...Jones/Tarver III it looks like is being marketed as a pick em fight, with subsequent odds to match.
Get. Your. House. On. Tarver.

I would never put any substantial amount on guy who only made his name because of another fighters apparent demise.
I know it's unlikely but you never know for sure, Jones might have sorted himself out to a degree. I hope to god he wins, reading about how the fans booed Jones when he appeared on the big screen at the first Johnson v Tarver fight absolutely sickened me. fornicating scum.

On oddschecker.com, Tarver is 4/11 and Jones 5/2.
Which sadly sounds about right.
(Sadly in terms of making some easy dough).

oh.
well, there goes my theory. i was expecting like 5/6 on each. Maybe if HBO hype Jones up as 'eager for revenge' and 'on the comeback trail' the odds will get better.
Edit: Bet 365 have 'A Tarvey' (!) at 2/5- that's probably about the best you can get.

Did anyone else hear about the little spat Jones had with Kellerman? Apparently Kellerman said Jones was damaged goods and Jones heard him on the ringside headset, Jones then refused to accept a Kellerman apology. I think HBO will be building this fight up but personally i think Jones is as good as done and should just retire gracefully.
