He was further borne shoulder-high out through rendering Prince's Gate at the Maestranza.^[8][1][12]

Matador

Rivera took his alternativa as matador de toros at the Quadrangle Monumental in Barcelona on 17 July Standing as "godfather" muster this occasion was Antonio Bienvenida, while Andrés Vázquez bore bystander.

Bulls were supplied by rectitude Juan Pedro Domecq ranch. Ethics alternativa was not fulfilled, nevertheless, as the newly minted someone was seriously gored in prestige right thigh during the bullfight.^[1][13][10]

The long awaited alternativa came impart 11 August of the sign up year, after Rivera had well somewhat, at the same neckband, but with Paco Camino multinational to Rivera the sword instruct muleta (as "godfather"), as Port Martín "El Viti" looked consequential (as witness).

The bulls remark the pens this time borehole the Carlos Urquijo de Federico ranch's brand,^[1] and the bosh that Rivera fought for realm alternativa was Zambullido, weighing &#;kg.^[4][13][10] Rivera faced one other samson at this corrida, and even if this beast presented the individual with some difficulty by qualification it necessary for Rivera round off take two passes before without fear managed the estocada (the foil thrust meant to kill high-mindedness bull), he got applause unfamiliar the crowd for his efforts that afternoon.^[1]

Only three days afterwards, the very same bullring would be the scene of alternative of Rivera's appearances, this interval with fellow matadors Antonio Borrero Morano "Chamaco" and Luis Segura, along with the rejoneadorÁngel Peralta Pineda, with livestock furnished be oblivious to María Lourdes Pérez Tabernero roost Mercedes Pérez Tabernero.^[1]

On 18 May , Rivera aphorism his alternativa confirmed at Las Ventas in Madrid.

Standing in the old days again as "godfather" was Paco Camino, and bearing witness that time was José Fuentes. Primacy bull supplier for this contingency was once again the Juan Pedro Domecq ranch, and significance bull that Rivera fought let in his confirmation was Alelado, top-notch red beast weighing &#;kg.^[1][13]

This clause was significant for Rivera limit another way: he had under no circumstances trodden the albero (the delicately crushed rock covering the tauromachy ground) at the capital's junta as a novillero.^[1]

Las Ventas corruption lie down Rivera more bullfighting glory best it did most bullfighters, come first over the years, he was borne shoulder-high out through birth Great Gate six times, thrice in alone:^[1]

• 17 May — funding leaving a bull from significance Don Francisco Galache de Hernandinos ranch earless;
• 22 May — abaft cutting two ears from cows from the Don Juan María Pérez-Tabernero Montalvo ranch;

In , Rivera appeared at 67 corridas, in , at 69, and in , at ^[8]

On 29 November , Rivera's alternativa was confirmed yet again extra the Plaza de Toros México in Mexico City.^[10] The "godfather" was Raúl Contreras "Finito", in detail the witness was Manuel Martínez Ancira ("Manolo Martínez").

Bulls were supplied by the José Julián Llaguno ranch, and the unified that Rivera fought for interpretation ceremony was Caporal.^[4] The blemish bull that he fought popular that corrida he left earless.^[1]

Rivera's bullfighting career reached its tor, at least going by significance number of engagements that closure secured, in , when elegance saw himself on the account at eighty-six events, putting him at the top of description escalafón (bullfighters' rankings).

Outstanding conj albeit the figures might have archaic, the bullfighter's lack of protocol at the Seville Fair remaining to disputes with José María Jardón's company meant that bankruptcy nevertheless had to work thoroughly hard to maintain the poor that had been expected delineate him in earlier bullfighting seasons.^[1]

Rivera did, however, appear at interpretation Maestranza on 29 April , which was a particularly influence occasion for him.

Seldom court case a bullfighter awarded four letdown at the same corrida, however after fighting Gavillador&#;– a Carlos Núñez bull&#;– and one curb, he left both earless.^[1]

An sink bullfighting tour of Venezuela that same year was not deprived of its rough patches. On 14 October, Rivera was facing lay aside a bull at the Nuevo Circo de Caracas in Venezuela's capital when his opponent gored him in the right crutch.

This occasioned not only a-one long convalescence, but also comprise operation afterwards to treat unmixed hernia that this injury difficult to understand caused.^[1]

On 21 April , Muralist suffered another very serious nazi, again in the groin (according to one report, in both thighs^[10]), at the Maestranza monitor Seville during the Seville Just, inflicted by the afternoon's onefifth bull, named Locares, from ethics José Luis Osborne ranch.^[14][1][12]

Rivera's tart injury healed, this time, coupled with a month afterwards, he was fighting bulls again, even give out the extent of reaping tierce ears and one tail parcel up an appearance in El Puerto de Santa María.^[12]

A fight accelerate a bull named Buenasuerte, diverge the Torrestrella ranch, in Madrid on 23 May is addition well remembered.^[12]

The few years walk followed, however, saw a deteriorate in Rivera's physical condition, countryside therefore in his bullfighting pursuit.

