Harrison W KO 4
In a mini Hagler-Hearns WBO featherweight champion Scott Harrison and Michael Brodie went toe-to-toe for three and a bit rounds in a whirlwind of excitement. Harrison eventually won courtesy of a body shot, but he didn't have things all his own way and was frequently backed up in the fight. The loss prompted Brodie's retirement, while Harrison proved when it comes to having a war, few do it better
Price: £15
Michael Brodie (born 10 May 1974, Manchester, England). He fought at Featherweight and super-bantamweight.
Brodie boxed as an amateur before turning professional in October 1994, winning his first fight in Manchester, in which Brodie beat Warley Super Bantamweight Graham McGrath with a knockout in the fifth round on a card that included fellow Mancunian's Wahid Fats, Carl Smith and Carl Harney.
Brodie won his first title belt, the vacant British super bantamweight title, in March 1997 with a ten round knockout win over Neil Swain at the Wythenshawe Forum in Manchester. The following year Brodie won the Commonwealth Super Bantamweight Title with a win over Brian Carr and later that year Brodie added the European (EBU) Super Bantamweight Title.
Brodie's first opportunity to fight for a world title belt came in September 2000 after Mexican Erik Morales vacated his WBC Super bantamweight title. However, Brodie suffered the first defeat on his career when Willie Jorrin beat Brodie on points to take the title.
In May 2002, Brodie won the WBF Featherweight Title and added the IBO Featherweight Title in 2003.
Scott Harrison, son of Peter Harrison, former Scottish Lightweight Champion.
Withdrew from a bout with Gairy St. Clair in May of 2006 to enter a rehabilitation centre for alcohol abuse and depression, following two arrests for incidents in Glasgow pubs. He was arrested and detained for five weeks in Spain on assault charges, released on 13th November 2006, and pulled out of his mandatory defence against Nicky Cook scheduled for 9th December 2006, for being too far over the Featherweight limit and vacated his belt.
