The Bad Left Hook Pick'em Game: Season 19 - Week 6

Topping the bill this weekend is the long awaited return of arguably the world's best fighter in Andre Ward, with the super-middleweight champion taking on Edwin Rodriguez. We've added an unofficial scorecard option to make this one a little more interesting.

There's more 168lb action on the line-up, with a match-up between James Degale and Dyah Davis. Plus, we've got a super-bantamweight clash between Chris Avalos and Rolly Lunas and the latest comeback attempt by David Tua, with the former heavyweight contender taking on Alexander Ustinov in New Zealand.

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).
