BBC Three: Day 5: 19:00-22:00 Commonwealth Games

going to show you this evening, but look at this, two members of Wet Wet

Wet. This is the keyboard player's son. He will be a good sportsman.

Are we struggling with the microphones? Marti Pellow, you are

playing in front of a few hundred fans, we have had 18,000 ticket

requests for Wet Wet Wet, slightly limited in terms of numbers. What is

it like to play in front of a home crowd? Always special, we drop on

the banks of the River Clyde, we are looking forward to singing some of

the songs that people remember with great passion. Tommy, the fans don't

get to see you very often, only three tours in the last 15 years? We

got asked how many tours we have done, I think it is something like

that, difficult to come together, people are doing different projects,

it is always something unique when we take to the stage. In the 1980s

and 1990s, we touched a lot of people with our songs, we feel

privileged to be able to do it for the 3000 years! It feels like that!

How proud have you been up the way the Commonwealth Games has gone

down, the way the city has shined in beautiful weather? Absolutely, I was

walking through the city, such a wonderful atmosphere. Especially

from the point of view, seeing all the rugby players, the whole place

was buzzing, I loved it. The highlight for me was the opening

ceremony, watching the opening of big aims, as the events started. The

real focus is on the sportsman. We feel privileged to be on the stage,

we are just the entertainment, the real focus is on all the nations

coming together, the kids working their hardest working for 5-10

years, one gig to get it right. Glasgow has never shone like this.

It has been absolutely fantastic, I told a member of my family I was

interviewing you, she said I had to ask you about Eve -- Evita? Yes I'm

starting in November, Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's production,

wonderful for me. What will you be doing tonight? Doing all the hits,

lucky to do a tour at the end of last year, making us get our diaries

together to get back on the road. We are touring at the moment, we have

rehearsed, ready to rock. This is around 500 people, really intimate

gig. We usually play to 30,000 people, this is 400. This is your

only Scottish gig this year? We have a few more racecourses throughout

the country we have been playing, you can see us on our new DVD!

Available now! We filmed it just crossed... Have you been primed to

promote it? Disgraceful. We performed it at the brand-new venue,

our first time playing their across the river. The Hydro. Hopefully we

can capture some of that energy. I do think we heard from Little

Hayes, what is your highlight? What have you enjoyed about the

Commonwealth Games? The diving! It wants to see Tom Daley. An absolute

privilege to talk to you. A bit more smiling? Lets give them a round of

applause. Wet Wet Wet, who will be performing later on. Apparently you

are only highlights show. Let us tell you what we have coming up on

BBC Three for you. As promised, the DVD was filmed in

the Hydro, we will be there for the women's team gymnastics. Plenty of

home nation interest in the boxing, Stephen Donnelly and Anthony Fowler

returned to the ring. We will speak to as many of England's Squash

medallist as we can. -- return. We will take a trip to the lawn bowls,

to see how Northern Ireland got on in their attempt to win their first

gold of the games. Look at that, Gary Lineker, looking lovely! He is

on BBC1 at the moment. He has swimming and athletics on BBC1. If

you want to interrupter the athletics, hit the red button. If

you would like to watch the swimming, you can also go to the red

button. -- to interrupter the athletics. Get yourself over to the

red button, go to the websites, you can watch one of 15 streams. You can

follow absolute and delivering -- absolutely everything. I'm sure in a

few minutes time you can re-watch that interview. Absolutely

everything when it comes to delivering the Commonwealth Games.

Are you on Twitter? You are. In terms of social media, anything you

would like to say to us regarding coverage, questions, comments,

complaints - we get a few of those! Get in touch. We'll be testing out

some of the people who came to see Wet Wet Wet on how many of the 71

Commonwealth territories they can name. As promised, we will take you

to the gymnastics, let's head to the Hydro, the team event. All of the

athletes from every single nation competing in all of the single

apparatus. Nations can have teams between 3-5 gymnasts, the best three

scores count. Let's show you the very best in the afternoon's action.

