- Asashoryu versus Hakuho for me is one of the most exciting and intense rivalries in Sumo History. Both wrestlers have the perfect combination of strength, speed, fighting spirit and elite grappling skills that made them almost unbeatable in their prime. So I decided to compile all of their bouts and made a breakdown for each match.
Hakuho and Asashoryu fought 29 times in their career and I broke it down to three parts series. Hope you enjoy this video and see you on the next one! Hakkeyoi!!

The absolute aggression Asashoryu displayed while fighting other rikishi, especially Mongolian rikishi, was insane. He didn’t care about looking like a bad guy, he only cared about two things: victory, and teaching the young Mongolians aggressive behaviors.
They are samurais at the end of the day although of Mongolian origins. that's the way they have to be if you want to be a warrior
@@Hasar08 very true
I wish he'd left it in the fight though, I didn't like the stare downs and looks of disapproval when he'd get henka performed on him.
@@AG-ol2gb Well, I could see the frustration because they couldn't match his aggression
Imagine asashoryu size like hakuho
Both where next-level. Haven't seen this level of Sumo in a long time. Hakuho was still able to get a Zensho Yusho in his last ever basho at 36 yrs old. Mongolians are something else.
Imagine they are just children playing with toys compared to their ancestors 😂
Their skill is way beyond the rank of Yokozuna.. They sure made Sumo super interesting
Nobody could touch these two. They beat everybody else in so many different ways. Next level as compared to what we are watching currently. Nothing against any of those guys. Remember Hakuho's last fight? He nearly ripped Terunofuji's arm off and went 15-0 at 36! Thank you for an amazing video Don Don! Looking forward to part two!
The end of that fight was like you or your arm
,I would say Takanohana is close to these two,I only judge the wrestlers whom I was fighting.
2005 Asashoryu was untouchable. Identical to 2010 Hakuho. Really a shame Asa had to retire early.
The fact that Asashoryu still prevented Hakuho to get a perfect streak in 2010 before retirment just shows how difficult it was to match up against him.
I honestly think that this rivalry really helped hakuho become the Yokozuna that he was. He was monstrous and unstoppable at his best.
These matches are so insane. It's like two wild animals locked in a cage when they start. I always catch myself holding my breath when the match is over. It's something to watch two of the best to ever do it going all out at each other in their prime.
I fell in love with sumo because of Asashoryu. I looked through it from the beginning. The sumo of the techie appeared immediately. After reading it, he wrestled in Mongolia and it was very evident in his technique. Anyone can say anything... Asashoryu is No1!
Two absolute legends! I also enjoy & miss Akebono & Musashimaru as well. Great upload!
I am so happy you made this as I have seen many videos of Hakuho vs Asashoryu bouts, but none I have seen give the Year, Tournament Day, Record at that time of the tournament, and rank of each. This adds so much because it gives context to the bout. I never had even realized how much of a difference this makes while watching these bouts until I saw, this video. A match up where they are both undefeated vs on undefeated and the other with 4 losses completely changes the context. I found myself in the edge of my seat watching the playoff match because of the weight it carried. I am sure I had seen that match many times in other videos but didn't know the background. Makes all the difference in the world. Keep up the excellent work!!!!!!
Man, say what you will about Asa outside the ring but once he stepped in that dohyo he was an absolute MONSTER! No one else gave Hakuho a run for his money like he did, we're so lucky we got to see these two battle it out in their prime. Great compilation and break down Don Don!
What happened outside the ring?
@@MoejiiOsmanTV A lot. Asa punched a waiter (official note) and got forced retirement with a big payout. He was feuding with Kyokoshozan one of the first Mongolian Makuuchi rishiki and both tried to ruin the other constantly, but ppl like Hakuho and especially Haramafuji were friends with Kyoko so Asa kinda lost out but had a massive amount of behind the scenes pull and eventually got Kyoko fired in 2017. Asa was also a bit of an intimidating asshole and slapped his stablemate at his heya often and practiced the bullying a lot. He then also have said some controversial stuff lately and he is disliked as much as liked.
I focus on the Dohyo and the memories and he still stands, for me, as the greatest era and spectable in Sumo ever, especially when Hakuho came on the scene.
