🕑 Added 2024-09-08 12:34:01 +0000 UTCSekiwake Onosato has a chance at ozeki promotion this basho if he can get 12 or more wins. Will he get his first win here on Day 1 against M2 Atamifuji?
Enjoy!

Great match! Atamifuji almost had it! Great effort.

There was a story I heard from Chris Sumo’s channel that the promotional committee criticized him for too many retreating wins. Saying that he mathematically needs 12 wins for promotion but they will also take into consideration the manner of his wins. They want him to win moving forward more properly making use of his size and power

I'm a big fan of both of these guys. Looking forward to either or both of them becoming Yokozuna. I feel like Onosato's pension for fighting in a sidewise stance could be an exploitable weakness he'll have to overcome, but even with that he's a beast.

Onosato is still fighting too high. He has to get lower. Good call here though

Good call, Onosato still had 1 foot firmly planted in the ring. He wasn’t exactly “flying out”….
