Ozeki Takakeisho and Shodai racked up wins during a drama-free day of competition Monday at the Kyushu Grand Sumo Tournament.
There were no major upsets on Day 2 at Fukuoka Kokusai Center, where the 15-day tournament is taking place without lone yokozuna Terunofuji, who had surgery on both knees last month.
Takakeisho dominated No. 1 maegashira Kotonowaka to stay unbeaten, while demotion-threatened kadoban ozeki Shodai earned his first win against another No. 1, Takayasu.
