A fairly busy weekend of pick'em action awaits us, with four fights on the week 7 line-up.
We've got an HBO double-header featuring a couple of talented youngsters with 20-year-old Saul "Canelo" Alvarez facing off against Matthew Hatton, along with 21-year-old prospect Adrien "The Problem" Broner taking on Mexican slugger Daniel Ponce de Leon. There's also Zab Judah going up against South African Kaizer Mabuza in the feature bout of an Integrated Sports PPV, plus Gary Sykes puts his British super-featherweight crown on the line against Carl Johanneson on Sky Sports.
For those that are new to the game, please 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 might as well make one selection in order to get the weekly bonus points.

Sorry about no schedule again this week
Stuck on jury duty. Federal court, so no electronics, and I still need to put in my 8 – 10 hours of work after getting done.
Anyway, at the risk of ending up in the negatives after the week is over:
A. (1) 1 – Judah to win
B. (1) 2 – Judah decision
C. PASS
D. (1) 4 – Broner decision
E. (1) 3 – Alvarez decision
F. PASS

Just noticed….most intriguing fight of the weekend (IMO) isn’t on here. Sillakh vs. Despaigne could be a pretty good one. Two hypes but older prospects with serious amateur experience going at it less that 15fights into their respective careers. I’m guessing there wasn’t a line on that one?

There was no line posted on Sillakh-Despaigne, but I probably should have taken a guess at the odds and included it. There hasn’t been a line posted on the Ponce-Broner fight either, but I took my best guest as to what the odds would probably be… which might end up being a little off. I didn’t want to include the main-event between Alvarez-Hatton, and leave that one out given I think it’s the more interesting fight.
