    just checked out bet365.com expecting the odds to relfect what is IMO a pick'em fight.....and they have Dawson as a pretty clear favourite....

    <TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="100%" border=0><TBODY><TR class="b1 rh1"><TD class="bn3 ntop">Chad Dawson vs Antonio Tarver</TD><TD class="brr ntop" noWrap></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE><TABLE class=fixw id=tableData_33641872 cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format" xmlns:msxsl="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt"><TBODY><TR class=w><TD colSpan=10 height=1>
    Dawson to Win 4/11
    Tarver to Win 2/1


    </TD></TR><TR class="c1 rh1"><TD class="an4 w b bl ntop" width=465>Chad Dawson by KO, TKO or Disqualification</TD><TD class="acn wd_odds ntop">9/2</TD><TD class=ecn onclick="javascript: betN('pt=N#o=9/2#f=33641872#fp=71170663#so=0#ln=#c=9#');"></TD></TR><TR class="c1 rh1"><TD class="an4 w b bl">Chad Dawson by Decision or Technical Decision</TD><TD class="acn wd_odds">8/11</TD><TD class=ecn onclick="javascript: betN('pt=N#o=8/11#f=33641872#fp=71170664#so=0#ln=#c=9#');"></TD></TR><TR class="c1 rh1"><TD class="an4 w b bl">Antonio Tarver by KO, TKO or Disqualification</TD><TD class="acn wd_odds">9/2</TD><TD class=ecn onclick="javascript: betN('pt=N#o=9/2#f=33641872#fp=71170665#so=0#ln=#c=9#');"></TD></TR><TR class="c1 rh1"><TD class="an4 w b bl">Antonio Tarver by Decision or Technical Decision</TD><TD class="acn wd_odds">5/1</TD><TD class=ecn onclick="javascript: betN('pt=N#o=5/1#f=33641872#fp=71170666#so=0#ln=#c=9#');"></TD></TR><TR class="c1 rh1"><TD class="an4 w b bl bb">Draw or Technical Draw</TD><TD class="acn wd_odds bb">20/1</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

    those odds surprised me....Tarver by KO at 9/2 looks particuarly inviting

    am i seeing this fight wrong?...or are the bookies?.....

    I'm almost tempted to have a punt on Tarver at 5-1 by decision, but seriously, how can you really put any faith (and hard cash) in Tarver?

    Really? :dunno:

    ....i will find it hard to root for Tarver.....there are few boxers i dislike, but he is one of them

    ....but the odds do look very good value, and i have no particular admiration for Dawson.....and fuck it, it's money

    I expected the odds to be closer, too.

    I don't see Tarver outpointing Dawson if he wins, though, I see him cracking Dawson on the jaw and stopping him. Dawson is still the pick, obviously.

    Speaking of odds. Bet-at-home offers 4.75 on Bunema against Martinez. Seems crazy high to me.
