MONGOLIAN SUMO SENSATION WINS FIRST TITLE AND RISES TO OZEKI

[@Cut2Finish]

I'm glad Hoshoryu finally won a tournament. He has been very consistent and deserved the promotion as well.

[@CherryBlossomskt]

10:07 I cried so much seeing Hoshoryu cry. He’s usually so stoic. It was so refreshing to see him break down just a little bit. Much deserved. What a champion you are.

[@aaronlopez492]

Another great Mongolian wrestler is the making and Hoshoryu is his name.🏆👏

[@Blind3866]

Been watching Hoshoryu for a whle now. Really glad to see him make it to the rank of Ozeki. Maybe this time next year we can hope he can be Yokozuna.

[@lennerio7600]

followed hoshoryu for many bashos now, so happy to see him become ozeki. Finally!

[@furrybogard9724]

Wow! His technique is SO solid. It's very refreshing to see a Rikishi not only use brute force and muscle, but textbook maneuvers as well. That was a treat.

[@countstoneula]

Agreed! Apparently he did jujitsu before sumo. It’s amazing to see what a well rounded rikishi he is because of it. You never know what he’s going to do. That Asanoyama is a great example, even seeing it again for the second time in this video it caught me off guard.

[@furrybogard9724]

@@countstoneula That was the exact moment I went, ' Let's see how this plays out. Could be become very interesting.' His fights were awesome in this tournament.

[@joannaedwards6325]

My favorite bout was when he made Abi kiss the clay wth his butt. Hooray!!!!

[@R0xxo]

Congrats to Hoshoryu on the win and promotion to Ozeki! He's been a long time favorite of mine. I love his intensity and drive. You can tell that he puts everything into each match. It was moving to see his emotions come out after the playoff victory. Very strong fighting spirit. I hope he will continue onto many championships and go on a Yokozuna run in 2024!

[@OzekiTK]

The way he was just ready for wakamotoharus henka and adjusted on the spot is so masterful

Or his balance against Hiradoumi

[@aszechy]

Yes, he's definitely not the guy to pull a henka on. I remember seeing others try but it never ended well for them 😅

[@HelstonTube]

I've been watching him since he was in Makushita and you could see he had something special. I'm happy for him and excited to see how powerful he can become!!

[@Fuu_Sho]

Agree, he is the first rikishi I watched every professional bout of. When I heard asashoryu's nephew turned pro I just had to follow him from the very beginning in division 6. You could already see there that he will go very far. From the active rikishi is he by favorite.

[@Ric_Vicious]

Judo, lol. It's his implementation of MFckin Judo to his Sumo, that gives him that edge! All hail the age of GOLDEN BOY!

What a tournament for Hoshoryu! All his bouts were super exciting. His wins were super convincing, and he won against big names. Well deserved promotion! I hope we can see him go even further!

Calling it now...Hoshoryu will be the next Yokozuna

[@joannaedwards6325]

Before Asanoyama? Maybe.

A star finally rises to shine more brightly. So very pleased he's finally made the Ozeki rank. He's going all the way to the top!

[@furrybogard9724]

If I may add I think he has a heck of a smile to boot.

[@luciagianquitto4010]

I adore him and i hope that he will get all the great things he deserves❤❤❤

[@MyselfTheThird]

May I suggest an ongoing series about sumo's various outliers? Wrestlers that were either notable for their sheer size, or wrestlers that went against the traditional conventions of what makes a successful rikishi and how they overcame said obstacles. Absolute units like Konishiki who fought their way to ozeki and the challenges he faced being the first foreigner to achieve the rank, or smaller rikishi like Takanoyama (who got me into sumo) or more recently Enho. Sumo is a sport rooted in such tradition and heritage with such an emphasis being put on stringent uniform training, which makes it all the more intriguing when outliers appear. It would be neat to see them highlighted in some way.

[@Ric_Vicious]

EverEver since his match against... (I forget, lol) whoever last year where he PULLED HIS ARM AWAY from rocketing toward the ground, hitting his face on the GD dohyo. It went to a torinaoshi, and he hip tossed the opposition just like he did to Asanoyama. Ever since then, I've been a hardcore fan of Golden Boy. The man means business!!!

[@Wysedroid]

He deserves it! Well done and we look forward to watching him! ❤

[@lordsangone]

Looks like a younger Asashoryu (both Mongolian) but better lookin. Its a very high bar but who knows, the new Mongolian sensation has the right bloodline and skills to reach Yokozuna one day. Show uncle Asashoryu that the tradition of winning and representing the Mongolian sumo scene for future generations.

[@freethepeople4093]

He's been my favorite since I first started watching Sumo 3 or 4 years ago. Hope he can reach the top of the mountain.

[@basmatine]

Love Hoshoryu! So happy for him.

[@bbatjargal1549]

Obviously, he has genes that will help him to win - He is related to Asashoryu whose father is a famous Mongolian wrestler - Outstanding Elephant - his title.

[@chaosdromanah8620]

Serious question, if Hoshoryu wins the next tournament, will he make Yokozuna? Considering he's now Ozeki and winning double in a row.

[@MrPassivefist]

Likely not. The minimum requirement is two consecutive yusho *at* Ozeki level. So if he wins both September and November basho then yes.

[@joannaedwards6325]

​@@SkywalkersFather171 And so it is

[@tvbox6955]

Why are there no foreigners among the gyogi?

[@rantanen1]

Just like everything in Sumo, people tend to get into it very very young, and the gyojis join and are part of a stable just the same as the wrestlers and are ranked. Foreigners move to Japan to be sumo wrestlers, but I don't think many are interested in moving to Japan at an early age and starting from the bottom to be a gyoji, nor do people get scouted by coaches to become gyoji either. I don't really think there is much appeal in moving to Japan as a teenager to try to be a gyoji, there also isn't that many of them. Stables have an average of one gyoji, some have a couple and some have none.

[@iisan1]

You sure he is not twins？ man… he looks identical to his uncle

[@Leo_prado]

So, what's the point if there's no way for western audience to watch full tournaments legally? As you're an official rep of the japanese sumo association which this channel is, can you shed some light on this? What's going on?

[@elenas9216]

Hoshoryu is a great rikishi and deserves to win. However, on the first day he and Tobizaru were too close and if the benefit of doubt was given, it should had been given to both. Also, I believe it was this time that Hoshoryu first touched the dohyo with his hand, which was seen well on the slow motion replay then. No one knows how the action would go if he lost his very first fight in July… I just hope he will be able to support this his title with many more…

I’ve seen the judges rob Hoshoryu a few times in mono ii. This time it went his way.
