The Bad Left Hook Pick'em Game: Season 15 - Week 10

Only one week to go, and the title race is still wide open. If you're a little farther back in the standings, this week still holds value in determining POTY points, so don't miss out on getting your selections in.

We've got a packed line-up to close the season, with light-heavyweights Tavoris Cloud and Bernard Hopkins topping the bill on HBO's Saturday night main-event. The supporting bout features Keith Thurman taking a step up in class against tough veteran Jan Zaveck. Also on Saturday, HBO Latino has an interesting 130lb rematch between Juan Carlos Salgado and Argenis Mendez, while Sky has Darren Barker taking on Simone Rotolo and Lee Purdy going up against late replacement Cosme Rivera.

On Friday, heavyweight prospect Magomed Abdusalamov looks to stay unbeaten against Victor Bisbal on FNF, while Shobox has Hugo Centeno Jr taking on Keandre Leatherwood.
