Great stuff, as always. If we get a Day 1 match-up of Terunofuji vs. Meisei, I think that will be very telling of what Terunofuji's tournament will be like. If he's in fighting shape, Teru should win that. If Meisei (who does pretty well against him) gets the win, that's a sign that our yokozuna probably won't last the tournament.

Thank you! And thanks for that match analysis; I'll confess I'm less familiar with the one on one match ups so very helpful stuff!
