Tarver vs Aguilera (10/15)

Tarver vs Aguilera (10/15) The aged Antonio Tarver gets back into the ring after more then a year off at a much higher weight tonight. He's facing a nobody in Aguilera who's claim to fame was his 1st round KO of a Faded Maskaev a year ago. Since then he got bombed out by Samuel Peter then losing to a journeyman in Maurice Harris. Many are claiming that Harris is more then he really is as a way of propping up Aguilera. Hard to tell how Tarver will perform but I'm fading the steam on this fight. Almost everyone has jumped on the Aguilera bandwagon and they have bet the number way down on Tarver. I'm skipping most of the necessary analysis of this fight because the unknowns on Tarver at the much heavier weight would normally make me just skip this fight. This is what I think this fight comes down to... Tarver wouldn't be in this fight, if he wasn't very likely to win. I have read a bunch of writes ups for this fight touting Aguilera and I just think they are simply forgetting a few basic facts. Tarver a very good SHOWTIME announcer is headlining a SHOWTIME fight and Tarver called one of Aguilera's fights and has seen Aguilera up close and personal and knows exactly what he has to offer. I'm happy to take Tarver at the bet down price of -200. 2 units to win 1 Understand even though Tarver is the favorite, many really like Aguilera in this fight)

I couldn't find it and was curious what the price on this fight started at, or at least generally how high it was earlier?

Can I have that 30 minutes back??? Fight was terrible to watch. Tarver clearly won the fight. As I said, many boxing writers including TheFightWriter, thought that Aguilera would win. The simple fact is that Tarver didn't select Aguilera because he thought he'd lose. Sometimes very smart people just overlook the obvious. Including myself. We take the cash this time. Updated record. Including 16 parlays (10-6) (+6.98) 5 straddle bets (1-4) (-1.84) 11 OVER/UNDER (3-8) (-9.55) 43 straight bets (33-10) (+24.442) Overall 47-29 172.818 units wagered (+22.607 Units)

Good call, and yeah bad fight. Maybe worse announcing.
