The catchweight is definitely for Alvarado. He looked extremely gaunt in his last fight. I doubt he fights at 140 ever again.
Alvarado is the one who rehydrates more, so the catchweight works to Marquez's advantage. Alvarado would actually benefit from the fight taking place at the full WW limit.

Alvarado could have stripped and made 143. Marquez let the .2 overage go. All good. We got a fight. #MarquezAlvarado #boxing
