The right-hander has immediately taken over the ring yethe first bull It has served to show off. The second bull It has been worth it to get two ears although the animal showed less rhythm but the bullfighter anchored himself in the sand and using the crutch and put the bullring on its feet ordering the bull’s charge and giving muletazos with great skill. The third bull has been, so far, the most dangerous, causing a dangerous somersault that caught the right-hander squarely and shook him. However, his face did not change to a very dedicated José Tomás who returned to face the bull to finish a job that ended with another ear.
