*** Before we get to this week's line-up, please note that there was an error in the scores posted last week. Players that took the Over 5 1/2 in the Klitschko-Thompson bout, initially lost 6 points (or more in the case of doubles/triples), while players that went with the Under 5 1/2, were credited with 6 points. The error has been addressed, and the scores for Week 7 are now correct. Apologies or the mistake. ***

The heavyweight showdown from Upton Park between David Haye and Dereck Chisora tops this weekend's bill. This one is only a 10-rounder, so take that into account when making your selections.

We've also got the HBO main-event, with Amir Khan taking on Danny Garcia. Along with the usual pick-the-winner option, we've added an Over/Under for this one.

Also on the line-up is the Friday Night Fights main-event, with veteran Glen Johnson going up against Andrzej Fonfara, along with the Wealth TV PPV main-event between Anthony Mundine and Bronco McKart. Rounding things out is a flyweight clash from Japan, between new 112lb champion Sonny Boy Jaro and southpaw Toshiyuki Igarashi.

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.
