shorty: for me, nobody ever taught me what to look at, but as a defensive player in basketball or in football, what i'm looking for is the rider's tip. that tells me like a defensive player learns where he is going to go. i've never asked these guys, what do you look at during the right? >> i don't get too caught up in the rider or the bull, i take a look at the whole picture. shorty: frank? >> that is right. just go with it. shorty: one of the toughest things is to watch them, they can have a tendency to lose focus. craig: rfd-hd takes care of jordan hupp in a little more than four seconds. he rode this bull in 2011. right here, the bull had his number. on paper, jw, this is one of these bulls that looked better suited. j.w.: a little bit uphill for jordan. i want to go straight to the new power, this is one of the bulls in the running for bucking bull of the year. he will tell you anything about how to rank these bulls? craig: explained that. bucking off 20 straight. justin: you don't want one that will buck any better than that. that's maybe a new guy to look on the radar. he is doing everything he needs to do, watch when he leaves the chute. he is ticking, already turning. has the speed, density, everything a guy is looking for. craig: 21 straight buck-off including five former pb are world champions. and our lead dog continues to be luke snyder. grew up 30 miles away from kansas city looking to give everybody here the most cheer about. >> still to come, two young guns of the pbr, ty pozzobon takes on mississppi hippy. and then, marco eguchi climbs aboard della checketts junior as the pbr rides on from kansas city. alribut if you wanna get up from close and personal,ain. vegas is where you wanna be. cuz that's where you'll find the pbr built ford tough world finals. enter at "clash of the cowboys" dot com, and you could find yourself nose to nose with the biggest bulls...and names...in the arena. vip access puts ya front and center for the most dangerous eight seconds in sports. and one winner will wrangle their own beast: a new ford f150 with ecoboost. so cowboy up pal. shorty: today's pick up the pen is mississppi hippy. this bull weighs in at a whopping 2300 pounds. you can see how high he is back in there. he doesn't have to do very much to be a strong bull. it is true, they're smart, not that we don't know what we're talking about, but mississppi hippy looks like a 1900 pounds bull. an excellent bull, the pick of the pen. mississppi hippy. craig: jw, i told ty pozzobon this bull is 1.5 asteroid. he says thanks, that really psyched me out. j.w.: i talked to them earlier this morning. we weighed in this week, he weighed 2285. he is well over 2300 on a normal day. craig: it is almost as if ty pozzobon cannot even fit into the chute. see how much girth and how much the size mississppi hippy has. j.w.: there is a good look at it right there. shorty: a large farm animal here, guys. craig: he is almost taller than the top of the gate. 11 straight buck offs for this bull. ty pozzobon at the moment ranked fourth in the world has been on a hot streak. after the gate opened, it's just became a matter of survival. and credit ty pozzobon for getting out of their relatively unscathed. j.w.: this is a bull that is vague. he has so much power, we have that much weight to throw around, you get really heavy on the end of the guys arm. craig: a recent acquisition that they are very excited about. with ty pozzobon bucking off, we transitioned one of the better brazilians on tour, marco eguchi sitting third in the world matched up against yellow jacket junior. he said oh, boy, this will be powerful. justin: and he is exactly right. he likes to get it right. craig: only ridden once out of the last nine. this bull may have lost a step, but still a formidable foe. shorty: sorry, cannot see anything happening, i'm checking out bushwacker. i wanted to come back and take a look at this bull. you see how calm he is, just waiting his turn, leaving all of his energy for when the gate opens. craig: like mohammed ali, the greatest of all time read he will get his chance in a little bit. marco eguchi finally succumbs to the left-handed spin aside from luke snyder score of 91.5, that is the longest we have seen a rider sit on the back of a bull in this "15/15 bucking battle." j.w.: he likes to get a guy loosened up before he commits to a spin. the thing that always impresses me is these days loose and keeps trying to get the front end and that is why he lasted as long as he did. craig: keep in mind last weekend luke snyder faced bushwacker in st. louis. after being on the back of bushwacker, everything else is a walk in the park. he is our leader here in kansas city. >> coming up on the pbr "15/15 bucking battle," two cowboys fighting for the world number one ranking. back-to-back champions silvano alves takes on the toughness of smackdown. and then it is shane proctor aboard who dat here in kansas city on cbs. (off camera:) hey y'all! (kevin:) run! go! run! where'd they go? i was just gonna ask'em what they're bittin' on. announcer: go where the pros go for great deals on great gear and 3 easy ways to shop. bass pro shops. your adventure starts here. are you sure this is okay? don't worry. i know a guy! craig: everybody talks about bushwacker and asteroid, but a bull nipping at their heels, smackdown. see what he has been able to do in terms of ride, little more favorable if you're on his back. smackdown will never make it easy. j.w.: he can almost bet the guys that made the whistle on him have been left-handed. i don't know about you, justin, but i'm lookingg for the bull to win. justin: i could never go against the back-to-back two-time world champion in the pbr. that is what i think has made him the first ever back-to-back champion, his ability to ride bulls. craig: shorty, you are staying out of this one, aren't you? shorty: i want to talk about something jw talk about last week, the bulls throwing their shoulder. it will be away from his hand, the back is built