Day 12 has not been Britain's most productive, not a single gold medal | :00:54. | :01:04. | |
:01:04. | :01:07. | ||
won. The inquest begins tomorrow! Ares Merritt was the star as | :01:07. | :01:14. | |
America stormed to gold. Lawrence Clarke claimed a superb 4th place. | :01:14. | :01:19. | |
There was more joy for the USA as Allyson Felix finally got her hand | :01:19. | :01:24. | |
on Olympic gold in the 200 metres after Da Silva in Athens and in | :01:24. | :01:30. | |
Beijing. -- after a silver medal in Athens and in Beijing. Brittney | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
Reese won the long jump. Shara Proctor was a disappointing 9th for | :01:34. | :01:40. | |
Great Britain. Nicola Adams has won a least a silver medal after | :01:40. | :01:45. | |
reaching the final of the flyweight division thanks to a superb win | :01:45. | :01:53. | |
over the Indian five time world champion. And the sailing duo of | :01:53. | :02:00. | |
the Saskia Clarke and Hannah Mills are guaranteed silver than the 470 | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
class and they will battle it out for gold with New Zealand in the | :02:03. | :02:09. | |
medal race. Speaking of medals, not much movement for Great Britain | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
today, but the Americans have made a bit of a charge on China with | :02:13. | :02:22. | |
three gold medals in track and We start with a sport that is | :02:22. | :02:28. | |
assured of adding to the medal tally for Great Britain, and Paddy, | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
who took bronze four years ago in Beijing, was certain of that if he | :02:33. | :02:43. | |
:02:43. | :02:47. | ||
could win his light-flyweight 2008 bronze medallist in this | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
division. 49 kilograms, Paddy Barnes, the Belfast boxer, one of | :02:52. | :02:58. | |
his trademark left hands into the body of his opponent in blue. The | :02:58. | :03:04. | |
Indian, who caused a major upset disposing of the Mongolian silver | :03:04. | :03:10. | |
medallist from four years ago. We don't know if these fast hands will | :03:10. | :03:16. | |
suit Paddy. For if it is important that he keeps the guard high. What | :03:16. | :03:22. | |
he has to watch out for his landing the combinations, breaking away | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
from the combination when he moves away from the man, he has to keep a | :03:25. | :03:34. | |
high guard. He got caught early on. So the Indian has fast hands. It is | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
important about Barnes concentrates on defence just as much as his | :03:38. | :03:45. | |
attack. Paddy getting in underneath the elbow of the Indian, but he has | :03:45. | :03:50. | |
landed one or two good shots. Barnes soaks a lot of those up on | :03:50. | :03:57. | |
the gloves. The referee indicating he should watch his head. Better | :03:57. | :04:06. | |
variation by Barnes now. Barnes was hugely disappointed to have lost in | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
his semi-final four years ago, but he did not get a single point on | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
the computer scoring system. Good work by Barnes, trying to command | :04:15. | :04:24. | |
He will definitely prefer a toe-to- toe battle, Barnes. But the Indian | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
is a better mover than his opponent. But Barnes is very strong in the | :04:29. | :04:35. | |
toe to toe. Barnes has got to try and draw him in. That is where he | :04:35. | :04:41. | |
will have success, the Irishman. His performance against the | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
Mongolian silver medallist was terrific. But that is better by | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
Paddy Barnes. A punishing left hand into the body. Last minute, and | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
Barnes gets him again. If he keeps doing that, that will take the | :04:53. | :05:00. | |
