[QUOTE="Swami, post: 155684, member: 13"] Haru Day 11: Yokozuna Hakuho keeps spotless record Details Written by Kyodo Published: 20 March 2019 Hits: 23 [IMG]http://www.cibersumo.com/images/rikishis/Hakuho_Takakeisho_Haru19_11.jpg[/IMG] Hakuho held off a stern challenge from sekiwake Takakeisho to maintain his perfect 11-0 while maegashira Ichinojo is one-win behind the Mongolian grand champion. In the final bout of the day, Hakuho had to work harder than usual to earn a victory over Takakeisho (8-3). The two wrestlers traded slaps to open the bout, and the younger Takakeisho managed to move the yokozuna toward the edge of the ring. Ever the stalwart, Hakuho maintained his composure before grabbing Takakeisho by the belt with his left hand and sending him tumbling to the dohyo surface with an overarm throw. In a clash between two maegashira wrestlers who started the day at 9-1, Ichinojo slapped down No. 7 Aoiyama (9-2) to remain in the hunt for his maiden makuuchi championship. The 226-kilogram Mongolian won 10 bouts at a single grand tournament for the first time since January 2018, where he was competing as a top-ranked maegashira. In the day's penultimate bout, Kakuryu (9-2) bounced back from his previous day loss by defeating sekiwake Tamawashi (4-7). The yokozuna resisted Tamawashi's slaps, and pulled his opponent forward, while also losing balance and falling. After initially ruling Kakuryu the winner, the judges upheld the decision following a ring conference. Takayasu (9-2) thrust down Tochinoshin (6-5) in a clash between two ozeki wrestlers. He charged into Tochinoshin with his head and grabbed onto the Georgian's belt with both hands. With a left-hand belt hold, Tochinoshin tried to resist, but he was unable to hold on with a taped-up left leg. Tochinoshin, who fights here as a demotion-threatened "kadoban" ozeki, needs two more wins to retain his rank for the next tournament in May. The other ozeki, Goeido (9-2) remained two wins behind Hakuho by bulldozing No. 5 Chiyotairyu (6-5) out of the ring. He will face Takakeisho in his campaign for his second championship on Thursday. Fan-favorite Mitakeumi (5-6) beat Daieisho (5-6) in a slap fest and pushed the second-ranked maegashira out, while fellow komusubi Hokutofuji (3-8) lost to top-ranked maegashira Endo (4-7).
