19 seconds into the fight Takayasu was out of the ring. He's know to just stop fighting when it's obvious he won't win. Hoshoryu had a hold on Takayasu's arm. At that moment, Hoshoryu had a choice: hold on to Takayasu's arm and keep him safely on the raised platform, or shove him down, possibly injuring him. Hoshoryu chose to shove him down, and glare.
That's a great pro wrestling move, but I'm a little surprised to see a yokozuna do it.
Hoshoryu has a strong "Get out of my dohyo" vibe. Actually Ryuden has a similar vibe, but Hosh makes it look cool.
