Day 3 Aki 2021 So who was a grumpy pants 2 days ago? Thats right, this muppet. Day 2 and Day 3 have been fantastic. Lots of excitement and some rather long bouts. Takakeisho does not look well. He has been grasping for some easy wins and failing. Not surprising seeing as he is going through the Maegashira higher levels. Seeing as he is kadoban, it is not looking good for him. I expect to see Takakeisho demoted and looking for 10 wins to regain Ozeki. A shame in many ways. This will leave Shodai as the sole Ozeki too. During today's bout with Ichinojo, we got to see Ichinojo be sort of agile and move out of the way. This was a shock to all. Particularly Takakeisho who fell off the dohyo. Takayasu has found himsself in long bouts for 2 days in a row. He is historically known for it in fairness. However, Kiribayama got the better of Takayasu today. Tobizaru has been winning! We see a totally different flying monkey to Nagoya. Perhaps he prefers Tokyo? Who knows with that variable but delightful chimp? Our Yokozuna is 3-0. Although yesterday's bout with Hoshoryu could have caused upset. Hoshoryu resisted some of Terunofuji's standard moves and had a cheeky attempt which visibly shocked Terunofuji. However, Hoshoryu still found himself out of the Dohyo. Lots of excitement which is hard to write about. This muppet is having cat on a hot tin roof syndrone where focus is hard. Do yourself a favour and watch some bouts!
