Morante de la Puebla impresses in Pamplona bullfight during San Fermín

During the sixth corrida of the San Fermín fair in Pamplona, Morante de la Puebla displayed calm, technical mastery and a series of high‑quality muletazos, earning praise despite the short duration of the bulls and receiving no formal award. His use of the muleta and precise passes were highlighted as a “fresh breath” amid the festival’s heat and accompanying political protests.

In the same afternoon, fellow matador Borja Jiménez struggled, failing to dominate his first bull, and later losing his sword chances on the fifth and sixth animals. While he showed speed, his performances were described as limited and he did not secure the usual trophies. Pablo Aguado, the third Sevillian on the card, delivered a solid showing with a notable set of natural blows but did not dominate the event.

The bout was noted for its contrast between Morante’s composed style and Jiménez’s limited success, set against the traditional atmosphere of the San Fermín festivities.
