The Bad Left Hook Pick'em Game: Season 18 - Week 7

We've got a full slate of action this weekend, with the Showtime PPV headliner between Floyd Mayweather and Saul Alvarez topping the bill. The main supporting bout between Lucas Matthysse and Danny Garcia is a big one too, and for both fights we've added method of victory and over/under options. From the same show and also on the line-up are junior-middleweights Carlos Molina and Ishe Smith.

There's some Thursday night action as well this week, with a couple of well matched bouts. Shawn Porter takes on Julio Diaz in a rematch of last year's draw, while Badou Jack puts his undefeated record on the line against Marco Antonio Periban in a 168lb clash.

Rounding out the game-sheet is a match-up of undefeated super-bantams with Kid Galahad and James Dickens doing battle for the British title.
