I went to the Real Maestranza in Seville to see Antonio Nazare, Miguel Delgado and Esau Fernandez take on six Las Ramblas bulls. These were large bulls from 525 kg to 590 kg (1155-1298 lbs.) Real Maestranza is a 1st class ring so it only features tough, big bulls. All three fighters were from Sevilla. This was an out of season fight which was a fundraiser for the Cruz Roja. Miguel Delgado earned one ear. The memorable part of the night was a 4/6 of horses got taken down by the bulls. Miguel Delago got trampled by a bull and this might have contributed to him getting an ear out of compassion. The killing was clean except Esau Fernandez had to descaballo both of his bulls and his second took two escopardas. The veronica work was unimpressive for all six bulls. The muleta work got the band playing twice (Miguel Delgado and Esau Fernandez’s second bulls.) It rained hard in morning and I wondered if the fight would get cancelled. However, by 1700 it was a beautiful day at the plaza.
