This Saturday night boxing legend Juan Manuel Marquez (53-6-1) will attempt to win his ninth world title in four different weight classes when he fights Sergey Fedchenko (30-1) for the vacant WBO Junior Welterweight championship. Get boxing odds for the bout at Bovada.

A victory in this fight will likely get the winner a fight with another big name like Manny Pacquiao, so more than just the WBO Junior Welterweight title will be on the line for these two very different boxers.
Coming off another close controversial loss to Pacquiao, Marquez has made the move to Junior Welterweight to add another title to his mantle. He’s expected to be a huge favorite and won’t come at a cheap price, but that’s because the current No. 6 pound-for-pound legend looks to be matched up against an inferior opponent this time out.
Marquez is approaching 40 but doesn’t show any signs of slowing down. With the exception of age Marquez holds just about every edge in this fight, from power and experience to the hometown crowd.
Fedchenko will be fighting for his first world title, and unfortunately for him it’s going to be against one of the best in the sport. The Ukrainian boxer will look to beat the odds with solid skills and will have a puncher’s chance, but considering the fact that he only has 13 KO wins in 31 fights that puncher’s chance may not have as much value as it usually does.
The step up in competition for Fedchenko will be huge, but so will the payout on the untested Ukrainian if he can somehow find a way to get the upset and take the title. Despite having good boxing skills the European will not bring anything new for Marquez to deal with, and he will need to be innovative if he hopes to shock the boxing world.

The defending champions are considered true longshots on the Champions Tour golf betting odds to register a repeat victory this weekend at the annual Liberty Mutual Insurance Legends of Golf tournament beginning Friday at The Westin Savannah Harbor Golf Resort & Spa in Savannah, Georgia.
Join Bovada NOW for an instant 20% Free Bet Bonus up to $100.
Despite winning the 2011 Legends of Golf tournament title with a par on the second extra playoff hole last year, Mark McNulty and David Eger are well down the list at 33/1 odds to win this dynamic 54-hole, two-man team, better-ball event that was originally held in 1978, and is considered the spark behind the formation of the Senior Tour in 1980.
McNulty and Eger combined to shoot rounds of 64-64-61 (27-under par) on the par-72, 7,087-yard course at picturesque Savannah Harbor last year, before defeating the runner-up team of Scott Hoch and Kenny Perry (63-62-64) in a playoff.
Perry, who finished in second place behind Champions Tour winner Michael Allen last week at the Encompass Insurance Pro-Am of Tampa Bay, is teaming up with Russ Cochran for this year’s event, and that powerful pairing is listed as the co-favorite on the golf betting odds at 5/1 to win the Legends of Golf title. Cochran was paired with Mark Wiebe last year and missed the playoff by just one stroke (66-64-60).
Fred Couples and Jay Haas are also considered formidable contenders to win this week at 5/1 odds, while 2009 champions Bernhard Langer and Tom Lehman figure to be strong challengers again at short 11/2 odds. Mark O’Meara and Nick Price won this event in 2010 and are listed at 16/1 odds to repeat the feat in 2012.

The vacant WBC Super Bantamweight title will be up for grabs this Saturday when Abner Mares (23-0-1) meets Eric Morel (46-2-0) in El Paso, Texas. Besides the title the winner will also be in line to land a big-money fight against either WBO champ Nonito Donaire or WBA champ Guillermo Rigondeaux.
Join Bovada NOW for an instant 20% Free Bet Bonus up to $100.
Undefeated Mares will be moving up in weight class from Bantamweight to fight Morel, and will be a heavy favorite to win. Besides youth, Mares will also hold edges in the power and speed categories over his opponent.
Mares will need to utilize his jab with consistency in order to set up his trademark power body shots. Despite a current 11-fight win streak Morel looks to be past his prime and will need an exceptional effort to walk away as the new WBC Super Bantamweight champion on Saturday night.
Morel is still an effective fighter in close quarters but he’s lost foot and hand speed over the last couple of years. He will look to slow the fight down to a pace that he’s comfortable with and slowly chip away at his opponent over the first five rounds.
Mares will come out looking to put the pressure on Morel and force the action at a hurried pace. If Mares can maintain that pace the 37-year-old Morel may run out gas before the end of the fight, and if he’s in good shape we’re likely in for a great matchup on Saturday.

One can’t argue that Hendrick Motorsports has the best driver talent and most resources of any NASCAR Sprint Cup team. But that team also has now gone 13 straight races without a victory dating to last season. Can it end that streak Sunday at Kansas Speedway in the STP 400? Well, Hendrick driver Jimmie Johnson is the 11/2 favorite to reach Victory Lane.

