The Bad Left Hook PIck'em Game: Season 7 - Week 6
There are six bouts on the pick'em line-up this week, with the majority of action taking place in the UK.
The most anticipated clash of the weekend features British lightweights John Murray and Kevin Mitchell doing battle at the Echo Arena in Liverpool. Two other bouts on that show are also on the gamesheet, with Ricky Burns going up against Nicky Cook in a junior-lightweight match-up and light-heavyweights Tony Bellew and Ovil McKenzie squaring off. Bellew and McKenzie have met before, with the Liverpool fighter winning via the stoppage route last December.
Another British rematch also takes place on Saturday, with Lee Purdy going up against Craig Watson. Purdy recorded a surprise victory back in April, stopping the heavily favored Watson in the fifth round of their British welterweight title bout.
Rounding out this week's line-up is the Friday Night Fights main-event between junior-middleweights Pawel Wolak and Delvin Rodriguez, along with a cruiserweight match-up from Germany between Marco Huck and Hugo Herman Garay.