steam out of him. A good left hook to the head. The Indian coming | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
straight back, using his foot speed. Only 20 years of age. That was a | :05:05. | :05:14. | |
bit naughty by Mr Barnes! Plus an admonition from the referee. A | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
solid right from the Indian, and Barnes responds. That was a good, | :05:18. | :05:27. | |
clear shot. I have always been impressed with Paddy Barnes, but | :05:27. | :05:33. | |
I'm also impressed with this little Indian. He works well at a distance. | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
He is just a bit suspect on the inside, gaps appearing. A good left | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
hook from Barnes. He is a good straight puncher, the man in blue. | :05:41. | :05:47. | |
Good movement. Barnes will do well with the left hooks on the inside | :05:47. | :05:53. | |
here. A high-tempo round, but is it a high scoring one? Yes, and it is | :05:53. | :06:03. | |
:06:03. | :06:11. | ||
in favour of Paddy Barnes. He is 7- Very good. Look out for the jabs. | :06:11. | :06:17. | |
Go for the body shots. Barnes is breaking away, and that is what you | :06:17. | :06:23. | |
have to watch out for. He has to keep his guard up high. As he | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
breaks away, he gets caught with a left hook. The Indian very quick | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
with his counters and he waits for the opportunities, as Barnes is | :06:33. | :06:39. | |
moving away. But Barnes, working well, in on the inside. He had the | :06:39. | :06:49. | |
:06:49. | :06:52. | ||
better of the exchanges at close To the giant screen above the | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
Olympic boxing ring says that the man in red, Paddy Barnes, is | :06:55. | :07:05. | |
leading. 7-5 against his 20-year- old opponent. If anybody is going | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
to change style, it will have to be the Indian, because Harry Barnes | :07:09. | :07:15. | |
doesn't know really how to, but it has been good enough to take into | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
the top of the tree in this division for the time being. The | :07:19. | :07:24. | |
Indian corner may have said to let him come to you, but that is not | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
his style. Barnes is strictly a counter-puncher. Good work by | :07:28. | :07:35. | |
Barnes again. Barnes keeps his cool, and he could win this one. Look at | :07:35. | :07:40. | |
the way he pops up, like a little snapping turtle. You see the head | :07:40. | :07:46. | |
and he takes a bite of you. Barnes clipping him again with a good left | :07:46. | :07:53. | |
hook. And again from Barnes. just has to work a bit more on the | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
inside. He's punching well, straight, and starting to catch his | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
opponent. His opponent's feet have slowed down, and that will suit | :08:02. | :08:07. | |
Barnes. He can drag him into a toe- to-toe battle. But he also has to | :08:07. | :08:13. | |
switch the attack and then try to finish with a left hook to the head. | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
Just stay tight on the inside. big cheer from the Indian | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
contingent. And it is a huge Indian contingent, almost matching the | :08:21. | :08:31. | |
:08:31. | :08:32. | ||
Barnes being first to switch to the south for attack. Encouraging his | :08:32. | :08:37. | |
man to come and quicker to the punch. -- southpaw attack. Better | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
from Barnes. Now he comes forward. Does he think he has the measure of | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
his man? He has given him a thumping around the body and the | :08:44. | :08:51. | |
arms. Barnes, holding on the blind side of the wreck. He is going to | :08:51. | :08:57. | |
get a warning. A header but went in. Naughty, naughty, naughty. That | :08:57. | :09:03. | |
