browdie wins comeback fight
Re: browdie wins comeback fight
Thought Brodie started out too slow, realised after being dropped for the first time that he had to drop the other guy before he was dropped again.
Think it was a good job when he got dropped the second time that he was in the corner near his family and friends who were screaming at him to get up. His legs even went in the 4th but his combinations were better than the other guys.
Andy Morris looked good, Craig Watson didn't pick up the pace until the last 2 rounds, Saunders must be good if he put Scriven out in 2.
The atmosphere was electric for the Brodie fight, not too clever for the other fights.
I'm from manchester, but still disappointed to hear the fans only sing the one song - replacing Hatton with the name of whoever was fighting.
Can see the Velodrome being a good venue when packed to the rafters, hopefully the lights don't fail during a fight next time.
Word for Joe Murray who looks promising.

Brodie and Co in glory night
August 21, 2009
MICHAEL Brodie made a stunning comeback with a fourth-round win against Mark Alexander.
The former IBO and WBF, Commonwealth and European champion twice picked himself off the canvas to win in thrilling fashion at Manchester’s Velodrome.
Brodie had been out of the ring for four years, and it looked like being a miserable return as Alexander shook the 35-year-old in the first three rounds.
But Brodie reminded everyone of his glory days with an incredible comeback.
The crowd were silenced in the first round when Brodie was sent to the canvas by a powerful body blow.
He survived the count but was visibly shaken.
Alexander split his eye no sooner than the second had started, sparking all-out brawl.
Brodie was fighting on instinct, coming back with crashing combinations to end the second and start the third on a high.
But he was down again midway through the third – again as a result of a body shot.
Brodie picked himself up again sending Alexander to the deck in the next round. Alexander got up once but was soon on the ropes again before the referee stopped the fight.
Former Commonwealth welterweight champion Craig Watson has set his sights on a rematch with John O’Donnell after making a successful comeback.
Watson hasn’t fought since contentiously losing title in April, but was a comprehensive points winner against Matt Scriven.
And he immediately declared his intention to get back in the ring with O’Donnell, who was a winner by split decision when they last met, though many believe Watson should have retained his belt. “I’m looking for a rematch,” said Watson. “I believe I got ripped off in that fight.
“I’m in championship contention now because he didn’t beat me.
“I'm still champion and I’ll be back better than ever.”
Watson was always in charge against journeyman Scriven, without ever looking to apply a knockout blow.
“It wad good to get back to business,” he said. “I’ve been working on my skills. I didn’t want to knock him out.
“I wanted to work on my boxing. I haven’t been as active as I’d like lately so it was good to get six rounds out of the way.”
Andy Morris blew Jesus Garcia Simon away in stunning fashion, knocking the Spaniard out in the first round.
Former British featherweight champion Morris, from Wythenshawe, already had Simon on the floor before the referee called an end to the fight.
“I couldn’t seem to miss him,” he said. “Every time I threw a punch he seemed to out his head in the way.”
Olympian Joe Murray continued his impressive first steps as a professional with a points win against Steve Gethin.
Murray stretched his unbeaten run to three fights with a resounding win at the Velodrome on a billing of manchester fighers put together by Ricky Hatton working as a promoter.
Much is expected of the former World Amateur bronze medalist, who has been strongly tipped to be a future lightweight king.
He will face sterner tests than Gethin in the months and years to come, but that took nothing away from an impressive performance from the 22-year-old.
“I’m glad to keep getting rounds out of the way,” said Murray. “When it comes to the bigger fights I will be well schooled and better prepared than these guys who are knocking people out in the first round.”
Murray rocked Gethin right from the start with a big right that set the tone for the fight.
His combinations were always too fast for his opponent as he controlled the bout from then on to take the victory in impressive style.
Welterweight prospect Kieran Maher survived a light failure to overcome the experienced but strangely subdued Jason Nesbitt.
The 18-year-old from Hattersley saw his impressive start halted when the lights went at the Velodrome midway through the third round.
It appeared to suit his opponent who caught a second wind to land a couple of heavy blows, which Maher did well to withstand – eventually winning on points.

Re: browdie wins comeback fight
i was there aswel last night, and i agree that the velodromee would be a crackin venue when it is packed, the atmosphere was good last night.
The early fights were good, but they all looked comfortable. Craig watson, who hasnt fought in a while looked good.
dont know why ricky was wearin a pink tutu but ohwell.
September 25th should be a really good night.

Re: browdie wins comeback fight
Seems pretty conclusive that Brodie's comeback should be abandoned before it starts in earnest. He should be remembered for all the right reasons rather than tarnishing his legacy like this.

Re: browdie wins comeback fight
looks like mike's punch resistance has gone..this guy he fought was a non-puncher aswell..i agree joe murray looks good but he is 3-0 with no ko's..but maybe his power will come in time like nathan cleverley's didb0ndl1ne wrote:Thought Brodie started out too slow, realised after being dropped for the first time that he had to drop the other guy before he was dropped again.

Re: browdie wins comeback fight
Nice to see Brodie winning but I really don't want to see him KO'd by a fringe domestic operator. But he should give it one more go in my opinion. I'm behind him 100%.

Re: browdie wins comeback fight
Thanks for the link Kingmo,cracking little fight.I also think Brodie should retire,it sadden me last night to see Brodie take those shots,back in his day,he would taken those shots with ease.Mark Alexandra was never a puncher,even back to his days at the Islington Boys Club and if his shots effected Brodie then what chance as Brodie got now ?kingmo wrote:You can watch the full fight at:
