The Bad Left Hook Pick'em Game: Season 19 - Week 8

The light-heavyweight title match-up from Montreal between Adonis Stevenson and visiting Tony Bellew tops the bill this week. We've also got an over/under option for this one, as we do for the main supporting bout between Sergey Kovalev and Ismayl Sillakh. On the same show is a welterweight clash between unbeaten Kevin Bizier and veteran Jo Jo Dan.

Juan Carlos Sanchez takes on visiting Zolani Tete in a junior-bantamweight bout from Mexico. Plus we've got a well matched 105lb bout from the Philippines between local fighter Merlito Sabillo and 21-year-old Carlos Buitrago of Nicaragua. Rounding out the line-up is a heavyweight match-up from the UK, with Dereck Chisora taking on Ondrej Pala.

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.
