Juan Manuel Marquez was 30 years old and a year into his first title reign – at featherweight – by the time Mike Alvarado turned pro in 2004.
Some ten years later, both fighters are at a similar point in their career – in need of a win – yet it’s the aged veteran who carries the greater upside while Alvarado fights for his boxing life when the two collide this weekend at The Forum in Inglewood, California.
The bout takes weight at a maximum catchweight of 144 lb., and airs live on HBO’s World Championship Boxing series (Saturday 10:15PM ET/7:15PM PT and local time). Both fighters easily made weight for the contest: Marquez – a former champ at 126, 130, 135 and 140 – hit the scales at a ripped and ready 141.6 lb., while Alvarado came in at 143.2 lb., looking more replenished and defined than has been the case in past fights where he was forced to shrink down to the 140 lb. limit.
