Day 7 has been and gone and now we are starting to weed out the pretenders from the contenders. And there’s some surprising wrestlers still in that lead pack.
Had more great bouts this day. Shodai vs. Takakeisho was especially exciting. I also really enjoyed Endo vs. Hiradoumi, Hokutofuji vs. Wakamotoharu and Ryuden vs. Ura.
Results, highlights and analysis are up on BE for your viewing/reading pleasure. (link)
