The fight, which took place last weekend, was dominated by Shutaro from the beginning. With mastery and technique, the smaller fighter used the ashitori, known as a 'leg catch', to unbalance the opponent and knock him to the ground. The scene, which shocked viewers, highlighted Shutaro's strategic talent, proving that size is not always synonymous with strength.

Shutaro's victory not only marked a personal triumph, but also sparked debate about the structure of fights. In Grand Sumo, the most popular form of the sport, wrestlers, called rikishi, compete in a hierarchical league system with no weight classes.
