The first round of the 2015 Professional Bull Riders Built Ford Tough Series World Finals kicked off earlier tonight inside of the Thomas & Mack Center of the campus of the University of Nevada-Las Vegas for the last time. The crowd was electric and ready for a night full of qualified rides as the American Bucking Bull Incorporated, ABBI, classic bulls took center stage. The action started off fast and fierce inside the two sided arena layout after an incredible opening courtesy of Jaime Lynch from the Vegas show Fantasy singing our National Anthem that started the fireworks that the cowboys of the PBR took to heart. These bull riders gave the loyal PBR fans inside the Thomas & Mack what they came to see, great rides and consistent scores across the board.

The classic bulls of the ABBI gave the contestants at this year’s event all that they could handle heading into round two tomorrow night that will bring the first of two appearances of the “eliminator pen” of bucking bulls. That will include the seven bucking bulls in contention for the title of World Champion Bucking Bull after the sixth and final round here in Las Vegas on Sunday afternoon. After all was said and done it was only 8 of top 40 bull riders in the world that would be able to last the eight seconds to obtain their first score of the World Finals!