will not help him. That is going to help baddy Barnes. He was leading | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
7-5 and he will be winning this round -- that will not help Harry | :09:07. | :09:15. | |
Barnes. -- Paddy Barnes. Keating on the break, making mistakes, but the | :09:15. | :09:21. | |
referee has to watch himself. He has got a bit frustrated, but | :09:21. | :09:26. | |
Barnes is landing with the better quality work. He wasn't at his best | :09:26. | :09:33. | |
in the opening contest. But he has picked up the work rate in the | :09:33. | :09:38. | |
second round. He has got caught with the occasional shot, but that | :09:38. | :09:43. | |
watertight defence of his has stood him in good stead in the contest. | :09:43. | :09:49. | |
So important, and he has managed to draw his man in on the inside. He | :09:49. | :09:54. | |
has imposed his style on the Indian. A good left hook there. Barnes | :09:54. | :09:59. | |
comes back at him and get him underneath the right elbow. A | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
cracking right to follow by Barnes. A better round by the boys in red | :10:03. | :10:13. | |
:10:13. | :10:13. | ||
from Ireland. Well, they will be glad of a breather, and so why! A | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
busy second-round match - and so will I. Barnes landing a left at | :10:17. | :10:24. | |
the end and he is 17-10 up. Paddy Barnes has a seven-point cushion | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
going into the last round to give him at least a second successive | :10:28. | :10:38. | |
:10:38. | :10:39. | ||
Great round from Barnes. This is probably winning the contest. The | :10:39. | :10:44. | |
tempo change, up in the work rate. Cork is a man with left hooks. This | :10:44. | :10:50. | |
is the naughty bits. -- he caught his man with the left hooks. He is | :10:50. | :10:55. | |
frustrated because Barnes is holding, but you cannot do that. | :10:55. | :11:01. | |
Barnes working five or six punches. A great round for Barnes. If she | :11:01. | :11:06. | |
does nothing silly in the last round and stays tight I cannot see | :11:06. | :11:12. | |
the Indian coming back and reducing the deficit. Just has to stay calm | :11:12. | :11:19. | |
and boxed sensibly. Paddy Barnes, in the red, won the first round 7-5. | :11:19. | :11:29. | |
:11:29. | :11:36. | ||
And he leads his opponent from All Barnes has to do is stick to | :11:36. | :11:41. | |
his boxing, because the Indian it will come chasing. Ducking down a | :11:41. | :11:45. | |
bit below the waist level. What he does not need to do is concede a | :11:45. | :11:51. | |
few points for a warning now. Is he tiring of it? Definitely. He put so | :11:51. | :11:59. | |
much into the second round and the upped the tempo. All he has to do | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
is stay tight and not make any mistakes. Nothing is getting | :12:02. | :12:07. | |
through from the Indian. Almost overbalancing with the effort. | :12:07. | :12:12. | |
Barnes gets him with another good left hand. Barnes holding on again. | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
The just try to catch him on the inside with the single shot, keep | :12:16. | :12:26. | |
:12:26. | :12:28. | ||
He's getting more and more frustrated. Barnes getting a | :12:28. | :12:33. | |
telling off again. Barnes getting his man with a good ride. Nicely | :12:33. | :12:40. | |
done. Barnes dropping his head and trying to hand on. He does have a | :12:41. | :12:46. | |
very good right hand, and fast feet, so Barnes just asked to step to the | :12:46. | :12:52. | |
right. Just a simple sidestep -- just has to step to the right. | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
hopes in Indian boxing for him, rated 19 in the world, the youngest | :12:56. | :13:06. | |
:13:06. | :13:12. | ||
member of the boxing squad. And Is Barnes going to get a warning | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
for holding? I don't think it will make a big difference in the grand | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
