One week to go in Season 21. The title is all but wrapped up, but the race for second is a good one. Plus there are plenty of Player of the Year points up for grabs. So get your picks in.
Topping the bill is an HBO double-header, with Juan Manuel Marquez taking on Mike Alvarado in the main-event. We've got an Over/Under for this one too. The undercard has Viktor Postol going up against Selcuk Aydin in a 140lb match-up.
Also on Saturday, Sky Sports has a rematch between Gary Buckland and Gavin Rees in in the main-event. Buckland won a closely contested split decision back in February. The card also features the return of Nathan Cleverly, now competing in the cruiserweight division.
We've also got some Friday action, with shows on ESPN2 and Showtime. Don't delay in getting your selections in for those fights. Good luck and remember, a new season starts next week!
