Re: [sumo] Day 6 komments [Spoiler]

Yes, I seem to remember that bout, but the real expert at this tactic was Takanonami, he was always pulling mattas and it seemed to work too. What about this, Hokutoriki meets Asashoryu in a playoff for the yusho, that would be sweet!

	I seem to remember Taka doing the same thing to Akebono on one of the
rare Sumo Digest eps I saw in the mid 90's.  I think it was a masterful
use of tactics.

	I do think that Asa is going to destroy the next 9 opponents, though.
