Three big results on the day with Asashoryu slipping up two days in a row; Homasho also loses touch with the leader; and a big crunch match between the other pair of two-loss competitors.
Asashoryu had a very bright start at the Tachiai but a sudden show of strength had Baruto come out as the winner. Homasho had it tougher from the start with both men fighting to gain momentum for a short while before Kakuryu telegraphed his opponents low charge and helped him on his way.
Goeido and Tochiozan came into today with a loss each, and the latter will be disappointed he lost so easily as Goeido had little trouble claiming victory in short order. All this means that Hakuho just has Hokutoriki right behind him to take advantage of any slip over the next three days.
