A fairly busy weekend of pick'em action awaits us, with four fights on the week 7 line-up.
We've got an HBO double-header featuring a couple of talented youngsters with 20-year-old Saul "Canelo" Alvarez facing off against Matthew Hatton, along with 21-year-old prospect Adrien "The Problem" Broner taking on Mexican slugger Daniel Ponce de Leon. There's also Zab Judah going up against South African Kaizer Mabuza in the feature bout of an Integrated Sports PPV, plus Gary Sykes puts his British super-featherweight crown on the line against Carl Johanneson on Sky Sports.
