The line is finally out. If Anderson Silva and Roy Jones Jr. go head to head this year in a boxing match, expect to lay some heavy chalk if you are backing Mr. Jones. The guys at Bodog took the reigns and have put out the initial betting line for the event.

  • Roy Jones Jr (-2800)
  • Anderson Silva (+1400)

Yikes! I knew this was going to be a huge lopsided line, but I didn’t really think it was going to be -2800. If you’re unfamiliar with betting lines, this equals out to Roy Jones being a 28-1 favorite. The average betting line for a fight usually ranges from -200 to about -500.

The odds for the fight are only good if the bout takes place in 2008. There’s also a $100 limit on the fight at Bodog. Im sure we’ll see some other online sportsbooks follow suit and post a line this week as well. Stay tuned…
