Triumphant Ponce
Untitled-1.GIF (41 bytes) Two ears and carried out on shoulders

Pamplona-Iruña, July 13, 1999

Last bull-fight of the Feria del Toro 99. FivePedro y Veronica Gutiérrez Lorenzo bulls and one Carmen Lorenzo bull. Lacking strength. César Rincón: silence and one ear. Enrique Ponce: silence and two ears and carried out on shoulders. Pepín Liria: one ear and polite handclapping.

Arguably the best bull-fight of  the San Fermin Bull Fair 99. Matadors managed to perform good faenas and recieved their rewards. Gutiérrez Lorenzo bulls, though they lacked strength, were  fit enough for the show.

Reappearance of the Colombian matador César Rincón, after one year without fighting. He showed that his is recovering his quality: he got one ear and was about to get a second one. Enrique Ponce didnt fight propperly with his first bull but he cut two ears to his second and was carried out of the bull-ring on the aficionados shoulders. José Tomás, who had announced his being unfit for the bull-fight, was substituted by matador Pepín Liria, who cut one ear to his first bull and was rewarde with a polite handclapping after his second faena.

There is not long to go for San Fermin 2000.
