Bullfights at Las Ventas in Madrid during San Isidro, live: the latest news from Emilio de Justo, Roca Rey, and Tomás Rufo today.

Bocinero jumps out, imposing at over six hundred kilos. He pushes firmly in the first encounter with the horse and comes out free from the second. Roca comes out determined to take off his turn with the cape slung over his back, and there's no reply from Emilio de Justo, who doubles powerfully at the beginning of the faena with the muleta.

Now on the right, he links a series with the bull committed, clean and rhythmic in his strokes, and a chesty one with personality. He keeps his hand and lowers the muleta, with Victoriano's responding, adding intensity to the series. His muletazos are long, more tempered and forceful with his natural, with a very long lead.

He insists on the natural with gusto and flavor, engaging and pulling with cadence. With the muleta unmounted on the right, a short series full of flavor

Fernando Sánchez wakes up with the banderillas and makes a great pair, which forces him to receive a strong ovation.

Rufo drops to his knees outside the third section. The bull charges vigorously and lands a perfectly paced right, igniting the fuse of the bullfight. He calls long on the right horn and links up a short series with the bull charging at a slower pace, apparently injured. He uses a natural pass without connection and with part of the bull facing away, some with excellent lines. He backs down, looks for the draw, and there the Toledo native insists, going all out.

Puncture, repeat. Warning. A third, a fourth, and a final blow.

The third, Bisonte, has two good perches, and is gentle, butting his head with the first thrust. And the same in the second encounter. He runs around without any steadiness.

There's no toast from Roca Rey, who goes to find Victoriano's bull and without hesitation plants his right hand. The bull charges with style, which he tries to tame in the first burst, bothered by the wind. Roca continues on that horn with his full attention, his hand low, and with dissenting voices criticizing his placement.

He tries with his left hand, but it doesn't quite work together. Bull and bullfighter don't gel. He doesn't improve with the sword either. A jab and a detached thrust.

Taxo, weighing 566 kilos and five years old, humbly takes Roca's cape. He pushes with Manuel Quinta's first thrust, but struggles to get going with the second, but complies. He takes his time with the tricks and struggles with the banderillas.

Emilio de Justo tries it on both sides at the start of the bullfight, and once outside the lines, he makes a run with his right in an initial series that is bothered by the wind. He seeks more sheltered terrain and focuses on a good series. Victoriano's is good, and the next one is more decisive, with a low hand.

He throws the muleta to the left and draws natural passes with a good rhythm. He returns to the right horn with good passes, but without finishing the series. With the muleta off the mount, he stumbles, aiming more than achieving.

Puncture, another one, warning, a third, half and a descabello. Gray final with swords.

Roca takes advantage of his turn and takes off with chicuelinas, and De Justo counters with the same stick. The competition in the ring is heated.

Encaminado, a five-year-old bullfighter, is now in the ring and vigorously takes Emilio de Justo's cape. He leads them to the horse, gallantly performing chicuelinas, and the bull takes a first stab with determination, as in the second encounter.

Las Ventas presents an appearance that bodes well for a great afternoon of bullfighting. Everything is in favor: the bulls from Victoriano del Río, accustomed to triumph, and in the ring, the current star, Peruvian Roca Rey, with two bullfighters who are not giving up their positions: Emilio de Justo and Tomás Rufo.

Serious faces, full of concentration, are the bullfighters' faces in the final minutes before the bullfight begins. In the bullring, the bullfighters are already wrapping their capes and waiting for the president's white handkerchief to order the procession.

Since morning, the area surrounding Las Ventas has been buzzing with excitement for this afternoon's bullfight. Crowds of fans, bars, and restaurants are packed, and now the entrance gates to the bullring are a real hive of activity. Especially at the gate of the bullfighting crews, where hundreds of fans await the arrival of the bullfighters' carriages and approach the matadors on their short walk to the entrance of the ring.

Today's bullfight, the thirteenth in the Isidril series, was one of the most sought-after since the lineup was released. Everyone wanted tickets for the first appearance of Roca Rey, the biggest box office star of the moment. That's why the "Sold Out" sign was posted on an afternoon rounded out by two bullfighters who speak volumes to the fans and have spoken volumes in this Madrid bullring. Emilio de Justo and Tomás Rufo don't want to be left out of the loop.

It is, without a doubt, the most sought-after bullfight for the bullfighting figures. Victoriano del Río's bulls have an impressive resume at Las Ventas, having led to almost twenty exits on shoulders. At this same fair, in the first bullfight, Talavante opened the Puerta Grande with a bull from this brand, and days later, Fernando Adrián ruined a great performance with a bull from Victoriano del Río with his sword.

Today's bullfight is made up of six bulls that are all five years old, which once drawn and corralled will be released in the following order:

First bull, Encaminado, black, weighing 565 kilos, for Emilio de Justo.

Second, Tax, black, weighing 566 kilos, for Roca Rey.

Third, Bison, black, weighing 563 kilos, for Tomás Rufo.

Fourth, Bocinero, black, weighing 614 kilos, for De Justo.

Fifth, Lover, black ribbon weighing 577 kilos, for Roca Rey.

Sixth, Alabardero, chestnut, weighing 575 kilos, for Tomás Rufo.

The hats belong to the owner's ranch.
