In the history of the Bad Left Hook pick'em game, there have been few rougher episodes than what took place over Season 12's opening weekend. Even most of those who picked Carl Froch to win (and there were 15 such astute entries) struggled to put points on the board, as the manner in which the Nottingham fighter dispatched Lucian Bute was only foreseen by a handful of players.

Leading the way with a big 52 points was TheMysticalNinja, thanks to a 3 for 5 weekend that included a double on Froch to win and a triple on Froch by stoppage.

In second spot was first time player DrRck (3 for 4), who did a fair job of fooling everyone into believing he was no threat to contend... only to throw down a 30.5 score. Third spot went to alargar (4 for 5) at 26.5, while ekker3 (3 for 5) took fourth with 18.5 and Skeletor1982 (2 for 4) grabbed fifth with 18.5.

The only other players to score higher than the weekly 10 point bonus were tetsujin (1 for 2) at 17 and tencount (2 for 4) with 12.

The rest of the top ten had knibilnats at 9, Oli Goldstein 8.5 and a tie for the tenth spot between danywade and Matt Miller with 7.5 each.