She has had this recurring ankle injury, interesting to see how she

gets on. She has been a great gymnasts Paul Wales over the years.

Lovely, smooth into the front somersault, court well. Down to the

low bars, this is a big element for her. Half turn. Very difficult.

Performing it very well, swinging well into the double pike dismount.

That was a great routine. The Welsh gymnast looking very impressive. She

scores 13.5 .3 free. -- 13.5.33. She is the Welsh champion, that was

a very difficult element. Lovely swing, the hands on the bars.

Straight down, very smooth, full pirouette. Up to the high bar. Good

clear circle to hands. Securely through, just has the dismount.

Winding up strongly. Art into the air, fold twist, little buckle of

the knees. The Welsh girls have gone well. They are pushing hard. 13.3.

Congratulations from the other girls. Georgina, we will ask your

thoughts about her in a moment, she is your gymnast. Very nicely done.

She is a very hard-working little gymnast. I caught Georgina -- I

coach Georgina, along with Brett Ince, she has prepared very well.

Very delighted with that strong bolt. Chris Dean is taking notes to

work on. -- Christine. Kyra Roberts from Northern Ireland, she was born

in Australia. That was a lovely high, straight position. Certainly

one of the best landings we have seen. It was not so difficult but

she held her shape beautifully. OK, let's move to the bars. Kirsten

Beckett. 18 years old. Nicely done, the hands bound in the transfer. --

handstand. That was nicely done. handstand. That was nicely done.

This is going well, clean in the handstand elements. Very good in the

half term. -- half turn. That was good to finish. South Africa are

going well, 12.966. The next gymnast to go for South Africa, you will

remember her from the World Championships, she is now 19 years

old. That was a well flighted flip on, and the straight body shape was

held well. She got enough height to add in a twist or two. Just one

today. Her individual bid as well as the team title. The next up on the

uneven bars is Sarah Beck of Northern Ireland. She is 17. Salto

gym club. She started back in the day, aged four. Half turn. She is

swinging well. She catches in a handstand. Clean again into the

handstand and a good transfer. Keeping the swing. Full turn. She

lost a bit of pace there. Just the straight semi. To complete the

routine. Congratulations. She had a wonderful time out there. So, the

team standings after two rotations, halfway round the competition.

STUDIO: We had a proper sprint while you were watching the gymnastics, we

are searching for Beth Tweddle and we are going down towards the BBC1

studio. She is in here somewhere. We will find her shortly. While we get

ready to talk about the afternoon gymnastics and talk about what else

we will see on BBC Three over the coming hours, let show you an

interview earlier. We saw Paddy Barnes in the ring, just before

seven o'clock, he is now into the quarterfinals and after his match he

spoke to us. How was that? It was great. I can only improve from here.

Everyone else has been fighting and you had to wait to get in, have you

been raring to go? That was my first fight and others have had two

fights. I think my performance tonight showed how good I was. When

you are so much in control of a fight, are you able to conserve

energy, because there is always a risk of one punch and that's it, so

you have to keep going? I always have a high work rate. I had to make

the weight. How are you finding that? It is tough, but I have been

the same weight since I was extreme. Some people say they make it easily

but they are telling lies. Some people are just getting by on water,

but how much food can you consume? It is nothing for me. Well done

tonight. Paddy Barnes with John in a dale earlier. We have tracked down

Beth Tweddle. She was just inside the green room. She is here to talk

about some of the gymnastics we have already watched. A treble world

champion. Great Britain 's best ever gymnast, that is a nice headline?

You are now retired, so what is it like to work at a major tournament

but not on the parallel bars and things? It is very different, I did

not know how I would feel but I have been watching the gymnastics and

when I watch I knowhow much hard work they put in so I am glad I made

the decision to retire. Reddish gymnasts recently have been superb

so I have left it in a healthy state. -- British. Plenty more still

to come, what have you made of the quality so far in the team event?

