out of the blocks too early and Goeido then also made a false start in a tense finale. Goeido looked to have an edge with a crunching charge but Kakuryu got inside him to secure victory with a pulling overarm throw. "I'm pleased. I tried to think about it (the title) as little as I could, taking the bout the same as always and that worked well," Kakuryu said. "I tried not to be affected (by Harumafuji's defeat) and I was focusing on my sumo." "It was the same (with two false starts), I was intent on maintaining my mindset and executing my style of sumo and that worked." "I went through a tough period, when physically and mentally things did not come together, but I'm pleased to end the year in a good way like this." Kakuryu faces Harumafuji (11-3) on the final day of the 15-day basho. Hakuho (10-4) read compatriot Harumafuji like a book at the charge, drew him in and swiveled at the edge of the ring to send him out with a textbook kotenage armlock throw. Kisenosato rebounded from his surprise defeat to sixth-ranked Georgian maegashira Tochinoshin on Friday, outlasting Mongolian behemoth Terunofuji (8-6) in an all-ozeki match-up to post an 11th win. Third-ranked maegashira Shodai (11-3) rammed out 15th-ranked makuuchi newcomer Ishiura (10-4) in a rematch after both were deemed to have crashed out of the dohyo at the same time by ringside judges in their first fight. Elsewhere, ozeki Kotoshogiku continued to look like a pale shadow of the wrestler that pulled off a stunning championship win at the New Year meet, getting quickly slapped down at the charge by Bulgarian No. 1 maegashira Aoiyama. Both wrestlers have 4-10 records. Swami [/QUOTE]
