context_page_description: Eloy Cavazos was one of Mexico's top matadors. He was also known as "The Little Giant" and "The Pride of Guadalupe".
context_section_description: Eloy Cavazos's Banderillero is his brother.
  Eloy Cavazos's Picador is his Mozo De Espadas (sword handler) son.
  Jaime, his son, is named after Eloy's mentor, the late Matador Jaime Bravo.
  He resides in Guadalupe, Nuevo León, a suburb of Monterrey, Nuevo Leon México.  Eloy Cavazos is respected as one of Mexico's top matadors, and has been such for decades.
  Unlike some matadors who are well known for their hard partying lifestyle, Eloy Cavazos is known and respected for his professionalism and a disciplined lifestyle that he has maintained throughout his career. This pattern was evident from his beginnings with his late mentor, the Matador Jaime Bravo, who would make sure that Eloy did not drink, went to bed early, and woke up early to train.
  Eloy Cavazos and Jaime Bravo were in a tragic 1970 automobile accident, near Zacatecas, México.  Eloy survived.  Jaime died, shortly thereafter.  Their driver died in the accident.  The accident occurred after a bullfight, in Zacatecas, where Jaime Bravo had just won that year's "Golden Sword" award.  The sword disappeared in the accident.  Eloy Cavazos's manager, Rafael Baez, had also been the late Matador Jaime Bravo's manager.
  The Mexican Matador Alejandro Amaya is regarded as Eloy Cavazos's protégé.