I mean 18 yrs (with 108 bashos) and 75+ basho wins between them, thats 70+ % of the wins OVER 18 YEARS of Sumo!
@@barath4545 A sumo is a sumo inside and outside of the ring. Grace, civility, respect. All traits that should be expected of a sumo, especially a top ranking sumo. That sort of behavior is unacceptable and tarnishes his career forever.
Thanks for allowing me to relive these moments. Great video with great analysis. Highlights the amount of work and dedication that Hakuhou put into becoming the greatest Yokozuna---and Sumo wrestler. period---of all time.
Fantastic series. I have seen many of these matches previously, but the context you provided makes them all the more epic. Thanks for all the hard work you put into this!
I miss these two legends of sumo. Asashōryū had such ferocity in the ring while Hakuhō displays such grace and skill. Over time I feel like Hakuhō got more and more aggressive, perhaps because of this intense rivalry. Thanks for the video, Don Don!
DUDE, you are Amazing. The best breakdown ever of the matches between these two. can't wait to see part 2
With you all the way on this Don Don----I don't ever expect to see a rivalry like this again in my lifetime. Two gigantic forces of nature; like twin Alpha-Male, Apex Predators competing for the same food source (Yusho)! I was blessed to be a fan during this time, and doubly-blessed to relive it through your videos---Thank you, and looking forward to the next chapter....
Asashoryu and Hakuho are the great wrestlers ever. They are quick, agressive and have both strong gripings. Very interesting to view all their bouts.
Likewise also Enho. The smallest and greatest wrestler in the entire world. Small but terrible
Man what an awesome video you threw in!
Music, edition, info, content.
Very appreciated. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
you're killing it with an awesome video once again !!
This series can easily go down as the best videos made on Summo ever! what a great great work, thank you very much
As a newer sumo fan I really appreciate the way this is edited and formatted, thanks for making this excellent and informative video.
I have a feeling watching this video was the best 12 minutes of my day. And maybe it got me fired up enough to get some work done 🤣
Brilliant video, can’t wait for part 2…
Those two were in a completely diferent level
Some wrestlers just push and push and that's it
But these two ALWAYS show incredible techniques
Great vídeo, Don! Can't wait for part 2. Thanks!
That is a great video!!
Can't wait for the 2nd part!
Breakdowns are getting better!! Great video!!!
Wonderfully done. Great descriptions of legendary videos. Kudos.
Loved everything about this video. Just superb as always, don don!
The absolute monsters of the sport. The greatest that ever was, and probably the greatest that ever will be... and they performed at the same time. Phenomenal.
Yessss, I was literally just thinking about these two yesterday when talking about sumo to someone who has never seen it
Damn me too, I was thinking yesterday about Hakuho's golden era and Asashoryu. Strange.
Nice! Very very good, thank's for this video!
this was dope. thanks. ill watch morehappily
Huge thanks for uploading this great video!
Awesome, looking forward to part 2
Well done. Love your videos!
Part 1 is where Hakuho is learning all the tricks from Asashoryu.. part 2 is when the student destroy's the teacher. it's like night and day, total domination of Hakuho over Asa.
there is no p2
Great video, looking forward to part two!
This is awesome. Thank you for making this.
my 2 favorite sumo legends, total beasts.
First time in awhile that the CZcams algorithm recommended me an awesome channel! I’m about to binge.
only about title i have to tap like ti this video! Thank you very much for doing what you do to great sport Sumo!
Wow!! As usual a fantastic breakdown video. Learnt lots of sumo techniques and that too from the clash of the Titans. Liked it very much 👍
Thank you
Much appreciated!
@@DonDonSumo thank you so much I’m really enjoy it kindly where’s part2
@@DonDonSumo 初めまして、私は日本人ですが日本人以上にモンゴル人が好きです。
私は横綱白鵬関に憧れていて横綱白鵬関に手紙を書きました。
そして横綱白鵬関とお会いする事が出来ました。
引退した今でも横綱白鵬関とは手紙やり取りする仲です。
横綱白鵬関に1番強い横綱になってとお願いして横綱白鵬関は私との約束通り1番強い横綱になってくれました。
Perfect video series idea!
