We've got 4 fights on this week's line-up, with Showtime's 122lb match-up between Guillermo Rigondeaux and Rico Ramos topping the bill.

Also on the game-sheet are a couple of bouts from Liverpool. On Friday, Derry Mathews goes up against Italian Emiliano Marsili in a lightweight clash, while British heavyweights David Price and John McDermott square off in the Sky Sports main-event on Saturday.

Rounding off this week's selections is a lightweight match-up from Mexico between Miguel Vazquez and Ameth Diaz.

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.

Is there a cutoff?

Because Mathews-Marsili finished up a little while ago.

by TheDemolitionDan on Jan 20, 2012 6:02 PM EST via iPhone app reply actions  

You can’t make a selection on a fight after it’s started – so right now, picks can only still be made on the Saturday fights (which is still worthwhile, since making just 1 selection is good enough to pick up the 10 point weekly participation bonus).
