1. Duration of the different parts of the fight and distribution of the fall by third

The average duration of the fight in our study rises to 17.65 minutes (Table 1), a fact that agrees with the values cited by ^{Paniagua (1997)} and ^{Sanes et al. (1994}) and differ in part from those of ^{Aceña (1993}) and ^{Sanz Egaña (1942)}; exceeding them in approximately 2 minutes.

The predominance of the last third has been accentuated in recent years, a result that agrees with the assessments made by ^{Sanes et al. (1994}), ^{Paniagua (1997)} and ^{García Schneider (2008)}, who point out that the duration of the third crutch is 38.37%, 48.08% and 50.85% of the total time of the fight. In our case we have observed for the most recent years, object of our study, an increase of this percentage up to 51.82%; the highest percentage recorded for this third compared to previous studies.

Although the duration of these periods of the fight will depend in a considerable way, first of all, on the category of the square; in first places, a third of the longest rods is counted, since it is essential that the animal comes at least twice to the horse, and the third of banderillas is usually more lucid and longer. Second, it will depend on the skill of the bullfighters, and finally on the origin of the bull; it is known that some encastes are usually characterized by the fixity and repetition of the thrusts in the cloak of the matador, being therefore propitious animals to make thirds of rods and short banderillas (^{Domecq, 2008}); while others are characterized by being very "fan", that is, distracted animals that in the beginning do not fix their attention on any stimulus; thus extending the duration of the preceding thirds to that of crutch, such is the case of Murube and Atanasio (^{Purroy, 2003}, ^{Rodríguez Montesinos, 2002}).

2. Behavior during the beginning of the fight

From the moment in which the bull goes out to the square and until it is placed in luck to go to the horse to bite, five behavior parameters were recorded: "Rapisal": speed of exit, "Parapu": the bull stops at the door, "Recorre": distance that runs in the square, "Acudlar": goes long to the cap and "Remata": rammed against the ring touching the boards with the pythons.

It was observed that since 2010, the speed of the exit of bullpens has increased (with values above 3.6), with respect to the previous values that point a decrease with the years of the bulls that stop at the door. The "cross the square" parameter is the one that has most clearly increased in recent years. Thus, for ^{Lomillos (2012}), which assesses the effect of training on the behavior in the fight from 2010, and appreciates an increase in physical effort and displacement in the ring made by the bulls subjected to training guidelines prior to the fight ; this is evidenced fundamentally in the initial journey of the animal on the ring. While it is true that each sexual reproduction has a particular type of output, which can influence the overall score, but in a large number of animals makes this variable disappear.

3. Behavior during the third of rods

To analyze the number of lance points that the bull receives, we have discarded the bulls fought in first category squares, where it is mandatory that the bull receives at least two rods; to do the statistical analysis with only second category places (Figure 2). For this type of place, ^{Gutiérrez (1996)} pointed out 1.83 lances on average; while ^{Bartolomé (2009}) already fell to 1.23, reaching the current 1.05 points of lance.

Therefore, it can be said that over the years, the most frequent is that this third is reduced to "monopoint of lance", applying most of the punishment in the first and only rod; with which we agree with ^{Barona et al. (1999)} and ^{Fernández and Villalón (1999}), when they affirm that the punishment is not measured.

Perhaps the great weight of the current horse, the hardness of the breastplate and the greater braveness and consequent thrust of the bull that is fought at present, make that a single point of the lance is enough to temper the onslaught of the same one; even sometimes the picador must regulate the punishment for the animal's lack of strength. The bull has no chance to show his bravery in a second match, because the right-handed asks for and automatically obtains the change of third on the part of the president. It seems that at the time of the 90^s, ^{Gutiérrez's study (1996)} reflects a third of rods composed of two entrances to the horse in most cases; on the contrary, at present, the luck of rods has become a procedure, except in some festivities, such as the bullfighting competitions of cattle ranches, an certain very specific bull rings of our geography and France.

