Re: [sumo] Asashouryuu AWOL



IMS, he was down on his face in a second or two, a very un-Takanohana way of losing. More than a few people had their doubts about that bout, but the hey, it was his big brother. Now that they're feuding he's twisting the knife: "Oh yeah, that bout, well I...uh...(wink, wink)."

Urban legend. It was a 20 second-ish bout, which is quite long in Sumo terms, and he was never "down on his face"-he was pushed/thrown out on the tawara. That said, Taka could have "thrown" the match, who knows..In any case, it was far from being over in seconds.
For convenience, I've uploaded the bout- jerkier than beef, but you can still get the picture..