scheme of things. He was seven points ahead at the start of the | :13:18. | :13:25. | |
round. Barnes can't afford to let anything slip now. I still think | :13:25. | :13:30. | |
he's winning this contest. Barnes up on his toes, encouraging his man | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
to come in. Good defence, that is what he does well. A great right | :13:34. | :13:40. | |
hand going into the body of the Indian boxer. Good food work again | :13:40. | :13:47. | |
by Barnes. Another clever contest from Paddy Barnes. For he has boxed | :13:47. | :13:52. | |
well. He has to start slipping to his left. You know he is going to | :13:52. | :13:57. | |
throw that, maybe throwing it in combination, so as he attacks, | :13:57. | :14:01. | |
slipped to the left or sidestep to the right. But he should not be | :14:01. | :14:07. | |
standing taking the shops, because they do get through occasionally. | :14:07. | :14:11. | |
He was seven points up at the start of the round and conceded two | :14:11. | :14:17. | |
because of the warning. Has he done enough to get six back? A good | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
right from the Indian. Barnes is treading on thin ice. He is | :14:21. | :14:28. | |
beginning to find the target. He wobbled him with a great ride. | :14:28. | :14:32. | |
may just be the insurance policy punch that takes Paddy Barnes | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
through to a second successive Olympic semi-final. Court with a | :14:36. | :14:41. | |
sloppy right. A huge roar from the crowd from the Irish fans. The | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
Indian it is looking the fresher of the two. I wonder if he thinks he | :14:45. | :14:54. | |
has won it. The referee says he has to box. Last six seconds, Barnes | :14:54. | :14:59. | |
coming through. A little left hook to finish. Slicing with the right | :14:59. | :15:03. | |
hand. The Indian boxer things he has won it, but Harry Barnes is | :15:03. | :15:08. | |
very sure that he has won it. And will Irish eyes be shining? Paddy | :15:08. | :15:14. | |
Barnes is very sure. I think he came back in the last round and put | :15:14. | :15:19. | |
three or four more points on the board and is definitely reducing | :15:19. | :15:25. | |
the deficit, but for me, Barnes is the winner. Boxed very sensibly and | :15:25. | :15:35. | |
:15:35. | :15:37. | ||
the change in tempo and tactics has This Indian has got fast hands. He | :15:37. | :15:43. | |
just gets caught on the inside there. Barnes did box sensibly. I | :15:43. | :15:48. | |
think the Indian has actually won the last round, but not by enough | :15:48. | :15:55. | |
points. I think he needs to win it by six, I don't think he has done | :15:55. | :16:02. | |
enough to win it. The chaps in the blue corner, the red corner, I | :16:02. | :16:12. | |
:16:12. | :16:14. | ||
should say, think their man has one The winner, in the red corner, | :16:14. | :16:24. | |
:16:24. | :16:25. | ||
He has become the first Irish boxer to win back-to-back boxing medals, | :16:25. | :16:32. | |
and only the second Irish Olympian to win medals at successive games. | :16:32. | :16:42. | |
:16:42. | :16:43. | ||
The hammer throw a Callaghan did We will see more of this youngster | :16:43. | :16:48. | |
from India. But we are looking forward to seeing more of Paddy | :16:48. | :16:55. | |
Barnes in another Olympic boxing I can see you soaking up every | :16:55. | :16:59. | |
second of this support, you have given the Irish crowd everything to | :16:59. | :17:02. | |
shout about, you are guaranteed another metal, congratulations. | :17:03. | :17:09. | |
Thanks very much, he was very, very tough and strong, but I think I | :17:09. | :17:15. | |
have shown in the end, I would like to thank every Irish supporter it | :17:15. | :17:21. | |
here, it was unbelievable. Your other one for the Olympic | :17:21. | :17:25. | |
experience, but did your room made TV tips about what to do last but? | :17:25. | :17:31. | |
No, I told him to shut up, all the bid was snore all night, I couldn't | :17:31. | :17:37. | |
sleep! You have done exceptionally well. You picked up a bronze medal | :17:37. | :17:42. | |
