Takakeishou news

[Moti Dichne]

The Nishonoseki Ichimon rengo-keiko was held at Sadogatake beya yesterday. Ozeki Takakeishou had 11 bouts against Kotonowaka and Ouhou and was 8-3. No all-out forward moving was seen, just  a lot of slapdowns. He seemed to be harboring his old neck injury. "It was as usual, with adjustments. I will be concentrating day by day  and gambarizing- the results will follow," he said. "He hit hard and if he concentrates, he will show his power at the basho!" said Sadogatake the encourager. A high-level yusho should result in a promotion to Yokozuna, suggested the reporter.
