The battle for the current Grand Sumo Tournament crown Thursday was thrown into tumult as Grand Champion Kagamisato went down to his third defeat of the tourney, getting licked by underdog Matsunobori.
    In another major upset on the 12th day of the sumofest at the Kokugikan, another Yokozuna, Tochinishiki, fell before the onslaughts of Wakanohana for his fifth loss.
