The Bad Left Hook Pick’em Game: Season 25 – Week 7

After a dry spell, boxing is back this weekend with some compelling match-ups including, of course, Triple G taking on Martin Murray from Monte Carlo. We also have a rematch between Arthur Abraham and Paul Smith, a ShoBox triple-header, and David Price's all-important fourth comeback fight.

Let's do it!

Check out last week's standings—and your remaining doubles and triples—here.

For those that haven't played before, welcome to the best pick'em game going. Please join right in and start playing (just make sure to check out the rules - we promise they are very simple).

The numbers in your selections are binding, not the names. So, if you make a mistake and say "A. (1) – 1 – Lartey to win" ... your official pick will be Vasquez. Feel free to leave out the names; the numbers will suffice.

An explanation of how to fill out your selections appears at the bottom of this post - please follow these instructions as it makes it easier for us to tabulate the results quickly each week.

**** Remember you do not need to make a selection on every fight. If you are unfamiliar with any of the fighters, and don't want to risk points, you are free to PASS on any pick. You must make at least one selection to receive the 10 point participation bonus****