Omg. This channel open my eyes on this sport. Sumo very interesting discipline. Thx for review. 🤝💪
You did a very very nice job on your editing here. My hat off to you, sir. Thanks for the entertainemnt.
I only started watching sumo 2 years ago I'm so gutted I missed the matches and rivalries of these two!
Perfect breakdown. Thank you.
It's so weird to see Hakuho manhandled in such fashion, considering that later in his career he seemed untouchable
Hakuho dominated Asashoryu later in his career winning the last six of their encounters straight.
He’s young and learning
@@thegiimp actually Hakuho won the last 7 bouts in competition, however Asashoryu still had it when it really counted--winning tow playoff bouts vs. Hakuho during the streak...It was a period of ascension for Hakuho, while injury and off the Doyho problems for Asa would ultimately rob us of a few more years of this intense rivalry. It would also clear the way for Hakuho to go on a 63 bout winning streak with the retirement of his greatest foe.
@@thegiimp dang...
@@thegiimp The longevity you have with sumo is enviable! Your comments much appreciated by this reader!
I saw the last two Basho's of Haramafuji. It broke my heart.
Keep commenting! ; )
This is an excellent content!!!! Wow miss them. Beast mode 🔥🔥🐐🐐
Man I remember watching sumo when I was a kid and everytime when they start, whole family gets fired up.
Don Don is the man. Great content brother!
I've only just started watching Sumo, and i must say i thoroughly enjoy it.
I miss my absolute favorites, as they were 1. Asashoryu (for me a true LEGEND!), 2. Takamisakari (1000thanks for his unforgetable appearances, also before and after the fights, for me THE best Robocop and Godzilla EVER.....the most likeable guy!) I will NEVER in my life forget the fight, when Takamisakari won the fight against Asashoryu!! All my best wishes go to them BOTH!
Such a great quality of the video. Pleasure for the eyes to watch such work. Too bad that sumo isn't popular, so not much people could watch all beauty of japanese wrestling.
I love Asashoryu's expression after that first Henka in 2005
love the raw emotion of asashoryu. you could feel his aggression.
Great summary. Asashoryu's emotional outbursts were often controversial during his active career, and he was actually forced to retire due to a dispute with anti-social forces, but his straightforward and honest personality was loved by many Japanese. I too prefer Asashoryu to Hakuho.
is a great video, has a great edition, and excellent comments thanks
This is now my go to morning
upper fix enabling me to face the world. Feeling fierce and charged up I go out my front door.
Asashoryu / Hakuho powered!!
Thank you for such a great video I’ve watched other videos of these greats but not to sound offensive it’s hard to tell who is who mostly due to it being older videos with low quality. But your breakdowns and slow motion make it much better 🫡🫡
Ohhhhh snap here we go 🙈💯 two great yokozunas no doubt about that
90K Yokozuna or Torideki hell if would I care
Your videos are fantastic, I'm just getting into sumo and I don't necessarily want to go into the current tournaments from the start.
I want to learn a bit about the techniques, who are the strongest dudes, the legends of the past, etc.
Good job

You may be a small youtuber @don don but.. your efforts and videos are extremely appreciated.
LOS 2 MAS GRANDES DEL SUMO! QUE BELLEZA GRAN VIDEO GRACIAS : asashoryo el mas emocionante, el que hizo emocionar al mundo, y hakuho el tecnico perfecto.!
Thanks 👍🏻very nicht nice Statistik 👍🏻👍🏻😉✌🏼
These 2 made me watch SUMO. Asa Hakuho.... even Haramufuji is so good too, OMG that era of sumo was the best.
I really love the daggers Asa stares into hakuho after the boutique st 5:52. He was insulted that hakuho would try the henka on him
i miss them.
I'm glad that there are systems in place to keep the rikishi in check but I'm also excited by the passion that Mongolians bring to the sport. These men were peak athletes and thrilling to watch
I wish I had started watching sumo 20 years earlier, I missed so much of Hakuhos career.
良い研究されてますね👍
相撲の怪物２人の闘いが見られる時代に生まれたのがすごい。おそらくこの二人を超える人は長い時間がかかるだろう。
I'm here because sanctuary Netflix ... learn about sumo ... that's interesting ... hahahaha ... great video ... thanks don don ...
