The Bad Left Hook Pick'em Game: Season 13 - Week 6

This weekend's pick'em game brings you plenty of action, with the 168lb showdown between Andre Ward (BLH #1 at 168) and Chad Dawson (BLH #1 at 175) topping the bill. Along with the standard pick the winner, and method of victory, we've added and over/under option for this one. The second half of the double-header features a match-up of top ten lightweights, with Antonio DeMarco (#2 at 135) squaring off with John Molina (#9).

Showtime has an interesting junior-welterweight clash, which just might be the best fight this weekend, with Lucas Matthysse (#3 at 140) going up against undefeated Ajose Olusegun (#7). The latter has been waiting quite a while for his chance, and is in tough against the hard hitting Argentinean.

There's also a couple of heavyweight match-ups on the game-sheet, with Vitali Klitschko (#2 at heavy) going up against Manuel Charr, and Tomasz Adamek (#4) taking on Travis Walker. If you're looking for a big gain with minimal risk, the odds are long on both underdogs.

Rounding out the line-up is a light-heavyweight bout from England, with Tony Bellew taking on Edison Miranda.
