Tachiai Aki Basho Podcast – Basho Preview And Predictions

Bruce H Aki Basho 2022, Podcasts

The final installment of our Aki Basho podcast, we preview the tournament, and who we think is going to be in competition for the cup this September. With Isegahama oyakata COVID positive, will Terunofuji compete? Can shin-sekiwake Hoshoryu be able to reach kachi-koshi at his highest ever rank? Will we see fireworks as Asanoyama works to battle back to the salaried ranks from Makushita 15, hunting for a 7-0 yusho. We have our always regrettable prediction, and so much more.

Yes, aware there are some audio problems in the YouTube version…
