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.
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!!
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.
@@Fuu_Sho Same here man! When I heard Asashoryu's nephew was born I just had to follow every move he made in life. I was there for his first bite of solid food, first steps he took, fist word etc. Even saw his first fight in pre-school, and boy could you tell he had inherited the champion gene!
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.
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.
@@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.
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!
@@bp6475 Even though I am a big Hakuho fan, what you said is true. Arguably a bit of luck and good fortune contributed to the G.O.A.T.'s incredible winning stats.
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.
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!
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.
Как только Хошорю появился в высшем дивизионе, я сказал, что это будущий Великий Чемпион!!! Сегодня ему нет равных по технике и по красоте ведения борьбы, желаю дальнейших успехов!!!
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.
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!!!
When i first saw this man, his face really resemble sumo athlete in the old scripture of sumo. Well we can say he will become the next face of Sumo world..
Hoshoryu zeki has such a cute smile! He looks so happy, and that makes me happy, too. I can tell how much he loves Sumo and he works so hard to get better. I appreciate that effort so much. I really can’t wait for the September tournament!!! ❤ Thank you for the video, Hiro! 😃
@@joannaedwards6325 It's so wonderful how much fans of sumo can get into the action. It's awesome that there's no drama, no arguing, just fans coming together and appreciating the sport. We all have our favorites and don't look down on another for having a different opinion.
My FAVORITE Sumo Wrestler...he can loose 2-3 matches in a row and end up taking out the top wrestler whose 12-1... amazing Sumo by this man and only getting better... hopefully a yokozuna someday...he has what it takes
He has improved leaps n bounds in the last 3 basho if nit the past one year. He will go a long way if he keeps working hard n also control his temperament 😊
I can't believe i missed a complete basho. Hoshoryu i didn't like at first, but on his own merit and improvement, hes won my respect. CONGRATULATIONS HOSHORYU!!!!!
Hoshoryu needs a little more aggression, speed and meat on him to get his bro’s level but he’s got everything it takes to be a great Yokozuna of the next decade!!
Nattosumo usually uploads amazing recaps but his channel always gets down because of copyright claims by the JSA, so fellas, if you want to get views and more exposure just hire the guy!
@dinitis Hakuho at 24 was a Dai Yokozuna with 12 yusho victories. I love your optimism for Hoshoryu, I'm a big fan of his. But there will only be 1 Hakuho in our lifetime, and perhaps of all time.
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…
@@elenas9216 We can't know how the basho would have played out if Hoshoryu lost on day 1 & he was robbed several times before, that's all I have to say about this.
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.

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

Another great Mongolian wrestler is the making and Hoshoryu is his name.🏆👏
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.
followed hoshoryu for many bashos now, so happy to see him become ozeki. Finally!
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!!

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

My favorite bout was when he made Abi kiss the clay wth his butt. Hooray!!!!
Man those throws! He's in great form.
The way he was just ready for wakamotoharus henka and adjusted on the spot is so masterful
Or his balance against Hiradoumi
Yes, he's definitely not the guy to pull a henka on. I remember seeing others try but it never ended well for them 😅

He always comes back better when he gets knocked down. It's been a thrill to watch him improve over the past couple years.
Wow, sumo is getting incredibly exciting with so many young prospects. Was worried after Hakuho retirement, the greatest sports man alive.
No that's Conor McGregor
@@sam7324
Dream on foo.
They took away Asashoryu too early he would have stopped Hakuho. Fate was on Hakuho's side. He's still great though.

🎉 incredible 👏. I truly appreciate his dynamic sumo and ferocious fighting spirit ❤️ .
If I may add I think he has a heck of a smile to boot.
Out of the ring when he is smiling and his eyes are twinkling he could light up a city. Sooo handsome! 💋😊!!
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!
Calling it now...Hoshoryu will be the next Yokozuna
Before Asanoyama? Maybe.
Hakuoho looking at hoshoryus face smiling like here we are 🙂
He deserves it! Well done and we look forward to watching him! ❤

He's Awesome and very skilled ozeki
Now for Hakuoho to catch up with him.
That would be something else if Hoshoryu and Hakuoho both made YZ and had a years long rivalry.
I just came across this channel, and it is awesome. It's helping me learn about sumo wrestling from Australia
Great content!

