The Bad Left Hook Pick'em Game: Season 7 - Week 8

Stay connected for news and updates

Despite a rather a slow weekend ahead, we've still got several fights on the pick'em line-up.  Everything takes place on Friday, so make sure to get your selections in on time.

A couple of FNF fights top the bill with Lamont Peterson taking on Victor Cayo in a 140lb match-up and Edison Miranda going up against Yordanis Despaigne in a light-heavyweight clash.  Plenty at stake in the Peterson-Cayo bout as a fight with Amir Khan could possibly await the winner.

Also on the schedule is a featherweight clash from Australia between Billy Dib and Jorge Lacierva, along with the Telefutura main-event between Beibut Shumenov and Danny Santiago.  If you're going to be making a pick on the Dib-Lacierva bout, make sure to take into account the time difference in Australia and get your selection in early.

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.
