Akebono cheats and loses

Musashi, Japan's K1 Champion VS Akebono

210cm, 350+kg Akebono vs 185cm, 110kg Musashi... guess who wins?

Akebono pile driver beats on the head of Musashi and is red carded in the 2nd Round. Restarts the 2nd Round with meaningless weak hits at Akebono fat. The 3rd Round has Akebono SLOWLY walking around and Musashi gamely neko punching fat.
Decision: Musashi wins on points 'cause Akebono is a cheater.

What was going on in Akebono's head punching the back of Musashi's nut when he was down? He must know the damn rules and there aint too many of them.
Sheesh

Akebono... must know the damn rules and there aint too many of them.

Akebono had to figure out a way to lose since he was winning against a Japanese.

It was a disgraceful display of fighting - and Akebono should be forced to cover up that flabby body...he was in much better shape when he was sumo-ing...ugh

Akebono is a disgrace. His humiliating decline to incompetent sideshow act would be pitiful if only it hadn't been inspired by greed.
His license to fight, if he has one, should be revoked.
He was being paid a more than reasonable stipend by the sumo association but turned his back on it and demeaned himself by biting off more than he could chew.
He should retire immediately and go into showbiz before he loses what remaining credibility he has left.

Doesn't quite do justice to Akebono's amazing build. Didn't you just love the ripple effect every time he was punched?

My God! I thought that was the crowd doing the Mexican Wave

Exactly. Akebono sucks and he just doesn't get it.

But I don't think he has any credibility left. He should just go back to Hawaii and work at McDonald's or something.
