The Bad Left Hook Pick'em Game: Season 17 - Week 8

We've got a full slate of action this week, with Saturday's Sky Sports rematch between Kell Brook and Carson Jones topping the bill. The undercard match-up between Derry Mathews and Tommy Coyle is also on the line-up.

Another well matched bout this weekend has Edwin Rodriguez squaring off with Denis Grachev in the final of the Monte-Carlos Million Dollar tournament. The undercard features Khabib Allakhverdiev taking on Souleymane M'baye in a 140lb match-up and a middleweight clash between Max Bursak and Prince Arron.

Also on Saturday, we've got Robert Stieglitz taking on Yuzo Kiyota in Germany, while Friday's action comes from Las Vegas, with Chris Avalos facing Drian Francisco and Glen Tapia going up against Abraham Han in a battle of unbeaten prospects.
