We've got another busy line-up of pick'em action on tap for you with six fights on the schedule.
A welterweight clash between Andre Berto and Victor Ortiz headlines HBO's offering, with Amir Khan taking on Paul McCloskey also on the broadcast. Showtime features a featherweight battle from Puerto Rico with heavy handed Juan Manuel Lopez going up against veteran Orlando Salido.
There's also the British welterweight title match-up, this week's FNF main-event, the European 122lb title bout and a battle of super-flyweights from Argentina between southpaws Omar Narvaez and Cesar Seda. Some of the fights are on Friday, so make sure to get your selections in on time for those.