in Beijing. What experience will you take into the next semi-final? | :17:42. | :17:50. | |
The last time I fought the guy can he beat me 15-0. All I want to do | :17:50. | :17:55. | |
now is call one point against him, that is me! You've got your tactic | :17:55. | :18:04. | |
all sorted out. Good luck in the Give the man a single room! The | :18:05. | :18:09. | |
Irish have done well in the boxing, that is three in the men's boxing | :18:09. | :18:15. | |
and K Keller -- Katie Taylor guaranteed at least a silver. We | :18:15. | :18:22. | |
now have Tom Stalker against Munkh- Erdene Uranchimeg of Mongolia. | :18:22. | :18:32. | |
:18:32. | :18:34. | ||
Before we see that, let's go over to our presenters there. It is warm | :18:34. | :18:40. | |
and toasty here in the Stadium macro, it gets very noisy when the | :18:41. | :18:46. | |
Irish are in the house. It is the British boxers will be focusing on | :18:46. | :18:52. | |
today. Five medals they have bagged in the boxing, they could make it a | :18:52. | :18:56. | |
sick for if team captain Tom Stalker makes his quarter-final | :18:56. | :19:05. | |
cowed against his opponent. We have Amir Khan with us. Tom Stalker, a | :19:05. | :19:10. | |
fine leader and an even better boxer. He is the only one left, he | :19:10. | :19:15. | |
is going to be coming up now, you can see the crowd getting excited. | :19:15. | :19:20. | |
They are ready to see him trying guarantee himself a bronze medal. | :19:20. | :19:28. | |
When you were in Athens, you were the captain, the only fighter there, | :19:28. | :19:32. | |
what will you be feeling like after all this success? He will have a | :19:32. | :19:36. | |
lot of pressure, because he is the team captain, and you hold a lot of | :19:36. | :19:41. | |
pressure on your shoulders when you're the team captain. If he wins, | :19:41. | :19:48. | |
then everyone else has to win, he keeps the spirit going. He is | :19:48. | :19:54. | |
fighting a Mongolian, he is a tough fighter, really big, Tom Stalker | :19:54. | :19:58. | |
looks great, he was training back in my gym in Bolton, he looked in | :19:58. | :20:03. | |
great shape. I think he's going to get through this fight and | :20:03. | :20:06. | |
guarantee himself a medal. This whole crowd is looking forward to | :20:06. | :20:16. | |
:20:16. | :20:21. | ||
it. In terms of the Mongolian, They have just about settled in | :20:21. | :20:29. | |
their seats. They gave Tom Stalker from Liverpool a standing entry. | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
But what a contest he has got against one of the most experienced | :20:32. | :20:39. | |
men in the division. The Mongolian, Munkh-Erdene Uranchimeg, rated No. | :20:39. | :20:47. | |
2 in the world. This is how good this contest is. It is a positive | :20:47. | :20:53. | |
start from Munkh-Erdene Uranchimeg. He is taking it to Tom Stalker. | :20:53. | :21:01. | |
That will suit Tom Stalker. Now and again, the Mongolian drops the left | :21:01. | :21:08. | |
hand. But what a busy start by the 30-year-old, world bronze medallist | :21:08. | :21:18. | |
:21:18. | :21:20. | ||
at in Milan in 2009. Vastly It is the attacking southpaw in | :21:20. | :21:26. | |
blue against the counter-attacking style over Tom Stalker in red. He | :21:26. | :21:32. | |
just needs to quicken up his feet and hands. Only a minute gone, | :21:32. | :21:40. | |
though, mind you. Stalker has got a very good guard. What he has got to | :21:40. | :21:45. | |
do also with the jab is its which that left hand to the body and | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
finish with the right up to the head. That is a combination which | :21:48. | :21:58. | |
:21:58. | :22:03. | ||
Stalker coming back into it a little bit, he had a slowish start. | :22:03. | :22:09. | |
Stalker has to keep that guard up. Munkh-Erdene Uranchimeg, throwing | :22:09. | :22:15. | |
everything at him. Such is the noise, Stalker has got to go back | :22:15. | :22:25. | |
:22:25. | :22:36. | ||
to his corner. They are attacking Back they come again, one minute to | :22:36. | :22:42. | |