like this, like the roof on the house. when he rolls the outside shoulder to the house side, i think he knows that, he'll probably try to stay in there. i don't like betting against anyone of these guys, but i will go with silvano alves on this one. craig: a sellout crowd in the sprint center, 12.5000 in attendance and the roof could get blown out. the first time ever two-time defending pbr world champion, the ride percentage astronomical. closing in on $3.5 billion in earnings. >> i don't know, craig, but that shorty isn't very good. craig: talk about this for the second, have to give silvano alves credit, the bull did what he wanted to do. silvano alves able to extend the ride a little bit longer. j.w.: exactly. the bull hesitates, he moves it, makes the right adjustment. give him a little stutter step. he just got out to get the arm strength. i don't know, i can't remember. craig: trying to retake the number one position from shane proctor who will ride after his brother-in-law right here. this is j.b. mooney on ringo. does not have a ton of ride this, but he seems to get better. j.w.: he broke open really good. craig: it lasted six seconds. if that bull stays going left, would he have ridden him? j.w.: i think so. we get into these "15/15 bucking battle," they're very smart. they're going to change things up, that is exactly what that bull did. craig: ringo didn't need the rest of the beatles to help him out. for j.b., it is more about the landing than the ride with the possible broken left fibula that's refuses to get x-rayed. he will be back in kansas city going to his brother-in-law, shane proctor, the number one rider in the world. the only two-time winner this season. he won in winston-salem and in anaheim. this is a rematch. j.w.: going to have a little forward motion. he is going to move out of their good, way from his hands. shane proctor using that free arm. craig: you heard shorty saying he was getting a little behind. he did exactly what you wanted him to do, keep the free arm down. j.w.: you watch when he leaves, we all bow down the way he has been doing good, just a little bit behind. it gets the arm strength putting all the pressure on him to the outside and he couldn't adjust back. craig: a hat trick for who dat. the third time it has bucked off shane proctor. the lead dog is luke snyder right now, but it could be mike lee with bushwacker in kansas city. torque to go with it... 'cuz unless you'r usin' your truck to deliver pizza's ... you ain't gettin' anything done without it. torque is power. it pulls trailers. hauls dirt. drags boulders. torque is what gets the cap off your beer. and only the ford f-150 with ecoboost has the best combination of torque and fuel economy. think about that. introducing the new 2013 f-150. all your important legal matters in just minutes. protect your family... and launch your dreams. at legalzoom.com we put the law on your side. and launch your dreams. craig: later tonight on cbs sports network at 8:00 p.m., we will wrap up our kansas city weekend. and next weekend, it is iran cowboy for. douglas duncan will train rowdy to ride. possibly $5000 going to charity. we will kick off our own version of march madness on cbs. the monster energy money bull matchup is on the line, mike lee with bushwacker. it seems, shorty, at the moment nobody can stop bushwacker. shorty: this is one of the best bulls listing may be in our entire lifetime. the left-handed guy, he likes to go to the left, but sometimes when this bull feels he has to go to the right, that'll be the best, if you can get it done. getting stronger going to be left. look for spectacular stuff, but i expect bushwacker to win. j.w.: what i think could happen here. bushwacker has the ultimate ability to get control of the upper body and the free arm. when he does, he will kick out of there really high. lean back and control the free arm and if he does go left like he can and doesn't go right, i don't have a helmet on the back but he can make his helmet go on sideways. justin: i agree with everything you just said, but the key for mike lee is he gets really high. mike lee has been doing it for a long time, we did not have to kick too early, stay along with him as long as he is doing it. if mike lee can stay down, i give him a shot here. j.w.: it is hard to hold a post position that long. it might be different if a bull weighs 1300. but 1750 pounds like this does, it gets very difficult. justin: and this bull takes long jumps. j.w.: long forward movement. we don't know what way you are going. craig: j.w.: just got bushwhacked. that lasted a little over three seconds. he mentioned the helmet, he delivered on your promise. he gave him a nice little pop to the head, something to remember him by. j.w.: you can't foresee the future, but you know the capabilities are there. craig: look at this bulls gore, 48 points. 50 is perfection. j.w.: we have seen this back-to-back. we saw a 47, 48, 49 last week with a trip he had. outstanding and he is on a mission to win another world title. craig: 2011 world champion looking bull. he lost a close match to asteroid last year. mike lee absolutely blown away here in kansas city. the missouri man, the favorite, luke snyder is the winner of the "15/15 bucking battle" here in kansas city. the kawasaki moment of the day is luke snyder aboard king lopez. lopez went into his hands in the right, luke snyder was more than along for the ride. able to maintain that position. and the big check going to the man who grew up 30 miles from here. take a look at the world standings after the "15/15 bucking battle." shane proctor still predicting that top lead over silvano alves. and then ty pozzobon well-placed in third. thank you for watching the 15/15 from kansas city. we will crown our events champion here in kansas city. up next, great college basketball action coming your way. i am craig hummer. for more, go to cbssports.com. this has been a presentation of cbs sports in association with professional bull riders association. ♪ ♪
