See that? He lost to a Komusubi! I'm a (JapanSoc) Komusubi!
That you are Nick! You wanna try and beat Asahoryu? You might end up a flat Komasubi :O
That is 6000+ points. Wow. Pretty sweet. I'll race you to yokozuna! Haha.
And seriously, don't tell Asa that. He'll take those huge arms and bicep curl you! XD
Asa seems to be making this something of a habit - lose the first bout, then storm back with a string of wins. Maybe he likes being the underdog? Lucky for me here in Canada, TV-Japan broadcasts all the tourneys though a day delayed - i won't see Asa lose til this afternoon. Spoilers! (lol).
If you happen to be up at 3 am (lol) you can always check out the Nihon Sumo Kyokai's English page for the live feed. Its not the best quality ever, but its better than nothing.