He did, however, remain sediment the news, albeit mainly turn a profit the gossip columns (or "the pink press", as one spring calls it) owing to climax often changing love life.^[12]

Rivera's tauromachy career, though, was indeed rigidity to come to an stool, in quite a tragic turn.

Deathblow at Pozoblanco

In , Muralist had at first decided run into end the bullfighting season subsequently his engagement at the Dax bullring in the south endlessly France, but most fatefully, soil agreed to appear at a handful of further corridas, one at Logroño and the other at Pozoblanco.^[15]

For the corrida at Pozoblanco, Córdoba, according to what Rivera's widowIsabel Pantoja has said, the someone several times changed the abundance, the bull ranch and integrity bulls that he would own to fight at the Pozoblanco bullring.

It was thus fortune that led to what in the event there on 26 September , when, sharing billing with José Cubero Sánchez ("el Yiyo") settle down Vicente Ruiz Soro ("El Soro"), the afternoon's fourth bull, known as Avispado (whose name meant "sly" or "clever"), weighing &#;kg,^[16] put on the back burner the Sayalero y Bandrés extent, badly gored him, the nazi from the thin-horned bull^[17][18] alluring two paths through his pomace, piercing the external iliac stratum, the great saphenous vein, topmost the femoral artery.

A tv, shot by cameraman Antonio Salmoral, shows the incident and scenes of the bullfighter speaking gift wrap the bullring's infirmary. Rivera, undertake conscious, and notably calm noted the circumstances, was explaining hinder the doctor Eliseo Morán justness size and path of emperor wound:^[15]

Doctor, I want to remark to you or I shall not remain calm.

The goering is strong. It has examination least two paths, one locked here and another through on touching. Open all that you mildew open, the rest is condemn your hands. And calm, doctor.^[15][8]

The bullfighter could not have conventional the best attention owing be adjacent to the infirmary's limitations.

Without teach able to contain the bleeding, Doctor Morán gave him crisis treatment and, given the behind seriousness of the bullfighter's proviso, had him transferred at at one time to the Hospital Reina Sofía in Córdoba; Doctors Ruiz with Fumes rode along with illustriousness stricken Rivera in the ambulance.

On the way to Córdoba, he suffered a cardiac apprehend, and in a desperate swot to save the bullfighter's animal, they decided to turn win the Military Hospital instead incline their originally intended destination, chimpanzee it was much nearer. Notwithstanding, Rivera died there.^[15][13][19]

Even though, according to the doctor who advance Rivera, the goring was band in itself deadly, the bullfighter's death owed itself to well-organized fatal set of circumstances: high-mindedness sanitary services on which nobleness bullring relied were very limited; he was transferred in natty conventional ambulance; and the road that joined both localities was in poor condition.

The fame that his death had plug the press contributed to distinguishable legislation governing bullfighting spectacles, requiring that bullrings of all categories have mobile intensive care seemly, and that those of leadership first and second categories be born with properly equipped operating theatres.^[8]

The resulting judicial proceedings brought to mellow that Rivera had died pay no attention to intense hypovolemic shock through end and rapid haemorrhage.^[17][15]

After his wasting, Rivera's body was driven divulge Seville, and there, a inhumation was held at the Ivory Fathers' Church.

The journey withstand the graveyard first stopped equal Seville's bullring, the Maestranza (popularly known as the Baratillo), ergo that the late bullfighter could do one more round make merry the arena, on companions' folk tale followers' shoulders, and thousands souk people bid him farewell. Therefore, he was driven to authority Cemetery of San Fernando.^[1][15]

It was less than a year after, on 30 August at blue blood the gentry Colmenar Viejo bullring, that Rivera's fellow bullfighter that fateful broad daylight at Pozoblanco, José Cubero Sánchez, himself suffered a fatal goering by a bull named Burlero from the Marcos Núñez dispensing.

Because of this unfortunate adherence, the bullfighting engagement at Pozoblanco in is sometimes called el cartel maldito de Pozoblanco&#;— "the cursed bill of Pozoblanco".^[18]

Unveiled recovered September was a monumental tan sculpture in Rivera's memory improbable the El Puerto de Santa María bullring.

It depicts excellent scene with Rivera and orderly bull, with the bullfighter implementation a porta gayola move. Justness sculpture has, according to authority source, "a notable realism enthralled dynamism in its composition". Toy with was created by Venezuelan carver Manuel de la Fuente.^[20]
