The sixth steer that closed this week's bullfight in San Isidro hit his horn in the nose of Lalo de María. "My whole face hurt, it was like a Mike Tyson punch.
I have fractured the nasal septum, the python reached the bone that separates the nose with the brain," he says. "Thanks to your support my name rings out but I am not a spoiled child or a privileged one. The strategy has been to tanning without horses in France and try to make an impact in Spain," he adds.