go. Stalker, a little bit of a breather. He got caught with a | :22:42. | :22:45. | |
letter from the Mongolian. This is a good round from Munkh-Erdene | :22:45. | :22:55. | |
Uranchimeg, 30 years of age, All the movement coming from the | :22:55. | :23:03. | |
Mongolian. Stalker has got to be faster with the characters. -- | :23:03. | :23:13. | |
:23:13. | :23:13. | ||
Landed with a good shot, but took a good shot. I don't think there is | :23:13. | :23:16. | |
much in this into the last half- minute of the first round. Stalker | :23:16. | :23:23. | |
on his toes now, bouncing a little bed. He had a hard contest against | :23:23. | :23:33. | |
:23:33. | :23:38. | ||
the Indian, Kumar. Kneeling in his Come on, Tom Stalker, you need a | :23:38. | :23:43. | |
punch or two just to win this round. I think it might have gone to the | :23:43. | :23:51. | |
man in blue. It is six apiece. A couple of booze coming around from | :23:51. | :24:01. | |
:24:01. | :24:03. | ||
the Mongolian support. -- Boos. close round. Mongolia -- the | :24:03. | :24:09. | |
Mongolian through a lot of punches. You cannot call that a score, it | :24:09. | :24:16. | |
was too high on the head. That was a scoring shot, it was a good punch. | :24:16. | :24:22. | |
Coming forward here, nothing getting through there. Then Tom | :24:22. | :24:32. | |
:24:32. | :24:38. | ||
Stalker responds with that right Amir Khan, who nearly went all the | :24:38. | :24:48. | |
:24:48. | :24:50. | ||
way in Athens in the lightweight What a racket in south and -- south | :24:50. | :25:00. | |
London here. He has got a good left hand, the Liverpudlian, the self- | :25:00. | :25:03. | |
confessed bad boy. He has turned it all round and he will be a hero if | :25:03. | :25:07. | |
he could win this one, but to do that, he has to beat a very serious | :25:08. | :25:14. | |
contender in Blitz. His third Olympic Games, Munkh-Erdene | :25:14. | :25:20. | |
Uranchimeg from Mongolia. You heard his coach, saying he has to work | :25:20. | :25:26. | |
better with his character, asking for a better reaction from Tom | :25:26. | :25:33. | |
Stalker. -- counter. He has got to double it up with the right hook, | :25:33. | :25:40. | |
may be a double white took to the body and to the head. He has a | :25:40. | :25:46. | |
tendency to let that right hand of his get low. He heard him there | :25:46. | :25:51. | |
with that right hook. He went back a little bit, the Mongolian. Still | :25:51. | :25:56. | |
hasn't recovered. Good punching by Tom Stalker, and another right hand. | :25:56. | :26:03. | |
Now he is landing. He may well have scored. Once he has scored, even if | :26:03. | :26:07. | |
the referee says it is not a legal blow, you cannot take it back on | :26:07. | :26:17. | |
:26:17. | :26:18. | ||
A good short left hand from Tom Stalker. This is a better round | :26:18. | :26:22. | |
from him at, I think the Mongolian has felt a couple of good power | :26:22. | :26:31. | |
shots from him. The timing of the shots from Tom Stalker is crucial. | :26:31. | :26:37. | |
What he is doing now is he is pushing his man onto the back foot. | :26:37. | :26:47. | |
:26:47. | :26:48. | ||
A bit of a change in tactics from A The most important thing is letting | :26:48. | :26:53. | |
his fists to the talking, and he is doing that now as we going to the | :26:53. | :26:57. | |
third and last minute of this second round. Nothing between them | :26:58. | :27:04. | |
at the moment. I have a feeling the British team skipper, with a shot | :27:04. | :27:11. | |
like that, has got that squashed nose of his ahead. I would just | :27:11. | :27:16. | |
like to see a wanted to right hook from Tom Stalker, he has to raise | :27:16. | :27:20. | |
his game, we need a captain's performance in this contest. | :27:20. | :27:24. | |
think Munkh-Erdene Uranchimeg is slowing down a little bit. To use | :27:24. | :27:34. | |
:27:34. | :27:37. | ||
your expression, Tom Stalker is as Stalker, anxious to get on with it, | :27:37. | :27:44. | |
20 seconds to go till the end of the second. Stalker response, that | :27:44. | :27:50. | |
will give Munkh-Erdene Uranchimeg a bit of combatants. But we think | :27:50. | :27:54. | |
