Yokozuna Hakuho outclassed Goeido to stay perfect through six days, leading an unbeaten group of three at the New Year Grand Sumo Tournament on Friday.
Hakuho made it 13-for-13 against Goeido in the day's finale, never giving his opponent a chance as the Mongolian bulldozed the second-ranked maegashira to his fifth defeat at Ryogoku Kokugikan.
Hakuho was joined at the top by ozeki Baruto and Kotooshu, who barely broke a sweat in improving to 6-0.
Trailing the trio - all foreigners - at 5-1 were ozeki Harumafuji and Kisenosato, sekiwake Kakuryu and a pair of No. 13 maegashira, Chiyonokuni and Tenkaiho. (Japan Times)
