forward to seeing this afternoon, we can go over to John Inver deal, is | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Nicola Adams. She lit up the arena with a smile on her face. This is | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
the first time ever that women's boxing has been the Commonwealth | :00:09. | :00:09. | |
Games. Everybody is looking to her to double her gold tally. The Kenyan | :00:10. | :00:10. | |
winner who did that fantastic backflip in the ring, immediately as | :00:11. | :00:16. | |
he left the ring he put on a Celtic that old shirt which divided the | :00:17. | :00:25. | |
crowd! As you could imagine! As far as Nicola Adams is concerned, we are | :00:26. | :00:30. | |
just waiting on Warren Baister to come in to the ring, the heavyweight | :00:31. | :00:32. | |
from England. What is extraordinary about Nicola Adams, the scheduling | :00:33. | :00:39. | |
was a bit awry for her. Everybody was looking forward to seeing her | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
but she didn't get out into the ring until about 11:20pm at night and the | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
place was nearly empty, which was a shame. When she was announced, it | :00:48. | :00:52. | |
was almost the biggest cheer of the book Cincom petition so far. You can | :00:53. | :01:00. | |
see the pictures up on the screens and people on Twitter can't have | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
their messages put up there. There have been more tweets up there | :01:05. | :01:06. | |
their messages put up there. There have been more about Mick -- about | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
Nicola Adams and women's boxing in particular. Over the last two years, | :01:12. | :01:20. | |
she has become a talismanic for women's boxing. It'll be great to | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
see her in action this afternoon. I think that would be in about 90 | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
minutes. These are the big guys coming. Back to Jim Neely. Very kind | :01:31. | :01:42. | |
of you, John! I am big when it comes to my width, not to much the height. | :01:43. | :02:02. | |
These guys have both. Representing Canada, Samir El-Mais! | :02:03. | :02:12. | |
In the blue corner, representing England, Warren Baister! Warren | :02:13. | :02:26. | |
Baister started in impressive fashion beating Steven Ward. They | :02:27. | :02:28. | |
are big boys, aren't they. Two men who boxed in the world | :02:29. | :02:46. | |
championships a year ago find themselves boxing for a medal in the | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
Commonwealth Games. From Canada, 33 years of age, born in Abu Dhabi, now | :02:52. | :02:59. | |
lives in Windsor, Ontario, that is the guy in red, Samir El-Mais. From | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
Sunderland, Warren Baister, 28 years of age. He is the | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
Sunderland, Warren Baister, 28 years Warren Baister is in blue, | :03:10. | :03:18. | |
Sunderland, Warren Baister, 28 years El-Mais is in red. Warren Baister | :03:19. | :03:20. | |
had to read the contest against Steven Ward from Northern Ireland. | :03:21. | :03:27. | |
His left hook was probably the best shot in the contest. | :03:28. | :03:35. | |
The Canadian has a leaky guard. Warren Baister has to find the | :03:36. | :03:45. | |
accuracy to work with his hook. The second Commonwealth Games for the | :03:46. | :03:53. | |
Canadian, he defeated Kevin Evans, the veteran Welshman in this | :03:54. | :03:55. | |
division four years ago. Canadian, he defeated Kevin Evans, | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
the veteran Welshman in this He lost very narrowly in the quarterfinals | :03:59. | :04:06. | |
to Stephen Simmons. I think the score was 7-4. I think Warren | :04:07. | :04:12. | |
Baister will be favoured for this. He needs to find faster hands than | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
he has shown so far. Good right hand from Warren Baister. The jab is the | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
important shot here from Warren Baister. Long, straight, keep your | :04:22. | :04:28. | |
man had day. As Samir El-Mais comes forward, he dips his head, | :04:29. | :04:34. | |
overcommit. He will walk into a right uppercut from Warren Baister. | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
He needs to use his jab, bring on the attack. It was a great left hook | :04:39. | :04:45. | |
by Warren Baister in the second round against Steven Ward that | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
really turned the tide. There is the left hook yet again. Samir El-Mais | :04:52. | :04:59. | |
has been hurt a little bit. What a good shot by Warren Baister. | :05:00. | :05:08. | |
He has a lot of power in that shop. This guy comes forward, leaning in, | :05:09. | :05:17. | |
he will walk into that, or an uppercut. He just has to get his | :05:18. | :05:26. | |
timing right. Warren Baister holding a little bit, the referee won't | :05:27. | :05:33. | |
allow that. Ten seconds to go. Not much between them, but for my money, | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
Warren Baister with some solid very visible shock, he will have taken | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
this one. We have been wrong before! I think Warren Baister won | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
that round. I think he got his opponent with a better quality shots | :05:50. | :05:56. | |
right hand and a left hook. This guy has waited a long time the box. Here | :05:57. | :06:06. | |
is the left hook. What a cracking shot. Warren Baister knew he landed | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
with it. What a sweet punch that was. This fella from Canada must | :06:11. | :06:20. | |
have a good chin! Two judges have given it to Warren Baister. One | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
judge has given it to the Canadian, as they raise at quizzical eyebrow. | :06:26. | :06:36. | |
Is that a little cut? I think that came from the Steven Ward fight, to | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
be honest. Let's hope it doesn't open up. Two more rounds to go | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
separating these boxers, place in the semifinals, therefore a bronze | :06:46. | :06:51. | |
medal at the very least. Good left hand but the Canadian. And | :06:52. | :07:03. | |
a good right. He has got Warren Baister a couple of times. Another | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
good punch by Samir El-Mais. We know he is dangerous. | :07:09. | :07:10. | |
Baister a couple of times. Another good punch by Samir El-Mais. We He | :07:11. | :07:12. | |
