    I've seen Swain, Chin 1 and Alexander, but nothing more. He's really exciting and I like him but I wanna watch more, I just don't know what.

    What are his best fights? Thanks.

    Brodie v Harrison was a good fight and cracking atmosphere.

    The Chi fights were great and I still remember The Real McCoy totally deflating the man and his career with a cracking body shot.

    Swain and Chin are the standouts, but Brodie brought action whenever he fought.

    Maurin and Devakov were both gruelling affairs if you can find them.

    I was there as a 16 year old at bowlers Manchester when he was robbed against Willy Jorrin for the WBC Belt decent scrap. For me Brodie has to be most unluckiest British fighter never to win a world title a draw and a robbery to deny him that title !

    Yep Harrison was just too big and powerful..Brodie was doing well despite being a bit past his best.

    Brodie certainly won that fight and ripped off big time - sad that he never crossed the line giving the cracking fights he was in.

    Harrison was a great fighter and could have been one of the UK's greatest ever if he was not an alcoholic.

    Not a fight, but I remember Brodie had an older guy called Jack Trickett who absolutely loved him. I don't think he ever took anything from Brodie's purses, and was protective of him big time when it came to matchmaking Micheal.

    Jack Trickett was an old school gangster from Stockport ! You would not wanna mess with him very respected man in the Manchester areas!! Not to sure if they fell out in the end I’m sure I remember they did but can’t remember the exact details.