Johnson won the fall race last October at Kansas for owner Rick Hendrick’s 199th career victory. So perhaps it would be fitting to get No. 200 at the same track, a 1.5-mile oval. The winless drought is the longest for Hendrick since the latter part of the 2002 season and the beginning of 2003, when the team went 15 races without a victory. Johnson, who finished runner-up last week at Texas, leads all drivers with 501 laps led at Kansas and is tied with Jeff Gordon for the most Top 10s there with nine.
Greg Biffle, last week’s winner and the points leader, Matt Kenseth and Tony Stewart all opened as the second-favorites at 8/1. Biffle has six consecutive Top-10 finishes at Kansas. Last week’s victory was his first since winning at Kansas in 2010; he also won there in 2007 for the first of his 17 Sprint Cup victories. In 12 races at Kansas, Kenseth has yet to win but has six Top-10 finishes. Stewart, the only driver with two victories this year, has two career wins at Kansas, tying Johnson, Biffle and Gordon for the most there. Gordon is 9/1 to win this week.
Is this the week that Carl Edwards’ 40-race winless drought ends? Edwards (10/1) has been passed for the final lead change in two of the past five races at Kansas. His best result at the track was finishing second to Johnson in 2008. Brad Keselowski (14/1) is the defending champion of this race and the only driver not named Biffle, Johnson or Stewart to win in the past seven races at Kansas.

Kyle Busch hasn’t visited Victory Lane on the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series since winning the non-points Budweiser Shootout at Daytona to kick off the 2012 season, but Busch is the opening 5/1 favorite on Bovada’s motorsports odds for Saturday night’s Capital City 400 presented by Virginia is for Lovers race.

Look for plenty of bumping at the short-track Richmond International Speedway. Why is Busch the favorite? He has won this race the past three years and was runner-up the two years before that. Busch hasn’t won any race since last August (21 races ago). Busch is aiming to join Jeff Gordon and Darrell Waltrip as the only drivers to win the same Sprint Cup race four straight seasons.
It’s essentially the home track of Busch’s teammate Denny Hamlin (11/2), who won last week at Kansas for his second victory of the season – only Hamlin and Tony Stewart have won twice. Hamlin also has won twice at Richmond in his career and is looking for back-to-back victories on the series for the first time since June 2010. Hamlin finished second to Busch a year ago.
Jimmie Johnson is at 13/2 to win his first race of the season and Hendrick Motorsports its 200th as a team, which it has been stuck on since last fall. Johnson has won three times at Richmond but always in the fall race. He has only two Top-10 finishes in the spring race, including eighth last year.
Points leader Greg Biffle is only 15/1 to win this week as he has never tasted victory at Richmond, although he does have two Top-5 finishes. Biffle finished 15th a year ago.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. (15/1) and Stewart (10/1) are tied with Johnson and Biffle for the active lead with three career wins at Richmond. Junior hasn’t been much of a factor in this race since his 2006 win. Stewart has never won the spring race but has finished second twice.
Carl Edwards (9/1) usually fares well on short tracks and but has yet to win at Richmond. He has finished fifth in this race the past two years.

The WBA Welterweight title will be on the line this weekend, and once again undefeated Vyacheslav Senchenko will be in front of his hometown fans to defend his belt. The Ukrainian champion will be defending his title for the third time, and this time he will be taking on former IBF Welterweight champion Paulie Malignaggi. Bet on boxing with Bovada.
Join Bovada NOW for an instant 20% Free Bet Bonus up to $100.
Senchenko may be an undefeated champion but he hasn’t fought nearly the competition that Malignaggi has in his career. That translates to a tough fight for Senchenko, who will be taking a step up in competition and will likely get his biggest test in the ring thus far. Despite that, the champ will still be the favorite to win.
Keys to victory for Senchenko will include utilizing his speed and footwork to stay away from his opponent and score with his long jab. He will need to get in, throw quick combinations, and then get out of Malignaggi’s range before he can be counter-punched.
Pace will also be an important element to Senchenko’s success. He will need to keep the pressure up and not let his opponent get comfortable. If he can do that he should be able to wear down the challenger for a decision win. If he doesn’t keep the pressure up Malignaggi will surely keep coming at him, and that could create problems for the champ in the later rounds of the fight.
Malignaggi will need to utilize his exceptional stamina to weather the storm and try to counter-punch at every opportunity. If he can get the fight into the later rounds he should have more left in the tank than Senchenko, and as long as he doesn’t get too far behind in the scorecards a late-fight rally could be enough to take the fight and the WBA Welterweight title.