is dangerous with his head, coming forward like that. Warren Baister | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
will have to watch that, he already has a cut on his eye. Warren Baister | :07:18. | :07:23. | |
has the longer reach, and he has to use it. Samir El-Mais lost out the | :07:24. | :07:30. | |
world Championships last year against Thomas McCarthy. He has gone | :07:31. | :07:41. | |
professional now, much to the disappointment of those involved in | :07:42. | :07:44. | |
amateur boxing in Northern Ireland. He would have been here. Samir | :07:45. | :07:51. | |
El-Mais is a very strong man. His punch resistance is very high. | :07:52. | :07:58. | |
Warren Baister has caught him a couple of times, but that doesn't | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
seem to faze him. There was the opportunity to land the uppercut. | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
Bring him on and finish on the hook! | :08:08. | :08:14. | |
Warren Baister trying to get the right hand in. Wasn't 1 million | :08:15. | :08:21. | |
miles away. The referee is letting them get on with it. Samir El-Mais | :08:22. | :08:28. | |
is dangerous with that right hand. A clever left hook by the Canadian. | :08:29. | :08:40. | |
Warren Baister did rattle his man in the opening round. Another good left | :08:41. | :08:50. | |
by Warren Baister -- another good left by Samir El-Mais, that rattled | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
Warren Baister. He needs to use his jab, keep the man away, and when he | :08:57. | :09:04. | |
comes in use the hook. The jab will keep him off balance. Keep your | :09:05. | :09:15. | |
hands up, Warren Baister. He got caught again. He did not press on | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
that advantage. He should have hounded his man. There is the right | :09:22. | :09:32. | |
uppercut. That wasn't too bad. The second round has gone. It will | :09:33. | :09:45. | |
be interesting to see how they score this. I think Samir El-Mais that the | :09:46. | :09:59. | |
better work. -- did the better work. Warren Baister's cancer just too | :10:00. | :10:10. | |
low. -- Warren Baister's hands are just too low. All three have given | :10:11. | :10:24. | |
it to the Canadian, who he is just ahead. | :10:25. | :10:33. | |
Warren Baister will have to go for it. | :10:34. | :10:46. | |
Warren Baister in blue, from Sunderland. This is the men's | :10:47. | :10:52. | |
heavyweight division. This is the first of the quarterfinals. He just | :10:53. | :11:02. | |
met at -- mistyped for London 2012 a couple of years ago. He has is work | :11:03. | :11:08. | |
cut out if he is going to make it through this. Samir El-Mais has got | :11:09. | :11:16. | |
his way into this contest pretty well. There is a cut. Was that a | :11:17. | :11:33. | |
punch or a clash of heads? The doctor is having a really good look. | :11:34. | :11:39. | |
We can't quite see where it is. It might be on the eyebrow. That is a | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
bad position, the blood runs into DIA. He is allowed to box. That will | :11:45. | :11:53. | |
encourage Warren Baister. This is the third round, remember. Temp to | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
has to go for it. Good left-hand by the Canadian. | :11:59. | :12:04. | |
Good right hand by Warren Baister, that is better. That hurt him. You | :12:05. | :12:11. | |
can see he has gone back a little bit. His eye is a mess. He has to be | :12:12. | :12:20. | |
more aggressive, get your accuracy and timing right. Good left-hand, | :12:21. | :12:28. | |
again. The old claret is flowing down the right hand side of the face | :12:29. | :12:34. | |
of the Canadian. The referee has not really spotted it, he is on the | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
wrong side. Samir El-Mais is coming steaming forward. Another good | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
left-hand by him. Warren Baister really has to work now. He has got | :12:44. | :12:51. | |
to put everything into it now. Warren Baister behind on the | :12:52. | :12:52. | |
scorecard. rounds. Can Warren Baister turn this | :12:53. | :13:06. | |
around? His opponent is cut and bloody but coming at him all the | :13:07. | :13:11. | |
time. Warren Baister needs to score. The referee is letting it go. Sharp | :13:12. | :13:17. | |
right hand. Not a bad bit of officiating and not a bad bit of | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
punching by Baister. El Mais comes bulldozing forward. Use the feet and | :13:22. | :13:27. | |
create a little room. Bring him forward, bring him onto the shots | :13:28. | :13:32. | |
will stop that is what Baister has got to do. Come forward, adjust your | :13:33. | :13:38. | |
feet. He got caught. I was about to say, one punch from Baister might | :13:39. | :13:44. | |
win this for him. A good punch by Baister but he has been caught and | :13:45. | :13:50. | |
the left of L Mase -- the left of El Mais again connecting. No command | :13:51. | :13:57. | |
from the referee to part. El Mais rubbing heads very nasty Lee. Just a | :13:58. | :14:04. | |
few seconds remaining, and has El Mais' late surge swung it in his | :14:05. | :14:06. | |
favour, despite that cut, which Mais' late surge swung it in his | :14:07. | :14:14. | |
hand at the end. El Mais thinks he has got it and so does Baister. What | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
do you think? A very close round, wasn't it? I got it wrong last time | :14:20. | :14:25. | |
do you think? A very close round, with Sean McGoldrick. I hope I | :14:26. | :14:26. | |
do you think? A very close round, got it wrong this time because I | :14:27. | :14:29. | |
think the Canadian has done enough to take it. He just wanted it a | :14:30. | :14:33. | |
little bit more, although I might be wrong. Warren caught him. That was | :14:34. | :14:41. | |
his head, going in. The referee did not pick it up but you just have to | :14:42. | :14:46. | |
get on with it. Let's have a look. A clash of heads. That is where the | :14:47. | :14:50. | |
Canadian got a cut earlier in the round. He was allowed to continue. | :14:51. | :14:57. | |
We will have to go to the judges. What a close one this is going to | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
be. Did Warren Baister do enough in the last round? Remember, he had to | :15:02. | :15:06. | |
win it on at least two of the three cards. | :15:07. | :15:12. | |
Ladies and gentlemen, we go to the judges' scorecards and we have a | :15:13. | :15:29. | |
split decision. In favour of the winner and through to the semifinal, | :15:30. | :15:35. | |
in the red corner, Samir El Mais! The Canadian has got it and Warren | :15:36. | :15:40. | |
Baister is pretty devastated. Two judges scored it El Mais, 29-28. The | :15:41. | :15:49. | |
