September Grand Sumo Tournament: Day 9 Update:

BARUTO REMAINS UNDEFEATED! WOW!!

Standings as of Day 9:
Makuuchi:
Hakuho 8-1
Kotooshu 6-3 (a win today, back on track!)
Kotomitsuki 6-3 (a loss today to Toyonoshima)
Chiyotaikai 7-2 (surprising loss to Homasho)
Takamisakari 3-6 (Good Job a win today over Ryuo)
Aminishiki 8-1 (he has suffered his first loss today to veteran Wakanosato)

Juryo:
Baruto 9-0

This means Baruto remains the only one undefeated this tournament! That is fantastic! As for Makuuchi the lead is tied now with Hakuho and Aminishiki & Goeido. While Aminishiki is good he'll be facing higher and higher ranked wrestlers from now on and it will get tougher. Then ultimately even if he and Hakuho were to remain tied on the last day it would be a face off between them! I doubt Hakuho would let himself lose after his opening day Yokozuna debut defeat! I'm sure he is powered up for the rest of the tourney!

Tomorrow's best match in my opinion will be Chiyotaikai vs. Aminishiki!! While Chiyo is 7-2 he is really powerful and will be geared up to win for sure since Aminishiki's record is better! This will be the match to watch!

Good Luck to all of these guys on Tuesday!!
