Columbus Day Bullfight in Las Ventas: Handsome, smart, poised, demanding… victorious! | Culture

Victorino Martín’s bullfight fought this afternoon in Las Ventas as the closing of the season was very interesting. Six bulls with beautiful builds, very well presented, fine, handsome, with acceptable play on rods – especially brave second and third – and, in general, fit, noble and demanding in the final third. The third stood out above all, who humiliated Perera’s reception veronicas, he went to the horse with joy and pushed in both entrances, he came with alacrity in banderillas, and charged with length, fixity, rhythm and supreme class in the muleta .

The second was another good bull for the bullfighter in the last third, especially because of the left piton; The fourth one was embedded and the one that closed the square was sweet by both pitons. All of them smart, greedy and demanding, willing to not forgive a single mistake, exciting, combative, rough at times, tough at others, but powerful and vibrant. A bullfight overflowing with nuances that forced the two bullfighters to have their five senses alert so as not to fall into the clutches of the fierce bull. Even so, both Perera and De Justo bit the dust although, happily, they emerged victorious from the somersaults; The first, at the exit of a batch with his left hand, jumped into the air, his second, and the other lost his footing when he received his first with a cape and the bull forgave him for goring him, and he was on the verge of being injured in the task. crutch to the fourth, spectacularly turned into a right hand.

The bullfighters of the poster walked one ear each. Certainly, they attended the event with high spirits, ready to gallantly face the serious commitment of Victorino’s bullfight. Both demonstrated proven mastery with a cape and crutch, while at the same time they were unable to time their tasks: Perera heard three warnings, and Emilio de Justo heard five, who competed in heaviness, and failed to kill.

Perera was lucky to have the most complete bull of the bullfight, Escusano, fought in third place, for which he was asked to return to the ring. He received it with graceful veronica, and stood out extremely naturally in three rounds of long, very temperate muletazos, and swollen with beauty, corroborated with great passes of the chest. But Perera doesn’t know how to finish the tasks, or he doesn’t want to, so he listened to the first warning before mounting the sword and only fifteen seconds separated him from third place due to his stubbornness in not making a brave bull that refused to bend its hands crazy. His first, with dull behavior and little zeal, allowed him to work loosely with muletazos, without ties and little control, and the fifth, the dullest of the afternoon, offered him no options.

Emilio de Justo – a bullfighter all afternoon with the cape – closed the main door because he entertained himself by punching the fourth one up to five times, the one with the spectacular somersault, and whom he bullfighted very well, with pleasure and depth, especially with his hand. left handed Another category work drew his first, the bullfighter very involved in the task, in three rounds of long and sharp right blows. That bull, which Juan José Domínguez flagged very well, was also punctured. And the big triumph that was seen in the sixth, another bull of supreme quality, of eternal fixity and extraordinary rhythm in his attacks, and which he masterfully muttered with both hands in a task full of emotion, was also broken in the final fate and two warnings that sounded like well-deserved punishment.

Great bullfight to end the season, and two bullfighters in season who had plenty of time and lacked aim. Nobody is perfect.