man from Sri Lanka, sorry, Korea, has given it to Warren Baister, who | :15:50. | :15:54. | |
leaves a very disappointed boxer. And Samir El Mais in this, his | :15:55. | :16:02. | |
second Commonwealth Games, has got through to the medal stages that the | :16:03. | :16:07. | |
first time. Very pleased with himself. He did just the little bit | :16:08. | :16:11. | |
more in the third and final round. He squeezed past Warren Baister. | :16:12. | :16:16. | |
Waste will be hugely disappointed. This man, as you can see, hugely | :16:17. | :16:23. | |
delighted. Oh, dear. It just did not work out for Warren Baister. A nice | :16:24. | :16:32. | |
sake of hands at the end. -- shake of hands. Warren Baister gives his | :16:33. | :16:38. | |
man a bit of a hug. I am not sure if he is in the mood to do an | :16:39. | :16:42. | |
interview. I think he is. He is with John, blesses socks. | :16:43. | :16:48. | |
That looked very close, did you think you had won it? I thought I | :16:49. | :16:54. | |
hit him with better shots. He was working but they were just scuffing | :16:55. | :16:58. | |
around my gloves. I thought I had between shots and did enough. What | :16:59. | :17:04. | |
it is one of those things. When he got cut and there was a lot of blood | :17:05. | :17:07. | |
all over the place, did you think it was your chance? Yes, but fair play | :17:08. | :17:14. | |
to him, he was very game and a very experienced lad. He's been around | :17:15. | :17:17. | |
the block and he knows what he's doing. But I thought I did enough. A | :17:18. | :17:23. | |
game performance and thanks for talking to us. | :17:24. | :17:31. | |
The action continues in this highly competitive men's heavyweight | :17:32. | :17:39. | |
division. Samir El Mais is through but who will meet him in the | :17:40. | :17:46. | |
semifinals? It is going to be either a Nigerian, or an Australian. | :17:47. | :18:03. | |
This is the Australian, in blue, made Olympic boxing history when he | :18:04. | :18:07. | |
became the youngest Australian boxer to compete in the Olympic Games that | :18:08. | :18:12. | |
only 17. He is now only 19 and he is a big lump. But even bigger is the | :18:13. | :18:18. | |
man across the ring from him. Just to bring you up to speed, the judges | :18:19. | :18:22. | |
at ringside from Azerbaijan, Croatia, Wales, Georgia and Brazil. | :18:23. | :18:29. | |
The referee is the experienced Denis Popoff, from Russia. Remember, five | :18:30. | :18:37. | |
judges at ringside, all scoring but only three, randomly selected by | :18:38. | :18:38. | |
computer, will count. A first round stoppage for the big | :18:39. | :18:57. | |
Nigerian. The world junior silver medallist from three years ago, and | :18:58. | :19:00. | |
the world youth bronze medallist from two years ago. | :19:01. | :19:08. | |
The young Australian, by an inch or two the taller. But this Nigerian is | :19:09. | :19:20. | |
immensely strong. He stopped the Isle of Man -based Polish boxer in | :19:21. | :19:32. | |
the first round. Obadiah, straight into action. He is a southpaw, | :19:33. | :19:37. | |
bigger and taller, and faster, but can he stand up to the punching of | :19:38. | :19:40. | |
the chunky fellow in red, the 26-year-old Nigerian, Apochi? Jay | :19:41. | :19:52. | |
Opetaia of Australia in blue, and Apochi of Nigeria in red. Richie | :19:53. | :19:58. | |
Woodhall alongside me. Apochi, the Nigerian, is strong. You look for | :19:59. | :20:02. | |
the big right hand. I think that might be the shop to throw. I think | :20:03. | :20:07. | |
this Australian has got a box at distance against this fellow. He | :20:08. | :20:11. | |
does not need to be taking any risks. Both of them really going for | :20:12. | :20:15. | |
it, swinging with big shots. I like this Australian, I think he has a | :20:16. | :20:23. | |
lot of talent. Yes, he lost his opening contest in the Olympics at | :20:24. | :20:28. | |
17, to the hugely experienced man who was a world champion, from | :20:29. | :20:35. | |
Azerbaijan. It was only 12-11 on the old computer scoring system. We were | :20:36. | :20:41. | |
amazed, then. And he is still only a teenager. He will not be 20 until | :20:42. | :20:43. | |
May next year. Solid shots going in from both men. | :20:44. | :20:49. | |
Something is going to have to give. Good head movement from Apochi. | :20:50. | :21:07. | |
Short and solid. Apochi is a bit flat-footed. He probably needs his | :21:08. | :21:12. | |
opponent to be standing, holding their feet in front of him so he can | :21:13. | :21:16. | |
work. He will struggle if this Australian gets on his bike and | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
moves. I think the Nigerian might struggle to cope with that. Very | :21:21. | :21:24. | |
flat-footed indeed. If you choose the wrong tactics, hold your feet | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
and stand with him, that really brings him into the contest. This | :21:29. | :21:31. | |
Nigerian has natural strength and power. Good right hand from Jay | :21:32. | :21:37. | |
Opetaia, just being a little slow with the right jab. That is better, | :21:38. | :21:40. | |
trying to slip the left into the ribs. He led with his left, that | :21:41. | :21:46. | |
time but he is standing very square, the Australian. He needs to be | :21:47. | :21:52. | |
havens of. -- to behave himself. Apochi, with a solid left from the | :21:53. | :22:02. | |
Australian youngster. Good jab. Jay Opetaia's head went back and he was | :22:03. | :22:05. | |
retreating anyway but that was a good shot by Apochi, and he covers | :22:06. | :22:13. | |
up well. Jay Opetaia has got some nice moves, but occasionally loses | :22:14. | :22:16. | |
concentration and allows himself to go back onto the ropes, like just | :22:17. | :22:21. | |
then. His movement goes from positive positions into negative, on | :22:22. | :22:25. | |
the ropes. He has got a bit of skill but he needs to sort out his ring | :22:26. | :22:29. | |
craft a bit better. Again, another close one. | :22:30. | :22:39. | |
Apochi, coming forward, strong with the right hand. It is a bit messy. | :22:40. | :22:49. | |
Not a loss of quality, there. Jay Opetaia, working downstairs, and | :22:50. | :22:53. | |
making the mistake of holding his feet and just allowing his opponent | :22:54. | :22:58. | |
to come back. Let's have a look at the scores. | :22:59. | :23:16. | |
He was injured in May of this year but they got him patched up pretty | :23:17. | :23:21. | |
quickly and nursed him through. Showing no signs of any hand injury, | :23:22. | :23:28. | |
Jay Opetaia. The big fellow in blue, the Australian teenage heavyweight, | :23:29. | :23:34. | |
Jay Opetaia, who just shaded the opening round. All three judges | :23:35. | :23:38. | |
giving him the nod. His opponent from Nigeria, Apochi, will know that | :23:39. | :23:44. | |