The quality has been superb. With the British team on the men's side,

they have been split into, half with Scotland and half with England said

there is a lot of rivalry. England are leading by six and a half marks

but the final that everyone will talk about is the pommel horse,

Lewis, Max and Daniel Keatings in the final so that will be hotly

contested. You touched on a few moments ago how gymnastics has

changed and there is always the expectation of quality and medals at

the end. It is a huge difference to when you first came in? It is

massively different, we used to try for personal bests, we did not

expect to get medals. Now we not only expect finals, we expect to win

medals. Whether it is on Commonwealth or world level. We have

been talking a lot about getting inspired and I have a seven-year-old

daughter who is obsessed with gymnastics and she will watch it for

three and a half hours. It is great for to be televised because I'd

generation are watching these talented athletes from around the

world and hopefully they will go out and get involved themselves? -- a

whole generation. When I was younger you did not have British role models

come at you had to look to the Eastern bloc, but now you can see

British athletes on TV and say, you know what, I want to have a go, take

a friend along, find your local club. The main thing is for the kids

to enjoy it. In terms of what we can expect over the next few days, pick

a few things to look out for. This evening we have the English,

Australian and Canadian women starting the qualification.

Qualification is different now because it is over two days and the

team final will conclude tomorrow and we will find out who is top of

the rankings. There are so many names it is hard to pick out. I have

to put you on the spot. Max Whitlock will take our medals, Daniel

Keatings, Lewis, Downing, Williams, there is so many, I cannot just pick

out one name. In terms of people watching and thinking, OK, where do

I go to get involved? What advice would you give to parents or

children who are old enough to sort themselves out, how can they get

involved? The British gymnastics website has a link called find a

club coming you can find a region in the country and it will name all of

the clubs in that area and whether they do trampolining, artistic,

rhythmic, there is lots of different aspects. If you do not like what you

see tonight, maybe you enjoyed Frankie Jones in the rhythmic, all

fancy trampolining. -- are you fancy. Are you now allowed to eat

whatever you want? Lots of people have asked what the best thing is

about not competing and it is great that you can go to bed without

butterflies and eat what you want. Since you have been in Glasgow, have

you had a Glaswegian curry? I have not but I have had a Chinese. Beth

Tweddle, right, I asked for some recommendations for a Glaswegian Rex

Grant, and she gave me five curry recommendations. -- restaurant. I

asked her for one that was not a curry restaurant and she looked at

me as if to say, what are you talking about? Glasgow is the curry

capital. We are a nation of curry lovers. It is basically the national

dish. It is the best. You cannot beat it. Glasgow is a curry loving

City. It has won the title of British curry capital and impressive

four times. We come for a curry every couple of weeks. At least

twice a week. That is even more than me! There is no question that

Glasgow is a City infused with spice and flavour of curry, thanks to the

diverse community rooted in the Commonwealth. Indian immigrants

settled in Scotland as early as the 1920s but it was a partition of

India in 1947 which sparked the immigration explosion. Confronted

with political upheaval and rising unemployment many Indians and

Pakistanis looked the security elsewhere in the Commonwealth. By

1970, there were 16,000 Asians living in Scotland. And the majority

were living in Glasgow. What was it like when you came over in the

1960s? In 1962, it was completely different for me. Here there were

tall buildings, dark buildings, dark streets. It was very cold. In the

winter there was a lot of snow. The winter there was a lot of snow. Me

and my father opened a small restaurant with five tables. My

mother and father worked in the kitchen. It was more like home

cooking. Most of the clientele came from the University, Indian and

Pakistani students. We attracted Scottish people also cover Scottish

tunes. They came and acquired the taste. -- Scottish students.

