The biggest difference of this and Japanese grand sumo is the power of tachi-ai. The initial charge of grand sumo is like two bulls colliding head to head. That's a real fight and impresses any NFL line man. Japanese wrestlers spend bulk of their training time pushing the opponent(called oshi-zumo).

A powerful tachi-ai is only useful if you have weight as it determine a inician advantage, that is why smaller sumokas don't use force but speed to get a positional advantage.

Suppose more mattrass around the ring for safety, player neck can snap if fall from the ring without mattrass.

I love how the commentators use "trained in Japan" as an attribute of competence. These guys are well aware that true rikishi are far superior to anyone who doesn't live the sumo lifestyle at a stable. Like, the man who kept winning championship after championship abroad, Byamba's (R.I.P.) highest division in Japan was only Makushita, which isn't even a salaried level.

Wait, so, in pro sumo there are no weight classes? That seems a little off. a 155-pound man should NOT go up against a 187-pound man. That's hardly fair. EDIT: Nevermind, I guess that 8:54 is the reason why sumo doesn't require similar weight matchups. the 155 pound man beat the 184 pound man.

The reason there are no limitsis because it's tradition. Nobody is 155 in pro sumo, even if you're short you can still get heavier and better your technique, not to mention you have the speed advantage as well as greater endurance. I'd also like to mention the rank of Yokozuna. They are THE best in sumo and are held in very high regard.. Having a "yokozuna" for different weight classes would be absolutely ridiculous.
