Full in the streets of Castellón to witness a dull bullfight by Juan Pedro Domecq against which the highlight came from the hand of

Tomás Rufo, who cut off three ears

, compared to the two (one and one) of little weight from Roca Rey and a Manzanares without options.

Tomás Rufo came out to defend what, in the last two seasons, has been his fiefdom.

The third had caste and the bullfighter stood up to him with a mixture of dedication and bullfighting that dazzled the crowd.

There was claw in the reception of the cape and the removal through tight chicuelinas, and he continued in the same suit at the beginning on his knees in the muleta maneuver, with long and curved right hands.

Once the bull handed over the spoon, the man from Toledo leaned in

until he managed to move both ears

after a good rubric with the sword.

Rufo finished off his triumphant afternoon with another delivery task

to a tame encastado.

With his shoes stuck in the sand, he pulled on Juan Pedro Domecq's, linking the crutches with adjustment although uneven cleanliness, prioritizing emotion over perfection.

A prick before a good thrust was the prelude to the ear walk that crowned him as the clear winner of the celebration, not only numerically, but also artistically.

Roca Rey found the way around the second

, both with a cape and with a muleta, a bull with uneven and unintelligible attacks that collapsed when the Peruvian demanded of him in the last third with long, low-handed muletazos.

Roca insisted on playing the game, and he succeeded, even if it was ultimately with boasts, circulars and a detached thrust.

The fifth lacked drive and even presence

.

Faced with such a situation, Roca Rey pulled out all the stops to rip off his ear with a minor maneuver, finished off with a low, piercing thrust.

All this did not prevent the box, after request, from granting him an inconsequential ear but which opened the big door for him.

The Manzanares lot

lacked the strength necessary to build tasks with content, leaving the Alicante project practically unpublished except for a toned reception to Veronica in the fourth.

Castelló bullring.

Full on the lines.