tunes. They came and acquired the day was better than the last. Over

the decades Glasgow 's Asian community has changed the City. It

used to be that there was lots of light curries but now they have more

spices, they are aware of differences in the cooking. Today

the authentic flavours of India and Pakistan are second nature to

Glaswegians. There is more flavour in a Glasgow curry. Glasgow and

curry go together. It is hotter and sharper. It is a taste of Glasgow,

the taste of home. Curry culture is at the heart of the City, it has

fused cuisines from across the Commonwealth and now Scotland serves

it back to the world. There you go. I hope Beth Tweddle and the rest of

you have watched that and know that there are all manner of curry houses

that will look after you. They have been spectacular, I cannot mention

them, lots of curry houses are available. Just to let you know

where you can watch the Sport Tonight, have a look at the red

button comes you can watch uninterrupted swinging. We have

mentioned athletics a few times, the 100 metres finals is tonight and you

can see that uninterrupted on the red button. Have a look on BBC1. The

BBC studio is above us, I am not sure if you can see it at the

moment. There are a number of guests. We have the gymnastics here

on BBC Three, we have just heard from Beth Tweddle. We have coverage

of the women's team event and you can watch that on the BBC sport

website uninterrupted. If you would like to join in via social media,

you can. I had a post-interview chat with Marti Pellow and he says if it

is not teacakes, he does not want to hear about it. Tell us what you are

nibbling on! We will do that at 9:15pm. Let's have a chat with these

lovely ladies. Are you Scottish? We are from Northamptonshire. I have

come to see my sister and the Commonwealth Games. What sport have

you seen? We have seen the badminton. Did you see England

against Malaysian? We saw India and Singapore. What has been your

favourite part of the games? The atmosphere, really good, really

friendly. Has it been what you expected? We come to Glasgow quite a

lot, but the city has been completely different, really lovely.

A buzz around the place? The Hammers. Are you seeing anything

else? Tomorrow we're going to the swimming, Wednesday wrestling. --

there has. Wrestling something you have seen before, or just came out

of the pot? Not something we have seen before. What sports do you tend

to play. I am a gymnast, I have been doing it for a long time, I do pole

vault as well. Horse riding in high jump. We need some equestrian in the

Commonwealth Games in the future, you are there. Have a great time in

a safe trip home. We have plenty of boxing tonight. We will take you to

the SECC, just over there. We have Joe Ham on the way, the Scottish

champion, I think he may well have his blue Mohican. Let's join our

commentary team. gentlemen, we moved to the

bantamweight division in the final 16. -- ladies and gentlemen.

Introducing, in the red corner, representing Pakistan Matt -- Nadir

Nadir. Representing Scotland, Joe Ham. The referee, in charge, from

Argentina. A terrific reception, as you would

expect in the SECC for the Scottish representative, Joe Ham, competing

in a second Commonwealth Games. Nadir Nadir, two years older than

Joe The Miz competed in Delhi. -- he competed in Delhi. He has gathered

experience all the time, training in Glasgow. Trained by his dad, Joe

senior. Joe Ham in blue, his opponents, Nadir Nadir in red. He

does have good head movement, his opponent has fast hands. He has to

move his head, slipping to the left, he has to get closer to his

opponent. The upright stance. Wonderful response, my words, that

was quick. And again. Good defence. That will have worried Nadir Nadir.

He has to keep his right-hand nice and high. You watch Joe Ham, he will

finish with the left hook. Has to get close. Better by Joe Ham,

everything is cheered to the rafters in Glasgow. Getting his right in

very nicely. Head and body by Nadir. The jab will also be very important.

He can move into range. Nice work by Joe Ham, there is that left hook.

May just think about going downstairs. His opponent's right is

held quite high. Just got caught with a shot, that is where the head

movement is important. Creating a hard to hit target. A good round for

Joe Ham. I think he has won that one. Not sure about the head style,

but pretty sure about the boxing. There is the left hook, tremendous

shock. Has to keep his head moving, needs to use the jab a bit more.

This is not an easy contest. Nadir closing the gap down, getting

caught. There was the shot from Nadir, not bad. Everyone has given

it to the Scotsman by a single point.

