Bout of the Day: Day 1 of the May 2025 GRAND SUMO Tournament – NHK WORLD-JAPAN
Oho on the left and Koto Zakura on the right. Equati Koto Zakura taking him back. Right hand Na attack left and inside for both men. Oho doing a great job of staying in the game and going back to dead center. Now Cotto Zakura not in his preferred stance of the right hand inside. He wants to extend and get an outside grip, but he has to before that make sure that Uroho doesn’t get an inside position. Balancing act and Uho looking to seize that Mayamitu grip with the right of Poto Zakura making sure he keeps his hips away. He does have that left hand in but nothing with the outside. He goes for a machai double hand inside position for the ozi but overall great resilience and look at over shifting to the left and taking down the ozi. It’s an upset. The bout taking just over a minute and it’s Oh trampling the ozi in this 1 minute 4 second matchup. Papasashi.
