It's coming down to crunch time with only 3 weeks left to play in the season - and for players still in contention for the Player of the Year Top 10, these last few weeks are all that's left to make a mark on the yearly standings and take home a prize.
This week's featured bout is of course the Super Six Final between Andre Ward and Carl Froch. We've devoted three selections to the tournament showdown, and an over/under pick to the under-card bout between Kell Brook and Luis Galarza.
Also on the game-sheet is a welterweight battle from Quebec City between Antonin Decarie and Victor Lupo, along with a super-middleweight clash from Mexico between Librado Andrade and Donovan George.
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.

I meant the Pick’em Game, not boxing. For me, the Pick’em Game is a game. Boxing certainly is much more than that.

Plus, I actually dare to believe Froch will shock the world.

Haha – I also meant the pick’em game! I was only kidding too (but as 1st place, I am taking the remaining weeks astonishingly seriously) :)
