There is also a picture on page C2 of today's LA Times that shows Konishiki
being thrown. (Black and white photo, inside the cover of the Sports section).

Quite possibly this is the same photo you describe.  The LA Times does not have
an article on the subject  however.

Instead, it is simply labelled "1,000 Words' Worth", and has the following
caption:

*****

Lard of the ring - There has been some concern recently in Japan that sumo
wrestlers are getting to heavy, but Takanohana didn't have any trouble throwing
605-pound Konishiki.

*****

This is a photo from Day 10 or 11 I believe, of the most recent Aki-basho.  In
this match, Konishiki NEARLY had Takanohana pushed out of the dohyo, but
balancing on the rice bales he was able to twist Konishiki down for the win.
