Harrison's Back Against the Wall in Manchester

[ProBox1]

WBO Featherweight Champion Scott Harrison faces a true do or die situation against his most dangerous domestic rival, three time world title challenger Michael Brodie, this Friday at Manchester, England's enormous MEN Arena. The Frank Maloney managed Glasgow man is coming off a sub-par title defense against Colombia's Victor Polo and can ill afford a slip up on what promoters Sports Network are terming "The Battle of Britain".

I would like to see Michael Brodie win. I do think Scott Harrison has been over hyped, and to call him the best Scottish fighter ever, as he has been touted, is ludicrous.

This is a difficult fight to call though. It could be a close one.

Michael has shown difficulties with stamina late on when the fights have been gruelling. And I think this one will be in that vein.

I hope he does it though, I think he deserves a break after he was clearly robbed in his WBC title bid against Willie Jorrin.

You know what pisses me off... People were saying that Scott Harrison is possibly the greatest Scotish fighter ever, because he's the only Scottish fighter who was able to lose and then win back his World title.

Well I'm sorry but that's just B0LL0X!... Ken Buchanan and Jim Watt won titles when titles mean't something! I don't consider Scott Harrison and his WBO belt the REAL featherweight World champion.

Scott would have to unify 1st!...

[Dr O Strich]

Quite so.

With both Ken Buchanan and Jim Watt who are not exactly in the far too distant past I do not think Scott Harrison has yet proven he deserves to be spoken of in the same breath as those two tenacious fighters, who as you say, held titles when they really meant something. And then the glory so clearly meant as much and if not more than the money to those boys.
