The Showtime Super Six semi-final match-up between Andre Ward and Arthur Abraham highlights the week 7 pick'em line-up. The versatile Oakland fighter looks tough to beat, but given the odds, the German slugger just might be worth taking a gamble on.
Also on the game sheet is this week's Friday Night Fights main-even between Kendall Holt and Julio Diaz, along with Sam Webb's British 154lb title defense against Prince Arron of Prizefighter fame.
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.

"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."

Sorry for the late notice, but I realized when tabulating this week’s scores that you had already gone over the triples limit last week. I changed 2 of last week’s triples to doubles – which left you with 1 double and no triples heading into this week. With only 1 double left, it was used on the Arron pick.
