Kotooshu can win this tournament.

Is it just me, or does the J-Media just LOOOOOOOVE it when Asa loses?

the j-media only drools when asashoryu loses to a japanese wrestler. when he loses to another foreigner, only the people who dislike him get geeked.

If Kotooshu wins this tourney - which is a strong possibility - is promotion to Yokozuna likely? We could have the first white-guy Sumo champ!

the Bulgarian boy has had a poor show since becoming Ozeki. There is little chance of him becoming Yokozuna unless he can win 2 back to back emperors cups and have a few solid outings prior to that but its far fetched to imagine it.

Asa is best under pressure.

I seriously doubt the Bulgarian Boy is going to win this basho. That means getting past the two yokozuna and Ama, er, Haramafuji.