and will have do come charging forward. He boxed in the World | :23:45. | :23:48. | |
Championships last year, incidentally, Apochi, and lost to | :23:49. | :23:55. | |
the man who beat Jay Opetaia in the Olympics, from Azerbaijan, who went | :23:56. | :23:59. | |
on to win the bronze medal, as he did in the Olympics in 2012. So they | :24:00. | :24:02. | |
have got somebody in common. The referee breaks that up. Apochi | :24:03. | :24:13. | |
being a bit more aggressive in this round. Jay Opetaia has got to get in | :24:14. | :24:17. | |
first with his right hand and bring his left across. Did not quite get | :24:18. | :24:24. | |
through the guard. A little rub of heads, there. The Australian has got | :24:25. | :24:29. | |
to get an move. Movement is the key against the Nigerian. He is strong. | :24:30. | :24:35. | |
-- has got to hit and move. If you move, he tends to struggle. He | :24:36. | :24:39. | |
enjoys you holding your feet, that type of contest. You can see him | :24:40. | :24:45. | |
moving off, Jay Opetaia, and Apochi cannot close down the gap. He is too | :24:46. | :24:50. | |
slow on his feet. Movement is the key for the Australian. Better work | :24:51. | :24:54. | |
by the Australian, right hand, followed by a left, straight through | :24:55. | :24:59. | |
the guard. A clash of heads as well. They have to watch that. Jay | :25:00. | :25:04. | |
Opetaia, just leaning in with his head. He needs to go to the body, | :25:05. | :25:10. | |
the Nigerian's elbows came up to him at chest level, a huge amount of | :25:11. | :25:13. | |
midriff and stomach available for a target. News. Struggling with the | :25:14. | :25:20. | |
pace. I think he is tiring, holding his feet, there. Jay Opetaia, | :25:21. | :25:25. | |
pace. I think he is tiring, holding a bit of pressure but Backe comes. | :25:26. | :25:28. | |
But Apochi is very strong. He is not going to go away. -- but back he | :25:29. | :25:34. | |
comes. The referee is happy with the holding. Jay Opetaia, under a bit of | :25:35. | :25:40. | |
pressure, trying to pop out the shots and he has got caught again. I | :25:41. | :25:44. | |
think he is tiring, you are right. He is wobbling a bit and he has got | :25:45. | :25:49. | |
caught and he is hurt, and Apochi is threatening to stop this. Suddenly, | :25:50. | :25:54. | |
Jay Opetaia, not a lot there. He is up on his toes but I think it is a | :25:55. | :25:58. | |
bit for show. We said movement was key, you hold your feet and you | :25:59. | :26:03. | |
bring the other guy into it. That is what has happened. He is tired and | :26:04. | :26:07. | |
has taken a couple of shots. Another round to go and this is good stuff | :26:08. | :26:12. | |
from Apochi. Years really battering the Australian youngster, who is | :26:13. | :26:16. | |
visibly tiring by the second. Ten seconds to go and Apochi comes | :26:17. | :26:20. | |
steaming forward. A couple of good shots in reply so Jay Opetaia has a | :26:21. | :26:24. | |
bit left. But it is a tired end of the round for the young Australian. | :26:25. | :26:29. | |
He meanders back to his corner. Apochi, straight back to his. They | :26:30. | :26:32. | |
will be a lot happier than they were three minutes ago. | :26:33. | :26:49. | |
This guy here, his fitness to seemed to disintegrate, he fell apart. This | :26:50. | :26:57. | |
was a better rally at the end of the round by Jai Opetaia, but, before | :26:58. | :27:07. | |
that, oh dear, he just lost it. You will not disagree with those scores. | :27:08. | :27:13. | |
First across-the-board goes to Efetobor Apochi. | :27:14. | :27:32. | |
So, the third, final and decisive round with this men's heavyweight | :27:33. | :27:43. | |
quarterfinal contest. At stake is a guaranteed bronze medal. Towards the | :27:44. | :27:57. | |
end of the second round, Jai Opetaia started to fall apart a bit. He got | :27:58. | :28:02. | |
caught I have very good right hand by Efetobor Apochi and he wasn't the | :28:03. | :28:07. | |
same box. Can Efetobor Apochi pick it up where he left off? This is a | :28:08. | :28:15. | |
classic case of a man who is probably more talented than his | :28:16. | :28:19. | |
opponent but if you don't have basic fitness, the less talented man will | :28:20. | :28:23. | |
really come into it, gain confidence, he will start to think | :28:24. | :28:27. | |
you can win. This will be a real test physically for Jai Opetaia, but | :28:28. | :28:33. | |
mentally, as well. He needs to choose the right tactics. Again, | :28:34. | :28:41. | |
Efetobor Apochi is coming back. He has slowed down so much. Efetobor | :28:42. | :28:49. | |
Apochi is starting to look tired, but does he have the reserves of | :28:50. | :28:56. | |
strength that we see from the boxers from Kenyon, Nigeria and Uganda? | :28:57. | :29:05. | |
Still there for the taking, midway through the last round. The first | :29:06. | :29:09. | |
round to the man in blue, the second round to the man in red. As we have | :29:10. | :29:18. | |
set a hundred times, it comes down to whoever wants it most. If you | :29:19. | :29:23. | |
don't want to win a contest gets you a Commonwealth Games medal, you | :29:24. | :29:26. | |
shouldn't be in the medal. Well, they don't give it to you, you have | :29:27. | :29:35. | |
to earn it. Efetobor Apochi is coming again. All the skills that | :29:36. | :29:42. | |
Jai Opetaia showed in the first round have gone. He is trying to | :29:43. | :29:47. | |
rely on a couple of big punches. He is slapping. Efetobor Apochi does | :29:48. | :29:54. | |
not look to fresh himself. These two have punched themselves almost a | :29:55. | :30:06. | |
standstill. Efetobor Apochi just he just has to keep it going. Jai | :30:07. | :30:15. | |
Opetaia is wobbling, swaying. That hurt him downstairs. Nothing coming | :30:16. | :30:25. | |
back from Jai Opetaia. Ten seconds to go. This chunky Nigerian is | :30:26. | :30:34. | |
putting on all of the pressure. For my money, I think Efetobor Apochi | :30:35. | :30:39. | |
has got this. What a great last round. Jai Opetaia had nothing in | :30:40. | :30:48. | |
his tank. That was very surprising. All the skills, the movement in the | :30:49. | :30:52. | |
first round, it just went away from him. When he held his feet, he was | :30:53. | :31:01. | |
getting caught on the ropes, bad ring craft, bad movement, swinging | :31:02. | :31:11. | |
wildly. He goes to the floor. He missed the target too often. Very | :31:12. | :31:16. | |
close last round indeed. Who is your money on, Jim? The red corner. I | :31:17. | :31:25. | |
will go blue! OK, I will give you that pound IOU later, assuming you | :31:26. | :31:26. | |
are right! Ladies and gentlemen, we have the | :31:27. | :31:41. | |
scores. The winner by unanimous decision and now through to the | :31:42. | :31:45. | |
