WBA and WBO lightweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez is just 30-100 on Betfair to retain his titles at the Mandalay Bay Casino, Las Vegas, on Saturday night. Marquez defends his crown against Juan Diaz, a 7-2 punt, in a rematch of their February 2009 bout which the 36-year-old Mexican won in the 9th round. The draw is available at 26-1. The reigning champion is available at 7-5 to deliver another win by knock-out, while Diaz is an 8-1 shot to KO his opponent.
