Yeah, he was knocked out.  Then he injured the knee on the way down.  The
same thing happened to Kotomitsuki many years ago when he was knocked cold
at tachiai.  He fell backwards and injured his ankle too.  

This kind of incident may add injury to insult, but there's certainly no
reason to retire over it.

>From the live feed with no replay, it appeared to me that he simply passed
out at the tachiai.  If so, this is the second time in less than a year that
he has gone unconscious.  May be a good time to hang up the old mawashi.
