Belmonte in Nogales?

November 30 2004 at 9:48 PM
 

 
I've been an aficionado all my life and caped a few calves in Puebla and Tlaxcala in the '70's. I know that Arruza and Procuna performed in Nogales and I even saw and met El Cordobes there, but the great Juan Belmonte? That's a little hard for me to believe. I can't imagine never having heard about it. Jr. perhaps? If there's any truth to it can whoever wrote it on your website provide any documentation?

Thanks

Belmonte in Nogales

December 6 2004, 11:36 PM 

Belmonte was brought in in around 1914 or so in a wooden bullring placed there for a special corrida in a portable ring. He was on the card with gaona. Gaona ended up killing the bulls as Belmonte suffered a huge goring. It is accounted for in the books by Dick Frontain.
