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

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.

You can check out last week's standings here.

Let’s get to the week 8 line-up…

Apologies for not catching this sooner – but noticed you have already gone over the limit of 5 triples for the season – so I changed C from a triple to a double. I also changed two of your triples last week to doubles as well, as you had actually used 7 as of last week. With all the changes, your score was only effected by a 1/2 a point.

I changed the Lacierva pick to a single as the Desapigne double was your tenth and final one for the season.

watched the Ana Torres/Jackie Nava tape, probably a better fight anyway. And if you couldn’t get a stream working, I probably couldn’t either.

I think it wasn’t on tv anyway, ridiculously enough – was getting some brief updates on twitter. Your time was better spent on the Torres/Nava fight, from the sounds of it. Looking forward to catching up on that…
