On the third day of the Grand Sumo Spring Tournament, Yokozuna Terunofuji will face off against Asanoyama, an experienced ozeki.
On the second day of the spring tournament, the 11th, Yokozuna Terunofuji scored his first win at the tournament, while three ozekis, including new ozeki Kotonowaka, lost.
On the third day, the 12th, Terunofuji will face Asanoyama, an experienced ozeki and the leading maegashira.
Both Terunofuji and Asanoyama are good at sumo wrestling in the right four, but if they wrestle fully, Terunofuji, who has won all of his past six fights, will likely have an advantage over Asanoyama.
As for Asanoyama, the key seems to be whether he can push the ball all at once and not let the opponent get away with it.
New ozeki Kotonowaka, who lost on the 11th, will face Komusubi Nishikiki, who has won 4 wins and 1 loss in the past.
As Kotonowaka, he wants to get into the right four-shape position without rushing, and even if Nishikigi gets attacked like he did against Terunofuji on the first day, it will be interesting to see if he can use the weight of his hips to leave him at the edge of the ring and push back. is.
Of the remaining Ozeki, Toyo Shoryu, who lost one match, will face Atami Fuji, who defeated Kirishima, on the 11th.
Takakeisho is number one against Akio, and Kirishima, who has lost two in a row, is number one against Ura.
