Showing just how big of a star Canelo is, he received a visit from Mexico national team goalie Guillermo “Memo” Ochoa.

During a bout between Abner Mares and Jonathan Oquendo in the co-main event, Memo made his way to ringside and received a standing ovation from all of the Mexican fans in attendance.

For those who don’t remember, Ochoa was one of the standout performers at the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.

On social media, Ochoa showed off his excitement for the Canelo – Lara fight by sharing a photo of himself posing with Canelo backstage prior to the bout.

And here is Memo ringside:

Even Chicharito and Miguel Layun were in attendance.

We will have to wait and see if Ochoa brought some of that magic from Brazil to share with Canelo on Saturday night.