“Sugar” Shane Mosley will attempt to add another world title to his collection this weekend when he faces Saul Alvarez for the WBC Light Middleweight title. Oddsmakers at Bovada aren’t giving the 40-year-old former champion much of a chance, and have him handicapped as a big underdog. Bet on boxing with Bovada.
Join Bovada NOW for an instant 20% Free Bet Bonus up to $100.
Mosley has been fighting the best boxers in the world for over a decade but has posted a record of 2-3-1 over his last six fights. Now he will face a young undefeated champion who’s in the prime of his career with 29 knockouts in 39 wins. Barring an epic upset it could be the last time that boxing fans will get to see Mosley in a fight as big as this one.
What the +575 Bovada underdog Mosley does has going for him against Alvarez is that no fighter has ever been able to stop him in a fight. His opponent will be 19 years younger than him and will hit a lot harder, but the elusive Mosley will be biggest name Alvarez has ever faced and could create problems for the champion.
Alvarez is coming off an impressive fifth-round KO over Kermit Cintron and is finally getting big-name fights on the big stage. As the Bovada -950 favorite the champion is expected to overpower Mosley for either a unanimous decision or TKO win. Alvarez can win the fight either way and should dominate, especially if the bout goes to the later rounds.
Alvarez will be fighting for Mexican pride on Cinco de Mayo for the second time in his career. The first was his May 5, 2010 win against Miguel Cotto on the undercard on Mayweather vs. Mosley, and now it’s his day to finally headline a huge card against a legend of boxing for big dollars and boxing fame.

Most of the biggest names on the PGA Tour will be out in full force this week as the Wells Fargo Championship unfolds at the Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina, with defending champion Lucas Glover a distant 80/1 longshot on the golf betting odds to chalk up a repeat win against a field packed with former major champions.
Join Bovada NOW for an instant 20% Free Bet Bonus up to $100.
With THE PLAYERS Championship looming large on the golf betting calendar for next week, PGA Tour luminaries such as Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, and Rory McIlroy will all be teeing it up this week at the difficult 7,469-yard, par-72 layout at Quail Hollow.
Woods, who won the Wells Fargo title back in 2007, is listed at 9/1 odds to bounce back from a disappointing T40 finish last month at the Masters with a win this week at Quail Hollow, but even at those short odds he’s not the overall betting favorite.
That honor instead belongs to young McIlroy, who fired a course-record 62 during the fourth round of his first career PGA Tour victory at the Wells Fargo Championship in 2010. McIlroy finished in a tie with Woods at Augusta and is listed as the chalk to win this week at 15/2 odds.
As for Mickelson, who finished just short of winning a fourth green jacket with a T3 finish at the Masters, the veteran lefthander has six Top 10 finishes in eight career appearances at this event and sits third behind McIlroy and Woods on the list of top contenders at 12/1 odds.
World No. 3 Lee Westwood also figures to be in the mix at 14/1 odds, along with current FedExCup playoffs leader Hunter Mahan at 20/1 odds and 2006 winner Jim Furyk, who is listed at 22/1 odds.
Keegan Bradley, Webb Simpson, and Zach Johnson are each listed at 33/1 odds, while Jonathan Byrd – who lost in a playoff last year to Glover – is back at 66/1 odds.

Marco Huck and Ola Afolabi will stage a rematch this weekend for Huck’s WBO Cruiserweight championship, and the oddsmakers at Bovada are offering moneyline and OVER/UNDER action on the fight. Bet on boxing today.
Join Bovada NOW for an instant 20% Free Bet Bonus up to $100.
In their first meeting three years ago Huck secured a close unanimous-decision victory that was scored 115-113, 116-112, 115-113. As expected Huck is the favorite this time around, but the current line on the champ is certainly coming at a reasonable price. Oddsmakers at Bovada have him as the -225 favorite to once again outwork Afolabi.
Huck is fighting a mandatory defense at Cruiserweight following an unsuccessful attempt to win a Heavyweight title against WBA champ Alexander Povetkin. Before his loss at Heavyweight, Huck was on a 15-fight win streak at Cruiserweight including eight straight title defenses. As usual he will be fighting in front of his German fans in what should be a triumphant return to his natural weight class.
Afolabi comes into the fight as the WBO Interim and WBO Intercontinental Cruiserweight champion and has gone 5-0 since his last meeting with Huck. As the Bovada +175 underdog there may be some value in the upset if Huck is unable to get up for his return to the smaller stage against an opponent he’s already beaten. Get your WBO betting lines today.
The OVER/UNDER action on the Huck vs. Afolabi fight at Bovada is set at 10.5 rounds. The OVER bet comes with a hefty price of -550, but if the first fight is any indication a decision outcome is very likely.
If you like the idea that Huck will be confident enough to walk through Afolabi, or that the champ will not be motivated in his return and make a big mistake, the UNDER line pays a generous +325.