The man in blue, Joe Ham, losing in the World Championships in

Kazakhstan to the outstanding Ukrainian who won the bronze medal.

He has outworked his opponent in the first round, Nadir will know he

He has outworked his opponent in the banned. That is good defence, lovely

switch from head to body. I think that her Nadir, he went backwards.

Starting to me pretty well though, he has fast hands. -- starting to

move pretty well. The Argentinian referee has a little

word with Joe Ham about the use of the head. Nadir battling back quite

nicely. Throwing some good shots in. On a couple of occasions, a couple

of chances to throw the left hook, when Nadir is throwing his right

hand. A1, two, left hook combination. -- a one, two. He has

his man where he once in, Joe Ham. Cutting him off. Wonderful

variation. Got in with a good right hand. The crowd really appreciating

this. Nadir really hurts. He grimaced. It is still there for

Ham, if he presses his case. The first round was pretty good from Joe

Ham, this is better. A punishing first round was pretty good from Joe

left into the ribs. That is a painful thing. That lasts a while.

Joe Ham coming forward. Nadir under pressure like never before. Those

body shots slow the opponent's feet down, becoming static. Slipping the

right hand over the top. Good footwork by Joe Ham, keeping himself

out of harms way. Impressive by Ham. We tend to forget that Nadir

boxed well in the first minute and a half. The second half Joe Ham was in

control. It started off very well, Nadir, good shots through the

middle, fast, crisp hands. Now Joe Ham gets to work, a big right hand,

that her Nadir. That's macro that hurts -- that hurt Nadir.

A good division this. Sean McGoldrick from Wales, the defending

champion. Joe Ham has had to wait until date -- day four. To show his

potential as a gold medallist. Nadir from Pakistan, a resident in

Karachi. Clever little round the corner right hand. Just easing his

way past the left of Nadir. He is loving this. The crowd are loving

this, too. Boxing very well. Nadir's problem, his hands are fast,

but his feet are very slow, too static. Using their jab, moving into

range. Good jab. Uses that right-hand very sparingly, but when

he does, very positive. He had to cover up there. Nadir coming back at

him. Again, good body shot from Joe Ham. Nadir over the top, his feet

slowing down. Not so many punches from the man in red. That is a good

jab. Nice combination there. No power in the shots from Nadir.

The final minute of the final round. When the final bell goes, the hand

will be raised from the man in blue, the Scotsman, Joe Ham, in charge all

the way through. Taken the odd shot, it has not bothered him, never

looking under serious pressure. He is boxing well, showing good

variation, he is just practising here. He is experimenting with

different shots. The right uppercut is coming into play. Nadir has

recovered from a couple of hard body shots in the second and he is

certainly doing his best. Around ten seconds remaining. He is working the

body again. And then switching to the head. Left hook to the body.

Right hand to the head. He has boxed splendidly throughout. Well done,

Joe Ham. He boxed well, didn't he? Against a potentially tricky

opponent with fast hands but he eventually closes the gap. He landed

some terrific left hooks and he worked his body. He put his right

hand over the top into play. And in the last round he was very good

indeed, switching his attack to the body and finishing with a right

hand. A little bit on the inside, a left hook and then a right hand to

finish. He does very well indeed. Ladies and gentlemen, before we

declare the result, I am sure you will agree that all of the boxers

deserve a round of applause. APPLAUSE

By way of a unanimous decision and through to the quarterfinal, Joe

Ham! CHEERING Well, the roof has almost come off

in Glasgow. Joe Ham has been well supported by this great City and

today he has been a very impressive fighter.