that the man in red as one the second round, and should go into | :27:54. | :28:01. | |
the last with a lead. -- has won the second round. And they have | :28:01. | :28:11. | |
:28:11. | :28:17. | ||
You can hear the crowd reaction, not surprisingly. To just got | :28:17. | :28:22. | |
caught there towards the end of the round, Tom Stalker. It caught him | :28:22. | :28:30. | |
around, the last 10 seconds or so. His coach has got such an important | :28:30. | :28:34. | |
job in that corner, he has got to motivate him, getting off the stool, | :28:34. | :28:40. | |
that is his job. Give good instructions. This was excellent | :28:40. | :28:45. | |
but you just got caught with the right hook on the outside. He has | :28:45. | :28:55. | |
:28:55. | :29:01. | ||
got to raise the motivation of the If ever I captain's performance was | :29:01. | :29:05. | |
needed, it will have to come from a man in red, the British team | :29:05. | :29:10. | |
captain, at Tom Stalker. One single point behind the vastly experienced | :29:10. | :29:19. | |
Mongolian in blue. Munkh-Erdene Uranchimeg, leading by a single | :29:19. | :29:27. | |
point at the start of this last Both southpaws, they have cancelled | :29:27. | :29:35. | |
each other out. Stalker has had to work hard, he had to listen to what | :29:35. | :29:41. | |
he heard in the corner. Munkh- Erdene Uranchimeg has one of those | :29:41. | :29:48. | |
granite chippings. He has been told to keep those shut up. How close is | :29:48. | :29:53. | |
this going to be? Stalker cannot afford to take anything by chance. | :29:53. | :30:01. | |
He has to win the last round, find a two actress -- extra points from | :30:01. | :30:05. | |
somewhere. That is better, it is important he keeps the guard up, | :30:05. | :30:12. | |
doesn't make any mistakes. He sitting back a little bed, trying | :30:12. | :30:22. | |

But he counter-punch is with great A good shot, or trapping him around | :30:32. | :30:39. | |
the corner. Easing ahead, making him miss. He is wary and standing | :30:39. | :30:44. | |
of. He is now the man trying to counter. Stalker knows he must try | :30:44. | :30:50. | |
to take him out, and he does. was a lovely shot. He is counter- | :30:50. | :30:57. | |
punching well and catching him. Doubling up the attack, and scoring | :30:58. | :31:07. | |
:31:08. | :31:11. | ||
Everything stalker throws is being cheered to the rafters, but those | :31:11. | :31:19. | |
of good shots from Stalker. I think he has turned this one round. Not | :31:20. | :31:25. | |
much in it. Into the last minute, will be another bronze for Britain | :31:25. | :31:31. | |
in boxing in London, courtesy of the Liverpudlian, Stalker? He is | :31:31. | :31:36. | |
working him hard and I think he has turned it round. The pressure is | :31:36. | :31:42. | |
telling now. The strength of Stalker coming through. The left | :31:42. | :31:51. | |
and right hook, this is what he has to do. Keeping going. Last 30 | :31:52. | :32:01. | |
:32:02. | :32:10. | ||
A good little exchange. Needing some insurance points. What a | :32:10. | :32:15. | |
battle it has been. Two of the oldest man in the division. In his | :32:15. | :32:20. | |
third Olympic Games, 30 years of age, Eisteddfod -- Stalker coming | :32:20. | :32:28. | |
No time for a shot. Stalker, has he done enough? How close will this | :32:28. | :32:36. | |
be? A really close fight. Stalker I think did enough to win the contest | :32:36. | :32:46. | |
:32:46. | :32:46. | ||
in the last round. For me, Stalker did enough to win it. He was a | :32:46. | :32:50. | |
little unfortunate going into the round to have to chase. He did | :32:50. | :32:55. | |
enough work in the last round, a bit scrappy at times, and the | :32:55. | :33:00. | |
better punches were from Stalker. His legs get tangled and he gets | :33:01. | :33:08. | |
caught with the right. Great body work, but then won over the top. So, | :33:08. | :33:18. | |
:33:18. | :33:19. | ||
even Steven all away. -- won over The man on the PA will tell us | :33:19. | :33:23. | |
whether or not the British captain has guaranteed another Olympic | :33:23. | :33:33. | |