The OVER/UNDER action on the Huck vs. Afolabi fight at Bovada is set at 10.5 rounds. The OVER bet comes with a hefty price of -550, but if the first fight is any indication a decision outcome is very likely.
If you like the idea that Huck will be confident enough to walk through Afolabi, or that the champ will not be motivated in his return and make a big mistake, the UNDER line pays a generous +325.

A mega-fight with Manny Pacquiao couldn’t be worked out – again – so Floyd Mayweather Jr., considered by many the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world, returns to the ring Saturday night in Las Vegas against a very capable but big underdog in Miguel Cotto. Mayweather is a -700 on Bovada’s boxing odds, with Cotto at +450.

The 35-year-old Mayweather is supposed to be recently out of jail due to plea deal on a domestic violence charge in Las Vegas. Instead, a judge agreed to delay his 90-day sentence until June 1, citing the need for the city's economy to have this fight, which is expected to pump nearly $100 million into the local economy.
Mayweather (42-0, 26 KOs) chose Cotto (36-2, 29 KOs) only after failing to land a date with Pacquiao. The two sides have discussed what's likely to be the most lucrative fight in boxing history for nearly three years without reaching a deal. So why Cotto? The Puerto Rican is the next biggest pay-per-view attraction in boxing after Mayweather and Pacquiao.
“Money,” a seven-time world champion in five weight classes, will battle Cotto at 154 pounds (junior middleweight), a move up from the long-time welterweight's past four fights. Mayweather last fought at junior middleweight in 2007, beating Oscar De La Hoya by split decision. Mayweather last was in the ring in September 2011, beating Victor Ortiz controversially by knockout to win the WBC welterweight title.
Cotto, 31, will be making the third defense of his WBA junior middleweight title. He is coming off a 10th-round knockout victory against Antonio Margarito. Cotto's only defeats are against Margarito (in 2008) and Pacquiao, who stopped Cotto in November 2009. Cotto won the belt following the Pacquiao loss, beating Yuri Foreman in June 2010 by TKO.
Mayweather and Cotto have fought three common opponents: Shane Mosley, Zab Judah and, way back when, DeMarcus Corley. Mayweather beat all three by unanimous decision. Cotto beat Mosley by UD, Judah by an 11th-round TKO and Corley by a fifth-round TKO.

If there’s a track suited for Dale Earnhardt Jr. to end his long winless streak in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series it’s definitely Talladega Superspeedway, and the series visits the historic Alabama track on Sunday for the restrictor-plate Aaron’s 499. Junior is the opening favorite at 17/2 on Bovada’s NASCAR odds.

Earnhardt, still the most popular driver on the circuit, last visited Victory Lane in the Cup series on June 15, 2008, at Michigan, not quite halfway through the first year of his contract with Hendrick Motorsports. So that winless streak reached 138 races last Saturday night at Richmond.
But a victory seems imminent. Since his last victory, Earnhardt has finished second seven times and third four times. Two of those runner-up finishes have come this year, most recently last week at Richmond. In addition, Junior has two of those third-place finishes this year. Earnhardt's worst finish this season is a 15th at Bristol, and he is up to second in the points, five behind Greg Biffle.
Earnhardt won a record-setting four consecutive races at the 2.66-mile superspeedway from October 2001 to April 2003. Earnhardt’s five wins at Talladega, last in 2004, are the most for him at any track and rank him third all-time there behind his late father (10) and Jeff Gordon (six).
Junior finished runner-up in this race last year, pushing teammate Jimmie Johnson to the victory. With 55 career Sprint Cup wins so far, Johnson is seeking his first trip to Victory Lane this season. Johnson (10/1) is usually hit or miss at Talladega, where he also won in 2006. The five-time series champion has finished 26th or worse in three of the last six races (including fall) there.
The second-favorite is Kevin Harvick at 9/1. Harvick made his first Sprint Cup series appearance at Talladega in 2001 and has since has earned one victory (2010), six Top-five and 10 Top-10 finishes. He finished fifth in this race in 2011. Harvick is the last driver to sweep the Top 10 in all four superspeedway races (2010) and after finishing seventh in the Daytona 500, he could again this season.