semifinal, in the red corner, from Nigeria, Efetobor Apochi! I will get | :31:46. | :31:53. | |
that point later, Richie. Efetobor Apochi has gone through having lost | :31:54. | :31:56. | |
the opening round, he took the last two rounds. The 26-year-old from | :31:57. | :32:10. | |
Nigeria has got himself a medal. For a big man to do that! He must be | :32:11. | :32:13. | |
fit! A delightful finish. Here it is | :32:14. | :32:42. | |
again. Degree of difficulty, 6.2! He deserved that, Ritchie? Yes, he did. | :32:43. | :32:52. | |
He wanted it more. Efetobor Apochi goes through. | :32:53. | :33:00. | |
Well, the big fella clearly very happy about winning there. The | :33:01. | :33:05. | |
gymnastics final is happening over on BBC One. On the red button, you | :33:06. | :33:14. | |
can watch hockey. It is New Zealand against Canada. If you hit the blue | :33:15. | :33:20. | |
button, other options are available depending on your provider. Of | :33:21. | :33:25. | |
course, we have all the sports live on the website. Perhaps Babington? | :33:26. | :33:36. | |
Awesome table tennis? Or maybe squash? -- | :33:37. | :33:45. | |
we are going to go back to boxing, the men's heavyweight division. | :33:46. | :33:58. | |
Scotland's Stephen Lavelle is heading towards the ring. | :33:59. | :34:10. | |
The rift is about to come off here! In comes the local favourite, born | :34:11. | :34:21. | |
in Glasgow, lives in Glasgow, coached by Joe Ham senior. | :34:22. | :34:29. | |
in Glasgow, lives in Glasgow, Stephen Lavelle. 23 years of | :34:30. | :34:34. | |
in Glasgow, lives in Glasgow, champion. He is in | :34:35. | :35:05. | |
There is Amritpreet Singh, from India. In the red corner, | :35:06. | :35:12. | |
representing India, Amritpreet Singh! | :35:13. | :35:20. | |
In the blue corner, representing Scotland, Stephen Lavelle! | :35:21. | :35:54. | |
The man in blue, from Scotland, Stephen Lavelle is giving away about | :35:55. | :36:01. | |
half a foot in height from this enormously tall teenager from the | :36:02. | :36:11. | |
Punjab. So, Scotland in blue, India in red. The second contest for | :36:12. | :36:16. | |
Stephen Lavelle. He came through against Kody Davies. Amritpreet is | :36:17. | :36:37. | |
enormously tall. Stephen Lavelle I think will try to get inside him. | :36:38. | :36:43. | |
Also the right hand over the top is the shot he will concentrate on. | :36:44. | :36:52. | |
Look how low the left hand of the Indian is. | :36:53. | :37:07. | |
You can see the problem is that Stephen Lavelle has. It was a good | :37:08. | :37:15. | |
right hand to the head of the Indian. The tactics right from | :37:16. | :37:25. | |
Stephen Lavelle, gets on the inside. He needs to switch the attack from | :37:26. | :37:29. | |
body to head, finish on the hook, the right hand over the head. | :37:30. | :37:39. | |
Good right hand from the Indian boxer. He has to use his enormous | :37:40. | :37:50. | |
reach advantage. He wasn't too far away with that right hand, Stephen | :37:51. | :37:57. | |
Lavelle. He just has to watch the right from the taller man. Good | :37:58. | :38:06. | |
right by Stephen Lavelle. Not much between them. Stephen Lavelle is | :38:07. | :38:10. | |
doing the better work inside, when he can get inside. Good right from | :38:11. | :38:15. | |
the body by Stephen Lavelle. Stephen Lavelle is, I think, the outside of | :38:16. | :38:22. | |
his left eye. The referee from Finland is having a look at it. He | :38:23. | :38:26. | |
is looking at the face of the Indian. I think Stephen Lavelle is | :38:27. | :38:33. | |
cut. Amritpreet is slapping a bit. Good footwork by Stephen Lavelle. He | :38:34. | :38:35. | |
gets back inside. Box on, says the referee. Into the | :38:36. | :38:49. | |
last 30 seconds. Stephen Lavelle is coming steaming forward. It is | :38:50. | :38:53. | |
messy, scrapping. He has to get on the ropes. He wants to keep him | :38:54. | :39:04. | |
square. Another good left hand by the Scotsman. The long arms of the | :39:05. | :39:16. | |
Indian keep dropping down. Yes, there is a cut. It looks like an old | :39:17. | :39:24. | |
one that has opened up. They just need | :39:25. | :39:25. | |
there is a cut. It looks like an old one that has opened up. They just to | :39:26. | :39:27. | |
try to stop the flow of blood into the eye. Stephen | :39:28. | :39:27. | |
try to stop the flow of blood into Lavelle gets in with a fantastic | :39:28. | :39:40. | |
shop, a simple jab. The scores have gone with the Scotsman. | :39:41. | :40:10. | |
The first round of this heavyweight quarterfinal goes to the shorter of | :40:11. | :40:19. | |
the two, in blue. It wouldn't be hard to be shorter than this fella | :40:20. | :40:23. | |
from India, who is only 19 years of age, but is six foot six. He is the | :40:24. | :40:28. | |
tallest boxer in the whole tournament. Plenty of opportunities | :40:29. | :40:37. | |
for Stephen Lavelle to land the right hand over the top. Amritpreet | :40:38. | :40:42. | |
has started to come out with the jab, but he is not very accurate. | :40:43. | :40:48. | |
Stephen Lavelle has to jump to his left and threw in the hook. A couple | :40:49. | :40:57. | |
of good shots thereby Amritpreet. Stephen Lavelle has to be careful he | :40:58. | :41:11. | |
doesn't get picked off that range. He needs to stick to his left and | :41:12. | :41:20. | |
moved that right hand over. You are not allowed to hang onto the ropes. | :41:21. | :41:30. | |
Amritpreet is inviting Stephen Lavelle to go forwards. Stephen | :41:31. | :41:40. | |
Lavelle has to work more on the inside. That wasn't a bad shot! His | :41:41. | :41:51. | |
eyes seems to be fine, incidentally. -- his eye. | :41:52. | :42:08. | |
What a belting shop that was by Stephen Lavelle. Amritpreet is | :42:09. | :42:16. | |
starting to look a little bit wobbly. If he can land again... And | :42:17. | :42:26. | |
again by Stephen Lavelle! And again. Amritpreet can't just sit back and | :42:27. | :42:30. | |
admire his work, he has to keep pressing. Stephen Lavelle is very | :42:31. | :42:34. | |
strong. Not the best man in terms of the work, he is no dancer, but he | :42:35. | :42:40. | |
can punch a bit. That could see him through if he keeps going and | :42:41. | :42:43. | |
doesn't get tired. Amritpreet leaning again. He gets him again | :42:44. | :42:51. | |
with a right, then the left. He just needs to draw the jab of the | :42:52. | :42:54. | |
opponent. Slip, then through the right hand over almost | :42:55. | :42:56. | |
instantaneously. as well. A good right hand to finish | :42:57. | :43:08. | |
and a little lad, just to remind his man. And Lavelle has a very short | :43:09. | :43:14. | |
trip to his still in the blue corner. He will be pretty pleased | :43:15. | :43:20. | |
and pretty pleased when the judges' scores go up. Better work from | :43:21. | :43:24. | |
