FORT WORTH, Texas – At the 79th iteration of the PBR (Professional Bull Riders) Stockyards Showcase inside the iconic Cowtown Coliseum in Fort Worth, Texas, Ramon Fiorini de Souza (Serra Negra, Brazil) went a perfect 2-for-2 to win the event title.
The Brazilian got off to a hot start, winning the opening round by covering Moonshine (Mike Johnson) for 82.5 points.
After every other rider bucked off in the first round, Souza knew all he had to do was make the 8 aboard Cherokee Kid (Schott/Sutton Rodeo) and he converted, scoring 83.5 points to take home the event buckle.
The victory netted Souza a crucial 56 Velocity Global points.
In second place was Manoelito de Souza Junior (Itamira, Brazil).
The Brazilian was bucked off by Smoothie (Mike Johnson) in 2.57 seconds in the opening round but bounced back in Round 2, topping CMSR 910 (Stockyards Pro Rodeo) for an event-high 84.5 points.
The 1-for-2 performance earned the veteran 36 Velocity Global points.
Lucas Fideles Souza (Barnstable, Massachusetts), Davi Henrique de Lima (Candido Mota, Brazil) and Everton Natan da Silva (Viradouro, Brazil) all split the final spot on the podium.
Souza bucked off Leroy (Mike Johnson) in 2.67 seconds in Round 1 before riding Cowtown Special (Stockyards Pro Rodeo) for 84 points in Round 2.
He was matched by Lima, who was bested by Shredder (JD Nix Rodeo Co.) in 2.86 seconds in the opening round but made the 8 aboard Heatin Up (Schott/Sutton Rodeo) for 84 points of his own in the final round.
Silva tied his fellow Brazilians on Free Ride (Stockyards Pro Rodeo) for 84 points in Round 2 after he was flung off by Dollies Cat (JD Nix Rodeo Co.) in 2.62 seconds in Round 1.
All three riders left Cowtown Coliseum with 19.3 Velocity Global points.
Velocity Global points contribute to the Velocity Global Standings and determine which new riders are added to the elite Unleash The Beast throughout the season. The Top 3 Velocity Global riders who have not already qualified are also invited to the PBR World Finals in May.
In the bull pen, Set It Off (Schott/Sutton Rodeo), CMSR 129 (Stockyards Pro Rodeo) and Insurrection (Stockyards Pro Rodeo) were all marked 43 points to split the Bull of the Event title.
