i mean, akebono has never had any balance being a yokozuna and all!!!
Celtic: I think Royce will do OK if it goes to the ground, but I don't think Royce will get the takedown. Royce's takedowns have never been strong or explosive, and he is going to be trying to take down a 300+ pound former sumo grand champion (i.e. prolly one of the hardest people on the planet to throw or take down). It is far more likely that Akebono will take Royce down and IF Royce survives the slam, he will probably pull something off.
Agreed. Sumo's as far as standing wrestiling goes are no joke. I dont think Royce will get the take down. Maybe if the fight wears on and if Akebono tires.
Akebono's only real chance is to fall on Royce with all that weight and injure him. Its possible but more likely Royce will tire him out and submit him.
If this were a pie eating contest, I KNOW who I would be betting on...