Lavelle. He caught his opponent with the cleaner shots, more | :43:25. | :43:28. | |
eye-catching. Right hand over the top, there. A good shot, indeed. | :43:29. | :43:36. | |
Coming up well, just get scored with the jab. When he is at range, years | :43:37. | :43:40. | |
going to get caught, which is why he has to go forward, slip the shot and | :43:41. | :43:44. | |
then over the top of the right hand. That is what I'm talking about. That | :43:45. | :43:49. | |
was the best right-hand of the round. The best punch the contest. | :43:50. | :43:56. | |
-- of the contest. One judge has given it to the Indian, and the | :43:57. | :44:01. | |
other two have given it to Lavelle, who is in pole position. There is | :44:02. | :44:07. | |
the Scottish Boxing Day. One or two nails getting chewed. What a game 's | :44:08. | :44:15. | |
Glasgow has posted, the Scots on home territory. And what a boxing to | :44:16. | :44:21. | |
and we have had at the SECC. We are within punching distance of the | :44:22. | :44:24. | |
wonderful River Clyde. The man in blue knows the river well, the | :44:25. | :44:28. | |
Glaswegian, Stephen Lavelle, coached locally. He is now less than three | :44:29. | :44:39. | |
minutes away. He can guarantee himself a Commonwealth Games medal. | :44:40. | :44:43. | |
Don't swing your man around. This is not strict recon dancing. -- | :44:44. | :44:50. | |
strictly come dancing. He needs controlled aggression. He does not | :44:51. | :44:54. | |
have to be selling. He has to finish on his left foot after the right | :44:55. | :44:59. | |
hand he throws over the top. He has got to be sensible about it. | :45:00. | :45:01. | |
Controlled aggression is what he needs. Ducking down a little bit and | :45:02. | :45:09. | |
the referee telling him to keep his head up. Is Stephen Lavelle tiring a | :45:10. | :45:15. | |
little bit? It is getting a bit scrappy. I think they are both | :45:16. | :45:18. | |
tiring. Lavelle has got to keep it going. Yes, not too bad. He is just | :45:19. | :45:28. | |
trying to split them up, now. It is so close, Lavelle does not want to | :45:29. | :45:31. | |
get a warning but he has landed with a very good right hand and | :45:32. | :45:35. | |
Amritpreet is not moving the way he did in the opening round. He has | :45:36. | :45:39. | |
slowed down considerably. If Lavelle can get to him again with single | :45:40. | :45:43. | |
slowed down considerably. If Lavelle shots like that, he can make sure of | :45:44. | :45:47. | |
a place in the semifinals. You can see, also, to finish on the left | :45:48. | :45:55. | |
hook is the opportunity. Manfred's -- Amritpreet's left hand keeps on | :45:56. | :46:00. | |
coming down as he makes the shot. Lavelle has got to work on the | :46:01. | :46:03. | |
inside. When you get the opportunity, work away, showed the | :46:04. | :46:08. | |
judges you are willing to work on the inside. He needs to be careful. | :46:09. | :46:14. | |
Into the final minute. Lavelle was leading at the start of this round, | :46:15. | :46:18. | |
and he is probably still in that position and he will want to keep it | :46:19. | :46:24. | |
that way. His head going down as his opponent is pushing him down. The | :46:25. | :46:28. | |
referee says the Indian is that full. Come on, Stephen Lavelle, you | :46:29. | :46:32. | |
need a couple more telling shots, to win this one. He is getting caught | :46:33. | :46:37. | |
himself, now, a slashing right-hand and unintended uppercut by | :46:38. | :46:46. | |
Amritpreet. -- and intended. The Indian is finishing the round a bit | :46:47. | :46:50. | |
stronger. He needs to attack. The last 20 seconds are absolutely | :46:51. | :46:54. | |
crucial in a close round like this. Another sneaky ride from Lavelle, | :46:55. | :46:58. | |
who is really exhausted now. There is nothing much left from either | :46:59. | :47:03. | |
boxer. It has got very messy. Don't hit round the back of the head. Not | :47:04. | :47:08. | |
for the first time. But Lavelle is about to go, and I think Stephen | :47:09. | :47:12. | |
Lavelle has done enough to take this. He reckons he has. I think he | :47:13. | :47:20. | |
has as well. He just did the slightly better work in that round. | :47:21. | :47:24. | |
There was a period in the last 45 seconds when Amritpreet started to | :47:25. | :47:27. | |
come back into it and looked like he was finishing stronger. But then | :47:28. | :47:31. | |
Lavelle just lost him again. A good right hand over the top. He just | :47:32. | :47:36. | |
found a lift book, it would have been better. He gets picked off | :47:37. | :47:40. | |
occasionally at range but overall, you have to say he did enough to win | :47:41. | :47:47. | |
the last round. He wins it, for me. He conceded so much in terms of | :47:48. | :47:52. | |
height and reach, Stephen Lavelle. His opponent is probably six inches | :47:53. | :47:53. | |
taller than him. Ladies and gentlemen, we have the | :47:54. | :48:11. | |
judges' scored totals, and the winner, by unanimous decision, and | :48:12. | :48:15. | |
now through to the semifinal, in the blue corner, representing Scotland, | :48:16. | :48:27. | |
Stephen Lavelle! The Commonwealth Games semifinalist on home turf. And | :48:28. | :48:31. | |
to a man, woman and child at the SECC, they are on their feet for | :48:32. | :48:35. | |
Stephen Lavelle. It was a tough contest against a man who physically | :48:36. | :48:39. | |
had so much more in the way of advantage but Lavelle's | :48:40. | :48:43. | |
determination some good, hard work and a big engine and a big heart has | :48:44. | :48:49. | |
got him through. Stephen Lavelle has won it on all three judges | :48:50. | :48:53. | |
scorecards. He is in danger of being hard to death by the Scottish | :48:54. | :49:00. | |
coaching team. -- Huggett to death. One more match to go and then he is | :49:01. | :49:06. | |
into the final. Stephen Lavelle has got himself a Commonwealth Games | :49:07. | :49:08. | |
bronze medal on home turf and he is talking to John. | :49:09. | :49:16. | |
You have got a medal! I'm absolutely delighted. He was so tall and | :49:17. | :49:23. | |
awkward to deal with but I ground it out like I did in the first fight. | :49:24. | :49:27. | |
I'm delighted with my medal. That is for blood go. Fantastic. When you go | :49:28. | :49:31. | |
into the ring against somebody who is so much taller than you, what is | :49:32. | :49:37. | |
your immediate thought? To arms, two legs, no matter how big or how | :49:38. | :49:41. | |
small, it is the same tactics. They say it is not his size, it is his | :49:42. | :49:46. | |
heart and fight, and I had a massive heart. It was a bit scrappy to watch | :49:47. | :49:50. | |
but I got the job done and I'm delighted. The crowd loved it. It | :49:51. | :49:53. | |
