Basho Fury - 1981 Nagoya, Makuuchi Day Three

Tuesday July 7th 1981
Nagoya, Aichi Prefectural Gymnasium

Dewanohana was upset in his first loss of the tournament to Kotochitose, but Hidnohana, in the match of the day, stayed perfect when he put down the favoured Takamiyama, and Chiyonofuji had to beat a very determined Washuyama who employed a very effective defensive strategy just waiting for the chance to cause a huge shock.
