This match has just been announced Oct. 1. I know its early, but any preliminary thoughts? This board moves kinda slow, lol.

Im thinking tarver will be a -200 to -250 favorite, maybe higher.

I'm not so sure. We are talking about Roy Jones here. The public loves him, and I'm sure more people still know his name than Tarver's, even though Tarver arguably beat him twice. I can see it being close to -200 for Tarver, but no higher. Even that sounds crazy to me though. If Jones is over +200 I'll be forced to bet on him just for value. He's still one of the greatest ever.

Jones will lose, so bet on Tarver. Actually, I would take Tarver @ -350. Stay away from the over/under.
