The Bad Left Hook Pick'em Game: Season 17 - Week 10

We've got a full slate of action for you to close the season, with shows from Showtime, HBO and ESPN2.

Andre Berto takes on tough veteran Jesus Soto Karass in what could be an action packed Showtime headliner. We've also got an over/under for this one, as we do for the show's main supporting bout between Keith Thurman and Diego Chaves. Rounding out the triple-header is a battle of lightweights, with undefeated Omar Figueroa going up against Nihito Arakawa.

Over on HBO, rising star Juan Francisco Estrada takes on Milan Melindo in a battle of top ten flyweights. Also on the card is Evgeny Gradovich, with the Russian featherweight going up against Mauricio Javier Munoz, while undefeated heavyweights Andy Ruiz Jr and Joe Hanks go at it in a 10-rounder.

Rounding out this week's line-up is the FNF main-event between Juan Carlos Burgos and Yakubu Amidu in a 130lb match-up.
