Very excited for this! Terunofuji was in bad form and struggling with injuries in a few of their past meetings, but they've both been on their games this tournament. It seems from most talk that I've seen, that a yokozuna promotion is expected for Terunofuji even if he loses tonight.

Sweet, thanks.

Dang, Hak wins, was hoping for Terunofuji to take it. 45th yusho for Hak and 16th! time he's done it 15-0

We should know today if Terunofuji is being promoted. Consensus is yes, but winning the title would've left no doubt.

What drama in that match! Another notch on the belt of the Greatest of All Time. The match was excellent, and I'm confident Terunofuji will continue to be a force for a while to come.

You guys think Hakuho calls it a career here or will he continue on?

He’s going to continue on IMO.
