Wladimir Klitschko takes on David Haye this Saturday in Hamburg, Germany. It's the fight everyone has been eagerly anticipating, and naturally, it's the focus of this week's pick'em game, with plenty of points to be won (and lost) on the heavyweight showdown.
Who's going to win? How will they win? Will it be early or late? Three selections - pick the winner, method of victory and over/under - all devoted to Klitschko-Haye.
We've got a few other fights on the line-up as well. There's Celestino Caballero's trip to Argentina to take on Jonathan Victor Barros in a featherweight clash. One undercard bout from the German show, with Ola Afolabi facing off against longshot Terry Dunstan in a cruiserweight match-up, and ESPN's FNF main-event between Mark Melligan and Sebastian Lujan.
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).
