There's a ton of action happening this weekend, with nine fights on the pick'em line-up.
We've devoted two selections to the middleweight title clash between Sergio Martinez and Darren Barker, along with one each for the other eight contests on the game-sheet. Lots to choose from, and plenty of points to be won and lost - so if you're down in the standings, this is the weekend to make up some ground.
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.
