Endoh looks awful battling former sanyaku rikishi

M1 Endoh made a rare de-geiko appearance at the Kasugano-beya this morning battling the two former sanyaku rikishi in Tochiohzan and Tochinoshin; however, the youngster failed to impress fighting a total of 16 bouts and coming up on the wrong end of the straw including an embarrassing tsuri-dashi loss at the hands of Juryo rikishi, Tochinoshin. Endoh attempted to secure his favored hidari-yotsu position from the tachi-ai during the session but was constantly rebuffed by his opponents leaving him shaking his head in confusion after each loss. Afterwards, Endoh was optimistic in his comments stating, "Today nor tomorrow is the hon-basho, so I still have some time to prepare." This was Endoh's first de-geiko experience in six months and the first time he's ever ventured out to another stable for practice prior to a Tokyo basho. "I'm not quite used to doing keiko with sekitori," he quipped. "I definitely noticed a difference in environment and intensity out there." Endoh is schedule to return to the Kasugano-beya tomorrow for another workout.
