In one of the most anticipated sporting events of the year, Sonora-born singer Beto Vega was in charge of interpreting the Mexican National Anthem during the Saúl “Canelo” Álvarez vs. John Ryder fight, and he did it like the greats and without a single mistake.
From the Akron stadium in Guadalajara, some 40 thousand people gathered on Saturday night to see the fighters return from Guadalajara to Mexican soil after 10 years without boxing in our country. However, one of the greatest expectations around this event was who would interpret the national anthem, and it was the singer Beto Vega.
Dressed in a shiny red jacket, with a black shirt and a denim shirt that he placed at chest height, the interpreter started the Mexican national anthem in front of thousands of spectators, and it seemed that the public liked it because, at the end of his participation, he clapped.
“Viva Mexico, Cabrones!” were the words of the regional Mexican singer at the end of his performance. But the atmosphere did not end there. On the contrary, the mood of the attendees increased because the culmination of the interpretation meant that Canelo was about to appear in the stadium.
Moments later, and with the stadium filled with an army of mariachis, Canelo made his triumphal entrance while they played and sang the famous Vicente Fernandez song”Guadalajara.”