Love Hoshoryu's style. A true martial artist.
That Kirishima match was great. The match between the Ozeki who got there last basho vs the brand new one is exactly how it should be.
aw man I was rooting for my boy Hokutofuji, however congrats to Hoshoryu
I really thought he had the deities on his side....hopefully he keeps this up.
Amazing. Congratulations
hoshoryu was finally allowed to smile
I love his face at 10:00 he derserves it!!
Hakuhos student facing Asashoryus great nephew in a 3 way play off is literally something out of an anime

In the dohyo, Hoshoryu seems scary and intimidating, but behind the scenes he seems humble and gentle
Thanks for the great broadcast. Please also turn on the original sound.
Hoshoryu (and Ura) my favorites. Their matches are always exciting to watch.
He deserved it for a long time , congrats !
He has improved leaps n bounds in the last 3 basho if nit the past one year. He will go a long way if he keeps working hard n also control his temperament 😊
Hâte d’être en septembre pour voir ce nouvel ozeki et revoir Takakeisho ♥️
My guy. Let's see how it goes in September.
Thank you for the english Sumo broadcast. It's very informative how you explain everything. Good job! You have my subscription to your channel.
I can't believe i missed a complete basho. Hoshoryu i didn't like at first, but on his own merit and improvement, hes won my respect.
CONGRATULATIONS HOSHORYU!!!!!
WOOOOO CONGRATS~!!!!!!!!!!!
какие добрые лица у этих больших ребят когда они улыбаются.
Congrats to Hoshoryu! Just need Wakatakakage to get promoted to Ozeki and all my favorites will be Ozeki!
HEAR! HEAR!
Asashoryuu's nephew with Harumafuji's sumo style! 🔥🔥🔥
He's my favorite Rikishi
I dont know why. But i always forget Hoshoryu, Meisei and Akua are in the same stable and i always get surprised everytime im reminded of that fact.
Too bad you couldn't do an interview and heya visit. Maybe for his next yusho.
Hoshoryu will be our next yokozuna. Then Asanoyama, as long as his bicep heals.
no Kirishima??because he will do it
@@quackkuryu4680 My only doubt with Kirishima is his back....other than that, he is more than capable to make yokozuna.
Great! But you could lose the music. Please...
Семейное значит))) Ну я рад! Молодец, он радует своими боями.
Happy fans ❤ dynamic sumo 🎉 ❤❤❤
Thank you
I can’t wait to see him as Yokozuna!
Golden Boy is now Golden Champion
Good video.
I love watching the recaps. But where do I watch the matches?
Why is he so cute though. 😭💕
Cool 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
07:56 Asashoryu - Hakuho 😂😂😂
Congrats to Hoshoryu for the promotion. Though I gotta admit, I was really rooting for Hokutofuji to win the Basho.
Hoshoryu Tomokatsu on his way to Yokozuna!
Bro the voice thought I'm watching anime some anime lol 😂
Hoshoryu needs a little more aggression, speed and meat on him to get his bro’s level but he’s got everything it takes to be a great Yokozuna of the next decade!!
demon face 🔥
Thats because all he had bottled up, but he seems like a pretty chilled dude.
I remember immediately thinking of Takanohana's Oni Face when I saw that look on Hoshoryu! So happy to see him doing so well!
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Congrats to Hoshoryu! But didn't he touch the ground with his hand first in the match against Tobizaru?
Serious question, if Hoshoryu wins the next tournament, will he make Yokozuna? Considering he's now Ozeki and winning double in a row.
Likely not. The minimum requirement is two consecutive yusho *at* Ozeki level. So if he wins both September and November basho then yes.
I do not see a Subscribe option.
❤❤❤
That victory against bout fixer Asanoyama was such a sweet one.
Bout fixer?
wtf are you talking about?
next yokozuna
HOSHORYU NUMBA 1
You sure he is not twins？ man… he looks identical to his uncle
Where can I watch sumo?
I had a chance to watch the July Grand Sumo in Nagoya when streamers share their feed during the live events.
Like LeoDickinsonSumo
Twitch or TH-cam just search for streamers on the next tournament in September
Nattosumo usually uploads amazing recaps but his channel always gets down because of copyright claims by the JSA, so fellas, if you want to get views and more exposure just hire the guy!
Right here on YT. Chris Sumo provides basho highlights with English commentary.
Another Hakuho in the making perhaps?