:33:33. | :33:38. | ||
Ladies and gentlemen, the winner by a score of 23-22, in the blue | :33:38. | :33:47. | |
corner... No, he has lasted! They gave the last round to Stalker -- | :33:47. | :33:53. | |
he has lost it. But it has gone to the veteran Mongolian in his third | :33:53. | :33:59. | |
Olympic Games, and Thomas Stalker cannot believe it. He is distraught. | :33:59. | :34:03. | |
He is going out of the arena in double quick time. He will be | :34:03. | :34:07. | |
hugely disappointed because he is the British team captain. You have | :34:07. | :34:12. | |
not let anybody down, Thomas. You gave it everything you have. This | :34:12. | :34:15. | |
fellow got the decision and it could have gone either way so | :34:15. | :34:21. | |
easily. The last round was even, and I thought he had won the last | :34:21. | :34:29. | |
and also the second, but 23, 22 has dashed the hopes of Thomas Stalker. | :34:29. | :34:38. | |
I'm not sure he can believe it Such disappointment for Stalker, he | :34:38. | :34:45. | |
did not want to talk any want so no interview. -- talk to anyone. Let's | :34:45. | :34:55. | |
get another view on the decision A very close fight and he put a | :34:55. | :35:01. | |
great performance on. So close, up 23-22. But he did not get the | :35:01. | :35:06. | |
decision, and I'm sure he will come back stronger. I must say, a | :35:06. | :35:14. | |
terrific fight. It is one of those things. Thomas was the captain and | :35:14. | :35:19. | |
it was one of those things where he had a lot of pressure on him. | :35:19. | :35:24. | |
of people have high expectations for Tom but he did not deliver. He | :35:24. | :35:28. | |
will come back stronger. That is boxing. It is how you come back | :35:28. | :35:32. | |
from a fight, and I think he will come back stronger. Regardless of | :35:32. | :35:38. | |
the decision, this is Britain's best boxing performance since | :35:38. | :35:41. | |
Melbourne in 1956 because we are guaranteed at least five medals of | :35:41. | :35:47. | |
some description. That is quite an effort. It is a brilliant effort. | :35:47. | :35:51. | |
To be involved in these Olympics, it's just brilliant to be part of | :35:51. | :35:57. | |
this, working for the BBC. But I've seen some great boxing. Five medals, | :35:57. | :36:03. | |
and to have six fighters in the quarter-finals is huge. It just | :36:03. | :36:08. | |
shows that boxing is getting better and better. Who is the best bet for | :36:08. | :36:13. | |
the gold? I mean, Nicola Adam looks good. She looked a brilliant | :36:13. | :36:17. | |
fighter. I would not want to get into the ring with her. Great food | :36:17. | :36:21. | |
work. She is one of the favourites to win a gold medal -- great | :36:21. | :36:31. | |
footwork. One fighter who was a room-mate with me is Luke Campbell, | :36:31. | :36:36. | |
and I think he has a great chance of winning a gold medal. OK, thank | :36:36. | :36:41. | |
you for joining us. We look forward to speaking to you again soon. That | :36:41. | :36:46. | |
is pretty much the final bell for us on BBC Two. Live sport continues | :36:46. | :36:53. | |
on BBC Three with basketball, USA against Australia. Gabby, welcome. | :36:53. | :37:00. | |
What can we look forward to? I have Denise Lewis, Michael Johnson and | :37:00. | :37:02. | |
Nick Skelton coming in. The individual showjumping and Britain | :37:02. | :37:05. | |
did fantastically well with the team event but it didn't go quite | :37:06. | :37:09. | |
as well for Nick Skelton today but a legend of the sport and so much | :37:09. | :37:14. | |
experience. Having those athletic icons and him on the sofa shows you | :37:14. | :37:18. | |
what the Olympics is about, the veritable mix we have. Some of | :37:18. | :37:22. | |
those show jumpers are even older than me. He told me today he used | :37:22. | :37:26. | |
to go drinking with your dad in Kenilworth when you were a kid, so | :37:26. | :37:29. | |
this is a sport where you can have quite a few campaigns in the | :37:29. | :37:34. | |
Olympics. I was watching, and it looked like Nick would go clear and | :37:34. | :37:37. |
