There's a lot happening this weekend. Perhaps too much, especially on Saturday night, when fans will have their attention divided between a couple of big shows.
Will Antonio Margarito take down Miguel Cotto once more, or can the Puerto Rican gain his revenge? How will the other rematch play out between Abner Mares and Joseph Agbeko?
We've got some heavyweight action on the game-sheet as well, plus a couple of Friday fights, and under-card action from the big Saturday shows. Plenty of points to be won and lost, so if you're down in the standings, this is the weekend to make up some ground.
For those that haven't played before, welcome to the best pick'em game going. Please join right in and start playing (just make sure to check out the rules - we promise they are very simple).
An explanation of how to fill out your selections appears at the bottom of this post - please follow these instructions as it makes it easier for us to tabulate the results quickly each week.
You can check out the latest standings here.
Let’s get to the week 6 line-up…

"Occasionally, there is a boxing match that, in its demonstration of skill, courage, intelligence, hope, seems to redeem the sport - almost. Perhaps boxing has always been a sport in crisis, a sport of crisis."
A quick note to let you know the decision/stoppage odds for Mares-Agbeko were accidentally reversed. The correct odds have been posted and will be used. You have a chance to make a change before the fight if you would like.

Actually a little surprise on the odds for Mares winning by stoppage and points. They look like they should be reversed. But it ain’t a big deal. I’ll take them
All of it. Gimmie, gimmie, gimmie. I want it all.
Yes, they should be reversed. That was an error, and thanks for bringing it to my attention. The odds have been corrected and the new odds will be used. If you would like to make a change, you can. Thanks.

Correction for D
The odds for D were listed incorrectly. Stoppage odds were listed as 3.5 to win 6.5, which decision odds listed as 1.5 to win 8.5. This has now been corrected. Stoppage odds are now 1.5 to win 8.5, and decision odds are 3.5 to win 6.5. The new odds will be used for ALL players. Players that have already made a selection can make a change if they would like.
