I agree, nobody has a clue. So what will happen imo is they will set it up -115 a piece with low limits, as the money comes in they'll change the line and the limits.
But I have no faith in either man. Pudz's only asset is that he's the strongest man in the world. But he's so inexperienced that after just a few minutes of being tense, brief exchanges and a big adrenaline dump he won't be the strongest man in the world anymore, I doubt after 1 round he'll even be the strongest man in the building. Then it'll be a skill vs skill match, and since Tim is vastly more skilled he'll have a massive advantage. Tim has good defense on the ground, so i think even if Pudz lands a shot, he can't follow it up. Then it's just a matter of time until Pudz stand up falters under Fatigue and Tim TKO's him. But Tim is so good a making mistakes initially that Pudz could have a real shot whilst Pudz has the strength advantage.
I would say it should be -200 Tim, +150 Pudz, but I doubt it'll come out like that or even end up like that.

Pudz - Tim has A LOT of unknown factors, what condition will Tim be in? What has Pudz been training? If he's been working on his wrestling i think he's a real threat. If he thinks he's a striker he will have a harder time imo.
here would a bit of inside knowledge give a huge edge methinks. but with these unknowns i would probably bet for the one with favourable odds since this is a totally open fight. if i knew Tim is working hard and is in shape i would probably bet him, even if Pudz is training wrestling hard Tims experience would give him the edge. a slow out of shape Tim will probably not be able to handle Pudz initial charge.
Pudz cardio should however be better than alot of people thinks, these strongmen are insane in all aspects of athleticism and he is the most insane one of them