Another impressive performance from Joe Ham, as we mentioned he is the

only Glaswegian in the Scottish wild. He came in with his arms

raised, the crowd expected victory and that is what he has done,

getting through to the quarterfinals. Just a reminder that

the boxing continues at the SECC, and the medals will be handed out on

Saturday. We'll Joe Ham get one of those? You are the happiest man in

Glasgow at the moment? I am happy to do this in Glasgow, and it is nice

to cease any people supporting me. It is unbelievable. I have been

trading for years to get the chance to box tomorrow. In my hometown. It

is seconds anon. You will finally get the chance, after days of

sitting around, have you been desperate to get in? It is

unbelievable, once we heard the reception, it was unbelievable, so

to get my chance... I knew that I would get a good reception and that

is the loudest it has been. I hope the crowd continued to follow me. I

am ready for anything. the crowd continued to follow me. I

crowd you know personally? Easily 80%! This is unbelievable. The

support is incredible. Nobody else at the common wealth games will get

a reception like that. Onto the next one. Congratulations. That was a

good performance. Do you get the feeling he enjoyed that? ! That was

Joe Ham of Glasgow talking about how he was lifted by the crowd and he

cannot wait for the quarterfinal. Another home nation boxer will now

try to join him in the last eight of the men's bantamweight. This man was

inspired to get into boxing by the Olympics excess of Amir Khan in

2004. -- Olympic success. Can he join Joe Ham in the quarterfinals?

Let's go back to the commentators at the SECC. COMMENTATOR: This is the

bantamweight division. The judges are from Brazil, Turkey, Sri Lanka,

Kazakhstan and Poland. The referee is the vastly experienced Russian

Denis Povov. He is 23 years old, this is his second Commonwealth

Games. He boxes out of Delhi. A big cheer and plenty of support here in

Glasgow for the boy from Leeds. Dennis Popov of Russia brings them

together. There is a definite height advantage that the British boxer.

This is the top half of the draw. The southpaw from Leeds just comes

forward. A gold-medal twice in the prestigious tournaments in Finland.

One of those finals, he defeated one of the Scots Joe Ham. He may have

his hands full with Thamahane from Lesotho. He had a contest at at 52

kilograms in Delhi, and he looks more comfortable in the bantamweight

division. Ritchie, you have watched him with the GB squad in recent

times? What are your thoughts? I worked with him. Many times. He has

lots of skills, he is a natural switch hitter, he is boxing switch

southpaw but he is still developing. There is no question about his

counterpunching ability, it is very good indeed. He maintains the gap on

the retreat. In this situation, he is boxing as an orthodox boxer now.

He has lots of skills. Thamahane is a bit of a handful. Especially in

close, he does tie up being less man when he steps in. The referee has to

be careful. He has to keep this man away from him. A good right hand

from the man from Lesotho. What a racket at the Scottish exhibition

conference centre, and the banks of the Clyde. He has to concentrate on

the mid and long range. He is pushing his opponent back. Some

prefer that style of boxing with lots of aggression. Keeping the

judges happy, pushing him back now and again. He looks so much bigger.

Coming forward in pretty straight lines. A bit on the messy side.

Dennis Popoff will have his hands full. If it continues like this.

Lovely left hand, that was a well timed punch. You have two watch your

head, both of the boxers. -- have to watch. We have always had a lot of

contests being stopped because of cuts. That was skilful, there.

Landing shots and then turning. It is all about timing here, waiting

for him to come, hitting him and then moving again. The referee

should do something about that. That was deliberate, I am not saying it

was, but it was certainly careful -- it was certainly callous. That was

the end of the first round. It was nonstop action. Not altogether tidy

but I think being Leishman has done enough to win. -- the Englishman. I

felt he landed the better shots. Let's have a look at some of the

action. The referee has got to do something about their heads.

Thamahane Getting his head in. He just hesitated there. He brings him

onto the shot, looping round. That was a lovely move. Let's have a look

at it again. His head is almost clashed. One of the judges has given

it to Thamahane and the over to Ashraq. Six minutes still to go. --

the other. That was a lovely shot. He is moving nicely. The corner will

be selling him not to get involved. -- telling him. He is a machine. You

just had to move off to the side and then come back again. Bring him onto

the right hook like you have been doing. Keep your cool. Keep your

focus and concentrate. That is nice boxing, stopping his man with a

stiff right hand. This is good boxing now from Ashfaq. I do not

think Thamahane will be doing anything else except steaming

forward. You have to get your timing right in this situation, bring him

onto the shots and move on again. Stay off the ropes at all costs.

