He's a yokozuna now and really has no need to hurry things. He is strong enough and he knows it. Note that he doesn't do any of the gloating after a long bout, as if he performed a miracle. He said himself, in his yusho Q & A, that he wants to perform as a yokozuna should - and I am paraphrasing. He certainly is doing so and giving delight to the audience. Also, his knees are ticking time bombs. His bouts taking double the time they used to, seem to be indicative of his wanting not to re-injure them. </span></div><div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><br></span></div><div><font color="#000000"><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">Regards,</span></font></div><div><font color="#000000"><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">Barbara</span></font></div><div><font color="#000000"><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><br></span></font></div><div><font color="#000000"><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><br></span></font></div><div><font color="#000000"><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><br></span></font><div><br><br><div dir="ltr">Sent from my iPad</div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">On Sep 28, 2021, at 10:52 PM, R.

<div dir="ltr">Alright, I am tired of this. I don't have a clue what this means. Does it mean he is taking his time more to protect his knees? Does it mean that he knows he can beat most everybody alive, and just is waiting them out to crush them? Does it mean he is losing it because he is getting older and has bad knees? Does it mean his Oyakata is paying him by the second, and he makes more money this way?</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Iinstead of just trading barbs about how obvious this is, how about explaining what you think it means, and share it with the rest of us.</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">And Barb, this is not just directed at you.
