Bullfights coming to Agri-plex

Dates for fights, concert announced

Ada — Chickasaw Nation announces the World Championship Rodeo Bullfight Finals and Concert Oct. 17-18 at the Pontotoc County Agri-plex in Ada. Concerts begin at 7 p.m. and bullfights at 8 p.m.

The nation’s top 15 bullfighters and current world champion Andy Burelle and past champion Wacey Munsel will be competing for a purse of $16,000 plus a $5,000 bonus for the bonus for the winner and a Gist Gold World Champion Buckle valued at $4,500.

The bullfighters had better be ready because Rex Dunn family is bringing two truck loads of fighting bulls that are the worst in captivity, according to sponsors.

Beginning at 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 17, the Anchormen Gospel Quartet takes the stage to entertain with their songs of all types of music including Southern Gospel.

In concert Saturday night, Oct. 18, David Ball will begin performing at 7:30 p.m. featuring his longtime list of number one hits.

Back by popular demand, Keith Isley will be here to amuse spectators of all ages.

The “Voice” of the World Championship Bullfight Finals and Hall of Fame Rodeo Announcer Hadley Barrett, with his distinctive and smooth voice will call the action.

Hadley will be inducted into the National Cowboy Hall of Fame in Oklahoma City Oct. 26.

Keith Isley tells me that this is one of the best events he works all year . Says the folks really come out and support the event and the bulls and fighters make for some good watching !!! Wish I was out that way to see the action !!!!

[Doug Munsell]

It truely is a great event. Better than any bullriding or rodeo I have ever been to and that is a bunch of em. Great bulls, bullfighters,fans, personnel, and well run. If your in the area don't miss it, well worth the money and the time to see a great event.

Will this event be televised?
Sounds top notch- I would love to catch it even though I cannot make the trip.

[Doug Munsell]

Not televised, I have tried numerous times to hook RFD TV up with them but I have not succeeded.

Yall get ya tickets ! Hey doug , keith told me last year a guy done a backflip over a bull . Who was it ?

[Bert Davis]

Either Andy or Dusty, maybe Toby... just a guess.

[NWR]

It was either Andy burrell or Dusty Tuckness. Andy did one at the bull fights in Lubbock TX this past year. Totaly amazing!! Wish I could make the trip this weekend but have other things going on, Would love to see a video of the event when it is over!!

[JustinCrawford]

i believe it was both of them, but Dusty's is usually prettier. im waiting to hear how toninghts round was

[NWR]

Any results?

[JustinCrawford]

Ross hill win it is all i know

[Doug Munsell]

Extremly tough bull fight. Several bullfighters injured, to where they could not compete both nights,(Dusty Tuckness, Kyle McGee) first night. Rex brought 3 year olds that had not been to town on Friday and older campaigners on Saturday. More Bullfighters took shots on Saturday, Wacey Munsell in a refight in Saturday's preliminary round and Andy Burelle a little dingy in the short round. Evan Allard of Tulsa fought extremly well being over 90 points in both preliminary rounds. Short round consisted of: Ross Hill, Andy Burelle, Casey Cragen, Evan Allard, and Wacey Munsell.

Ross Hill was crowned the champion and less than 3.5 points seperated 1st through 4th. I believe this is the proper placings, the only two I am not sure of are Evan and Casey the rest are correct. IF they are wrong I appologize to them as they all did a great job.
Ross 1st
Evan 2nd
Casey 3rd
Wacey 4th
Andy 5th

congrats to dusty.

doug who won the world there in 06 and 07? there is a kid named matt who fights billy bobs some and down there telling every one he won in 06 and 07, which i know he didnt because this past spring and this last fall were the first times ive missed ada. if you remember could ya please tell me, im pretty sure it was wacey in 06 but not for certain. heck i dont even think this matt kid has won any of the events besides maybe his round a few times

[Doug Munsell]

Wacey won in 06 and Andy Burelle in 07. What are you congradulating Dusty for? He took a hooking in the groin area, and had some problems with a leg on Friday and wasn't able to compete the next day. Kyle McGee took a pretty good spill on Friday also breaking a nose and swelling his eyes closed. Wacey got it in the groin in a refight with some problems there, and Andy attempted a back flip in the short that turned out not so good. Check your pm on the other.

[JustinCrawford]

for his win, but deff not congrats on the hookings, sounded like fri night was pretty exciting for the fans, but not so much so for some of the bullfighters.

[NWR]

Doug, Was any any or all of the event taped? I would love to see it from start to finish.

[Leftlane]

I'd pay money for that too!
Do you take checks Doug??

Congrats to Ross Hill!!!!!!!!!!!! The Alabama boy is making it happen, bringing the championship home. What a great guy too.