That was lovely. He'd heed him up with the right and hit him with the

left. Ashfaq. He has settled down a bit. Look at how he adjusts his

feet, Ashfaq. He is a skilful man. Medium to long range is his

strength. Four days since the draw was made. It is difficult to

concentrate. Thinking about making the weight every morning. He has

waited so long to get the contest under his belt. Again, good

movement, hitting and moving, from Ashfaq. He slipped away from his man

nicely in the neutral corner. He will be happy to hang on for a

second. If the movement slows down from Thamahane that will suit

Ashfaq. He has two watch his head on the inside. If you hold your feet he

will bring him into it. There is the head. Ashfaq Looks towards his

corner. I think he has got this one. He has boxed better in the second

round. He has boxed well at distance. He adjusted his feet and

brought him onto shots. I think he has done well here. The left hand

caught his man as he came in. Thamahane was expecting a different

punch entirely. Ten seconds to go. He has kept out of trouble all the

way throughout that round. He had a better second round than the first.

I'm impressed. He controlled the rhythm of the round much better. His

corner will be pleased. He brings him onto the shots. It is important

that Ashfaq just keeps off the ropes. Good judgement at distance.

He is on the retreat. Boxing as he is going. That is a skill in itself.

There is no doubt about that. You realise just how good Ashfaq has

been. Thamahane Has been given the second. A predictable response now

for the man in red, he will come charging. He was on the slow side to

get out of the ring. Back they come. Two rounds, pretty successfully

negotiated by the English bantamweight. The 21-year-old from

Leeds. Thamahane We'll come steaming forward. He has absolutely nothing

to lose. He knows he has to stop Ashfaq from comprehensively

outscoring him. Moved off to the side for top the heads were clashing

again. Got to keep those hands up. Lovely shot. Slow the guy down. They

do work it out. There is the clash of heads again. Is he cuts? No, he

not. -- is he cut, no, he is not. So important to boxed clever, box from

distance, get your timing right. Do not let him close the gap. Lovely.

Lovely, lovely, lovely. That is what his corner was telling him to do, he

has done just that. his corner was telling him to do, he

He is flailing around now. It is all about counterattacking, then

springing the attack. Then getting on your bike again. He shoves his

man. Less than half a minute to negotiate. He is only

man. Less than half a minute to away from a Commonwealth medal. He

has been gaining all the way through. The skill and the accurate

punching have come from the man in blue. He has won this. He goes over

to his opponent, saying thank you very much. Nice punch of the gloves.

A bruiser, having waited Forde -- four days. His opponent kept coming.

The tactics were very good. The movement was the key, the

counterattack, stepping into counter. In these situations you

cannot panic, concentrating, total focus in your own ability.

Confirmation of the victory. He will be happy, happy English supporters

as well. All three judges going for the English bantamweight.

He goes through is to the quarterfinal, he will face Joe Ham.

We had a fascinating interview with him. We should get an interview with

him shortly. That cannot have been the easiest contest, him running at

you from start to finish? We did not know anything about the kids, we

were prepared for anything, he was a strong kid. Hard to predict. I have

done the job, waiting a week and a half. What have you been doing?

Exactly, I don't know myself. Laying in bed, watching the guys box. Got

the nerves out of my system. Through to the semifinals. You are fighting

Joe Ham, you may be fighting the crowd? I have boxed him three times.

I know what he is about, are very good kid. I am more than capable of

beating him. Well done tonight. We have plenty more boxing and

gymnastics on the way through the course of the evening. If you want

to see gymnastics right now, you can go online, watching it

uninterrupted. The other sports we are offering, BBC1 has athletics and
