In the Montalvo bullfight, even except the third, there were very usable bulls. Of the six, El Fandi’s lot and the fifth were triumphant bulls. The second ended up very manageable, while the third broke patterns and became complicated. The one who closed the run was also lackluster. Where they all lowered their grade was in varas, a third in which they were tame.
A good bull the first of the afternoon. Although he was gentle on the rods, he took off on the muleta and was more than drinkable. Before, in banderillas, he went without reservation to a Fandi who played four pairs, although only the last one, on the violin, was the most gathered in execution and placement. The other three, unequal in everything. Bull early, happy in the charge, and humiliating for the muleta. El Fandi took advantage of such an exquisite delicacy in the most bustling way, not through good bullfighting. Detached, populist, inclined to a gallery that had an easy impact on the trend. Bull that left without being bullfighted.
In the fourth turn, El Fandi drew a bull with great play on the muleta. A montalvo chestnut coat, which was pure gold. The man from Granada rounded off a good third of banderillas with him, and on muleta he began with knees that arranged the people in his favor. The task was a disorganized accumulation of passes, almost all of them overlooked, irrelevant turnstiles and circulars from the right and the wrong to the consumer’s liking. That is, all very superficial. That bull deserved better treatment, but El Fandi achieved the complicity of the majority of the public, who believed he had discovered something never seen before. Rarely has an outing on shoulders like this been so cheap. The best thing about El Fandi, being aware of the bullfighting of his companions.
Somewhat jumpy and slowed down in the attack the second of the afternoon. Ureña did not fully understand it, despite the fact that in a series of low hands the bull was absorbed behind the muleta. Maybe it was what he asked for. The task was an unequal set in which the bull and the bullfighter did not fully agree.
The fifth man handed over rods, waited and cut into flags. It seemed bad. He, moreover, kept a secret for the crutch: class. Ureña bent powerfully with him to open the bullfight and little by little he found the reason for being an excellent bull. In the short distance, first on the right and then on the left, Ureña went from less to more. The final two series through the left piton were very warm, taking the bull very hard and finishing in a semicircle. Two great series, the best of the afternoon and the best of the Fair. But the sword choked on him and the prize that seemed safe went to limbo. Excellent bull from Montalvo.
They crossed the line by attacking the third and then accused him in the final third. He leaned his head high on the crutch: he blew his whistle in the air and sat still. Emilio de Justo tried by all means, but the bull, little by little, even got worse. The task was lost in vain attempts. The sixth didn’t make it easy for him either, lackluster throughout the fight, he didn’t let Emilio de Justo compose. Machacón the bullfighter, but without any achievement, everything was lost in a fruitless attempt.