does not matter about the quality. What do you do between now and | :49:54. | :49:58. | |
Friday and the semifinal? Probably chill out a little bit. Not too | :49:59. | :50:03. | |
much. We will keep sharpening, one-minute rounds, nothing too much, | :50:04. | :50:08. | |
just keeping the quality up. But now it keeps going. What kind of friends | :50:09. | :50:13. | |
and family are here? I stay about ten minutes away from the venue. | :50:14. | :50:17. | |
Fantastic. A few people are at work, which I can understand but some of | :50:18. | :50:21. | |
my friends and family have taken holidays. The crowd helped me again | :50:22. | :50:26. | |
today. It was fantastic. It was great to watch. Congratulations. | :50:27. | :50:32. | |
So who is going to take up the last place in the semifinals of this | :50:33. | :50:38. | |
men's heavyweight division? Is it going to be this fellow, the | :50:39. | :50:41. | |
22-year-old from New Zealand, who lives in Auckland, David Light, or | :50:42. | :50:48. | |
is it going to be his opponent from Kenya, Charles Okoth, now 26. | :50:49. | :50:57. | |
The first time we have seen Charles Okoth, he got himself a buy. Only 13 | :50:58. | :51:07. | |
competitors in the heavyweight division so he was fortunate to get | :51:08. | :51:11. | |
a bike, so one victory, and he is into the medals. The judges are from | :51:12. | :51:20. | |
Russia, Georgia, Denmark, Italy and Azerbaijan. There will be a big roar | :51:21. | :51:23. | |
when the referee's names announced because he is from Scotland. | :51:24. | :51:29. | |
Representing New Zealand, David Light! He produced the knockout of | :51:30. | :51:37. | |
the tournament in his opening contest. In the blue, representing | :51:38. | :51:39. | |
Kenya, Charles Odhiambo Okoth! And the referee for this one, ladies | :51:40. | :51:53. | |
and gentlemen, from Scotland, Andrew Caulfield! Chiefs the former | :51:54. | :52:02. | |
Scottish ABA champion, and a representative at light heavyweight | :52:03. | :52:04. | |
in the Auckland Commonwealth Games way back in the day. Two men I know | :52:05. | :52:10. | |
quite well, when McCulloch and Richie Woodhall, won gold medals | :52:11. | :52:16. | |
then. -- Wayne McCulloch. So, Scotland's Andrew Caulfield brings | :52:17. | :52:20. | |
them together. We are delighted to report that the Malaysians boxer, | :52:21. | :52:25. | |
Omar, who was knocked out in spectacular fashion by David Light, | :52:26. | :52:28. | |
recovered in time to take his place the following day. It looked very | :52:29. | :52:32. | |
worrying, you have to say. David Light caught him with a corrosion is | :52:33. | :52:35. | |
left upright on the point of his chin and he went down. -- a | :52:36. | :52:40. | |
ferocious left hook, right on the point of his chin. Now David Light | :52:41. | :52:45. | |
has a more difficult opponent in the shape of the 26-year-old man in blue | :52:46. | :52:49. | |
from Kenya, Charles Okoth, who is a lot bigger and looks a lot stronger. | :52:50. | :52:54. | |
David Light, taking his time. He boxed in the World Championships in | :52:55. | :52:57. | |
Kazakhstan last year, lost his opening contest to an Uzbek | :52:58. | :53:07. | |
fighter. Understandably, the Kenyan is a bit tentative. He has obviously | :53:08. | :53:11. | |
seen the knockout David Light produced. He is keeping his distance | :53:12. | :53:16. | |
and having a look at the New Zealand man. Varies that left again, just a | :53:17. | :53:27. | |
whiff of it. -- there is. He did not show him the folic but Charles Okoth | :53:28. | :53:30. | |
will be wondering what is in that left hand, and the answer is | :53:31. | :53:34. | |
dynamite. You can see, he is on the back foot, inking he does not want | :53:35. | :53:39. | |
to get on the end of one of the left hooks. He has got to watch what he | :53:40. | :53:45. | |
is doing. That is a good left jab. David Light, looking very | :53:46. | :53:49. | |
comfortable. No pun intended, but he is pretty light on his feet for a | :53:50. | :53:54. | |
big man. He is six foot one. Giving away a bit of height to his | :53:55. | :53:58. | |
opponent. To the body from the New Zealander, slipping away from the | :53:59. | :54:02. | |
punch very nicely. It is nice to see him doing a bit of boxing because we | :54:03. | :54:05. | |
did not get the chance to see what he could do because of the knockout. | :54:06. | :54:10. | |
He looks quite competent. Charles Okoth has got to watch what he is | :54:11. | :54:14. | |
doing. When he moves away, his right hand comes down a bit, and also, | :54:15. | :54:18. | |
when he is blocking the jab, he does it with his right hand. David Light | :54:19. | :54:24. | |
then decides to think the jab and through the hook, he will walk onto | :54:25. | :54:31. | |
one. -- feint the jab. It is my understand that no longer will | :54:32. | :54:35. | |
winners of the Oceana championship automatically qualify for the | :54:36. | :54:40. | |
Olympics. I am led to believe they will have two enter the Asian | :54:41. | :54:43. | |
qualifiers to get through. There is a chance we might not see any boxes | :54:44. | :54:48. | |
from Australia and New Zealand, or the islands around them, in the | :54:49. | :54:54. | |
Olympics ever again, but who knows? Strange things going on in the world | :54:55. | :54:58. | |
of amateur boxing. A right hand from David Light. It is a good opening | :54:59. | :55:04. | |
round. He has not been called with anything meaningful. Charles Okoth | :55:05. | :55:07. | |
looking rather clumsy and David Light gets him again with a good | :55:08. | :55:11. | |
ride. The New Zealander upping the pace well and putting pressure on | :55:12. | :55:15. | |
his man. He is boxing very nicely indeed. A very good round of boxing. | :55:16. | :55:21. | |
David Light boxing well. I think Charles Okoth, visibly shaken at | :55:22. | :55:29. | |
times but his tactics kept him on the outside because of the powerful | :55:30. | :55:33. | |
left hook his man has got. I think Charles Okoth is better at range. He | :55:34. | :55:37. | |
gets clipped and made the mistake of falling short with the attack and | :55:38. | :55:40. | |
gets caught with a little left hook which made him very unsteady on his | :55:41. | :55:44. | |
legs. A tentative round from the Kenyan. Not a good one, I did not | :55:45. | :55:50. | |
think. Yes, they have all gone per David Light. You can't disagree. | :55:51. | :55:55. | |
Absolutely not. -- gone for David Light. You are too strong and too | :55:56. | :56:03. | |
fast for this guy. I want your hands back nice and tight. I want some | :56:04. | :56:12. | |
real pressure on him. You hear me? David Light, 22 years old. BELL | :56:13. | :56:20. | |
The heavily muscled man in blue is Charles Odhiambo Okoth, the 2060 | :56:21. | :56:25. | |
Rock from Kenya but he is getting caught with some good shots by New | :56:26. | :56:32. | |
