Gravisima Cornada In Pachuca

Juan Luis Silis received a major goring in Pachuca this week, but incredibly is expected to make a total recovery and even return to the bulls should he desire. At this moment he is in a medically induced coma so reparations may be made on his jaw and face following this nightmare of a goring.

The torero was gored in the neck, with the horn extending through the interior of his face and by the eye.

Doctors have announced no evident damage to the brain or the eye. Though blood loss was tremendous, the torero's life has been saved mainly due tot he brilliance of the medics.

Decades ago, a going of the magnitude of this one would have surely been fatal.

A promising novillero who has scored triumphs in the smaller rings and is now ripe for the bigger plazas, Navarro may be a face to watch out for in the future.

For those unable to see him live and in person, there are some good videos of Navarro in action on You Tube, showing he has considerable talent which could be developed into something outstanding in the future.


Manuel Fernandez Mazzantini

Meet Manuel Fernandez Mazzantini, a promising and capable novillero (con picadores) who may soon be taking the alternativa in his native Cordoba, Spain.

He has already shown great art in tradition of the forerunners from this area who came before him. He has especially shown skill with the muleta.

Mazzantini was born in Cordoba in 1988, but presently lives in Madrid for bullfight/business reasons.

He is yet another torero to keep an eye on.