Tiger Woods isn't coming off a strong outing at last week's Wells Fargo Championship, but can he turn his game around in time to pay off on the golf props this week at THE PLAYERS Championship at TPC Sawgrass? Get your PGA odds at Bovada.

Woods missed the cut last week at Quail Hollow, shooting rounds of 71 and 73 over the first two days of the tournament and then heading home early. That means Woods doesn't have any momentum as he heads into this week's 'fifth major' in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida to compete in a tournament that he won back in 2001.
And Woods can't draw on last year's performance at THE PLAYERS Championship for any inspiration either, as he withdrew from that event after just nine holes with leg pain – he'd shot an ugly 42 over those nine holes.
So where once Woods would be a dominant favorite on the golf odds for a tournament like THE PLAYERS, he enters this week tied for fourth at 20/1 with Phil Mickelson to win the event. Rory McIlroy (9/1), Lee Westwood (14/1), and Luke Donald (14/1) lead those odds.
Woods is also tied with Mickelson at 25/1 odds to lead THE PLAYERS after the first round this week – which would require a much better score on the front nine than 42. McIlroy (12/1), Westwood (16/1), and Donald (16/1) lead that prop wager as well.
At Bovada you can also get +350 odds on Woods finishing in the Top 5 at TPC Sawgrass this week, with the 'No' side of that golf prop favored at -550. Woods is also at +160 to end up in the Top 10, with that 'No' side at -210.
Finally, if you like Woods' chances of bouncing back from last week's Wells Fargo outing and actually making the cut this week you can get a payout of -450 on that wager; Woods missing the cut for the second week in a row has a line of +300.

The WBO Flyweight title will be up for grabs this Sunday when Brian Viloria (30-3-0-2) puts his title on the line against former WBC Flyweight champion Omar Nino (31-4-2). They will fight in front of Viloria’s fans in the Philippines, where the champ is expected to dominate his older opponent. Weigh in on the match with Bovada's boxing betting line.

This will be the third meeting between these two fighters. The first time they met it ended with Nino taking Viloria’s IBF Flyweight title, and the second meeting ended in a no-contest due to Nino testing positive for a banned substance following the fight.
This time the two are hoping to finally find out who the better man is without a bunch of controversy surrounding the results of the fight.
Out of the two fighters it’s been Viloria who’s had the most success since they last met, and he should finally settle the score with a win over Nino on Sunday. Viloria took Julio Cesar Miranda’s WBO title last July and has since defended it against Giovani Segura last December.
Now he’s back in the ring ready to defend it for the second time only a few months since his last fight. Viloria is in the prime of his career and should be able to outwork the ageing Nino for either a unanimous decision or a late-fight KO victory.
Nino has been one of the best in the Flyweight division for over five years but time could be catching up to the 35-year-old former champion. He gets what could be his last chance to wear world gold against Viloria, but he will need to regain former glory to come out on top of this fight.

Red Bull's Vettel was at 4/1 at last update to win the Chinese Grand Prix on Sunday, with McLaren driver Lewis Hamilton favored at 21/10. McLaren's Jenson Button (13/5), Ferrari's Fernando Alonso (10/1), and Red Bull's Mark Webber (12/1) follow on the list.
Lotus' Kimi Raikkonen (20/1) and Mercedes' Nico Rosberg (25/1) and Michael Schumacher (25/1) round out the top contenders on the Formula 1 odds for this weekend's race.
Button won the season-opening Australian Grand Prix back on March 18, with Vettel and Hamilton joining him on the podium at that event. Alonso finished first at the Malaysia Grand Prix on March 25, with Vettel ending up back in 11th place at that race; that has him just sixth in the drivers championship heading into the race in China this weekend.
Hamilton won the Chinese Grand Prix last season, beating Vettel across the finish line by five seconds. Webber was third at that event, followed by Button, Rosberg, Felipe Massa, Alonso, and Schumacher. Vitaly Petrov and Kamui Kobayashi rounded out the Top 10.
Hamilton's McLaren team is the 2/3 favorite to provide the winning car on Sunday, with Red Bull behind them at 27/10 on those odds. Ferrari sits at 9/1 on that list, with Mercedes at 12/1, and Lotus at 14/1.
And on the Formula 1 futures at Bovada it's Hamilton now the 2/1 favorite to win the drivers championship this season, with Vettel at just 11/4 after his slow start to the season. Button sits at 5/2, Alonso at 9/1, and Webber at 20/1. McLaren is also the 4/9 favorite over Red Bull (9/4) to claim this season's constructors championship.