Best of best!!!!!
I don't know much about sumo, but i was shocked at the aggresive speed of that Yokozuna's opening attack, which seems trademark as he uses it a lot. I would have never guessed someone so heavy could move at that speed! Good to see his rival at least managed to dodge it once at the 2005 match.
Greatest sumo wrestlers in Japan sumo histories those two Mongolian Asashoryu and Hakuho!
Thanks!
I love Sumo its such a great sport!
Asashoryu vs Hakuho, best matches in Sumo history!
What insane matches
Gota lov the lady's in the back ground going bezerk so cool Savage's 😈🦁
FOR 11 years HAKUHO win 23 championships and ASHASHORYU win 25 championships
ASHASHORYU debut 1999 and become Yokozuna 2003 - 4 years to the title of yokozuna
HAKUHO debute 2001 and become Yokozuna 2007 - 6 years to the title of yokozuna
AND
It took Asashōryū only 23 tournaments from his professional debut to win his first top division title, the fastest ever.
In 2005 - ASASHORYU become the first wrestler to win all 6 tournaments in 1 yaer + he is the first wrestler in sumo history to win 7 consecutive tournaments
In the January 2010 tournament, which was to prove to be the last of his career, Asashōryū clinched his 25th yūshō
U TELL ME WHO IS BETTER :)
70-80% of mongolians stopped watching sumo after Asashoryu retired.
You just listed the impressive resume of Asa but didn't mention the even more impressive resume of hakoru. That's intentional misinformation my friend. 😉
Just because sb "did it first" it doesn't mean it's a more impressive achievement.
Young hakuo had a dominant Asa in front so of course he struggled more... Well "struggled" 😂😂😂
lol stats nerds... same as jordan was nevee even close to being good basketball player same hakuho is million times better than any other yokozuna, its not about stupid numbers, its about absolute domination and humiliation
The point is that Asa paved the way for him. Trained a lot together and if the only reason Hakuho was so successful post-2010 was that there was no Asa to challenge him.@@thomasmuller546
Asashoryu
2005, 1-st day, Hakuho vs Asashoryu... That was nice time for sumo.
Hoshoryu vs Oho gonna be the next rivalry, hopefully
Asa was scary! Only guys he seemed to respect were the Hawaiians
Don’t know a lot about Sumo but played American Football for a number of years. Specifically the O-Line. Asashoryu burst from his stance is dynamic. Seems like he beats guys in the first few seconds by exploding from his stance then using his balance and strength to finish the attack and defend against throws. Where his opponents beat him is by nullifying his burst by using their hands at the point of attack. If you can stalemate his burst, you have a chance to halt him, get position and grip, and begin to maneuver him to the ring edge. Easier said than done.
I come from an Aikido background and I was thinking the same thing. That burst is insane from a guy that size. He knew how to use it to finish early and his opponent knew he only had a chance if he managed to nullify it somehow, which he did with a lot of work in some of the matches. Only once he could actually dodge it cleanly though
I think it would be nice if you make sinilar videos with other rivalies, like:
Kitanoumi vs Wajima
Akebono vs Takanohana
Musashimaru vs Takanohana
Surprised by the pushing and thrusting instead of belt attacks early!
Intense 👍🙂
私は日本人ですが日本人以上にモンゴル人が好きです。

Greatest Rivalry in Sumo Wrestling? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Have you heard about Takanohana and Akebono?
i know they had good matches and fantastic rivalry but takanohana is top 6th yokozuna and akebono is i dont know maybe top 20 yokozuna range he has only 11 yusho but hakuho is the fucking undisputed GOAT and asashoryu is 4th best yokozuna in history so asa hak rivalry should be greatest rivalry in sumo history
Takanohana and Akebono slow no balance at all. booooring sumo sorry
ali vs tyson of SUMO! what a 2 monsters
The look at 6:05 is probably the most badass thing I’ve seen in sumo.
Such a Sik style 🇨🇦🦁
صراع العظماء، افضل مصارعي منغوليا علي ارض اليابان.
The only rival Hakuho ever had...bet he was pissed about his forced retirement as he was (SPOILER ALERT) one win away from tying it up :) Great vid bro
