The Bad Left Hook Pick'em Game: Season 22 - Week 2

We've got a very busy weekend of pick'em action with several well matched bouts on the line-up.

The much anticipated rematch between Carl Froch and George Groves headlines a good looking show at Wembley.  The undercard has James DeGale squaring off with Brandon Gonzalez and Kevin Mitchell going up against unbeaten Ghislain Maduma.

Over in Macau, the main-event has Nonito Donaire taking on Simpiwe Vetyeka in an intriguing featherweight bout.  The undercard for that show has Nicholas Walters seeking a career best win against Vic Darchinyan and Chis Avalos vs Yasutaka Ishimito in a super-bantamweight match-up.

Another rematch has Felix Sturm and Sam Soliman renewing hostilities and rounding out the line-up is a featherweight clash between Javier Fortuna against Juan Antonio Rodriguez.