Since the animal is placed in luck to go to the horse to sting, until the president terminates the third of rods; seven behavioral parameters were recorded, all of them scored on a scale of 0 to 5; taking into account the number of rods received by each beef and the speed with which he came to meet him with the chopping horse: "Humilla": degree of lower inclination of the head when charging, "Empuja": pushes with the muscles of the third after attacking the horse, "Cabeceo": moves the head violently from one side to the other, "Suelto": it comes loose from the encounter with the picador and "Crecedol": it grows in pain.

In the parameters recorded in the third of rods we do not see a marked trend or significant differences, except in the case of the parameter "suelto" that in the last three years has increased a lot (2.91), compared to previous years, symptom of meekness of the animal.

4. Behavior during the third of banderillas

During the course of the third of banderillas were scored, on a scale of 0 to 5, the following parameters of behavior: "Largoban": go long to the banderillero cite, "Fijoban": stare at the banderillero, "Sigueban": follow the banderillero after the pour into and "Seduele": it hurts after the placement of the banderillas.

During this, it is about letting the bull recover and "take a breath" after his encounters with the picador before his final fight (^{Plasencia, 2000}), since the bull is not an athletic animal and the fight involves an overexertion who is not used to it (^{Escalera-Valente et al., 2013}). This phase has a greater number of pauses, and when the banderillero is attacked without the need to humiliate, many bulls recover from the first third, since they apparently breathe better by not flexing their necks as much (^{Fernández and Villalón, 1999}).

During this third period, two parameters considered indicative of bravery were recorded (^{Gaudioso et al., 1985}): "fixedness in the banderillero" and "going long". These patterns showed lower values in the bulls analyzed in the thesis after ^{Gutiérrez (1996)}, indicating a loss of bravery in this third of gradual form with the step of the years; however, our values for the parameter "hurts" reflex of meekness, were lower than those of ^{Gutiérrez (1996)}.

5. Behavior during the third of muleta

During the course of the third crutch, the following behavioral parameters were scored on a scale of 0 to 5: "Largomul": goes long to the cite with the muleta, "Humilmul": humiliates when attacking the muleta, "Codicia" repeated several times without stopping, "Tardea" for motionless between passes and passes, "Embiste": go to the cite of the bullfighter in all the grounds of the ring, "Fijomul": fixed his eyes on the crutch at all times and "Huyemul" : run away from the crutch when you are called.

This is the third most important in the current fight, because it is where the prize awarded by the public to the acting bullfighter is decided (^{Darracq, 2000}).

Unlike the third of banderillas, in the crutch we appreciate higher values for the indicative patterns of bravery in the bulls valued in recent years: they rammed from farther away, with more "Fijezamul" in the muleta, and in turn boasting a greater nobility, represented by a greater frequency of the patterns "Humillamul" and "Embiste"; however, the parameter "Codicia" decreases, sign of the caste and increases "Tardea" reflection of meekness or lack of strength.

It is observed in broad strokes in the last ten years, that the animals have maintained, even moderately improved their level of bravery and nobility, and slightly increased certain symptoms of meekness; all within a context of a longer duration of this phase of the fight.

The predominant bull of our time is selected without taking into account its behavior in the horse and especially valuing its class in the Muleta, where the nobility and repetition of lunges weigh more in the selection than the rest of the parameters. In turn, it has been improved in the feeding and physical preparation of the bull for the fight, which allows it to face the third Muleta of the longest duration in history (^{Ruiz Villasuso, 2005}); it has even been recorded that in the last 25 years the animal has improved its resistance, decreasing the suffering of the fall syndrome (^{Lomillos et al., 2018}).

If we compare with objectivity, we must recognize that the bull of today, is an animal that has increased its size and average weight about 100 Kg (^{Bartolomé, 2009}), moves more and resists a much more demanding fight, attacking with a delivery and depth much greater than that of a few decades ago.