Zealand's highly exciting 22-year-old, David Light. | :56:33. | :56:38. | |
Zealand's highly exciting Okoth is trying to keep him at range | :56:39. | :56:41. | |
but his work is not very accurate. He keeps on missing the target with | :56:42. | :56:44. | |
the right hand which is why he falls into his opponent. He will walk onto | :56:45. | :56:49. | |
another one of those left hooks if he is not careful. He has to be more | :56:50. | :56:54. | |
accurate at long range, the Kenyan. That is his problem, he keeps | :56:55. | :56:59. | |
falling. A little banging together of heads. Andrew Caulfield did not | :57:00. | :57:03. | |
give a command and David Light took full advantage. A good start to the | :57:04. | :57:07. | |
second round by the youngster, who dominated the opener. Charles | :57:08. | :57:11. | |
Okoth, falling short. Nothing much behind the jab. He probably needs to | :57:12. | :57:16. | |
double up a little bit. Good footwork by David Light. You can see | :57:17. | :57:24. | |
that he is dusty holding the left-hand -- just holding the left | :57:25. | :57:28. | |
had ominously known. -- ominously low. All the aggression is coming | :57:29. | :57:52. | |
from one. -- from David Light. That is better boxing from Charles | :57:53. | :58:17. | |
Okoth. One see how his man the inside, that is when he is | :58:18. | :58:25. | |
vulnerable. The referee is just saying to watch the use of the | :58:26. | :58:27. | |
forearm. The officials at ringside are very | :58:28. | :58:45. | |
qualified. You can either be a judge or a referee. I think that was a | :58:46. | :58:54. | |
better round for Charles Okoth. It will be closer. Charles Okoth has | :58:55. | :59:01. | |
managed to keep his man at bay for longer periods. That was a swinging | :59:02. | :59:13. | |
right by David Light, which would indicate he is beginning to get | :59:14. | :59:19. | |
tired. He is puffing a little bit. We know that the canyons are so | :59:20. | :59:25. | |
supremely fit. -- the athletes from Ken your -- Kenya. | :59:26. | :59:38. | |
He didn't really land a clean shot. Definitely tiring at the end. | :59:39. | :59:55. | |
So, David Light where he wants to be, but he is breathing pretty | :59:56. | :00:02. | |
heavily. We will need to see what he has left. It could be that Charles | :00:03. | :00:12. | |
Okoth picks up on the fact that his opponent is tiring. The man in blue, | :00:13. | :00:22. | |
the heavyweight from Kenya will need to win this last round by a country | :00:23. | :00:28. | |
mile, or stop the guy in red, the 22-year-old from Auckland, New | :00:29. | :00:39. | |
Zealand, David Light. Definitely showing signs of fatigue at the end | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
of the second round. Better by David Light, keeping his man must, keeping | :00:44. | :00:55. | |
him on the back foot. Charles Okoth is boxing better, keeping his man at | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
bay. David Light is walking onto the | :00:59. | :01:26. | |
straight shots from Charles Okoth. Better once again by David Light. | :01:27. | :01:43. | |
Charles Okoth is holding. This speed has dropped considerably from the | :01:44. | :01:52. | |
first round, as you would expect. A nasty little rub of heads. David | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
Light looks really tired. Charles Okoth is not really picking up on | :01:58. | :02:05. | |
it. Each other's work rate. There is a bit left by David Light. He is | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
calling up in his reserves. Good footwork by Charles Okoth. David | :02:11. | :02:21. | |
Light just capturing his opponent. I think David Light has done enough, | :02:22. | :02:33. | |
unless it gets ambushed. I can't believe Charles Okoth has not thrown | :02:34. | :02:43. | |
his left hook. I think David Light is open to that. He drops his arms, | :02:44. | :03:02. | |
he just hasn't produced it. David Light must know that he only has a | :03:03. | :03:18. | |
minute to go and he is winning it. I think New Zealand have got | :03:19. | :03:20. | |
themselves a men's heavyweight medal here at Glasgow at the expense of | :03:21. | :03:34. | |
the man from Kenya, Charles Okoth. Charles Okoth looks exhausted. David | :03:35. | :03:41. | |
Light did get tired, but Charles Okoth did not pick up on it. A very | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
scrappy round. A couple of good jabs from David Light coming forward. He | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
nearly walked onto one there. Dumping Charles Okoth did enough to | :03:50. | :03:56. | |
win it, overall, I think it was a better performance from the New | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
Zealander. All is about to be revealed. Ladies and gentlemen we | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
have the totals. A unanimous decision. The winner, through to the | :04:06. | :04:13. | |
semifinals, in the red corner, representing New Zealand, David | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
Light! David Light has got it. He didn't lose a single round. | :04:19. | :04:31. | |
New Zealand have got themselves a Commonwealth Games medal. This | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
appointment for Kenya, who brought a strong team here. So good to see | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
them back, contesting at the Commonwealth Games. David Light is | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
the man who has won it. He is ecstatic. | :04:48. | :04:55. | |
So, lots of people very happy, McGoldrick there. Samir El-Mais beat | :04:56. | :05:06. | |
Warren Baister. Stephen Lavelle, guaranteed medal for him. So, the | :05:07. | :05:16. | |
semifinal line-up for the bantamweight and heavyweight | :05:17. | :05:17. | |
division. It looks like this: We have moved inside. It is a bit | :05:18. | :05:49. | |
inclement outside, a bit of wind and rain floating around. July in | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
Glasgow, he would have expect that? Please get in touch with us. Have a | :05:55. | :06:05. | |
look at the website. We will be back to the women's boxing in a few | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
moments, but let's tell you what is coming up between now and seven | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
o'clock. Women's boxing coming up in a few minutes. A place in the | :06:14. | :06:20. | |
semifinals for the hockey is in store between South Africa and | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
India. We will see medals decided in the wrestling mat. And then some | :06:24. | :06:30. | |
swashbuckling action in the table tennis. Stick around for that. Back | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
to boxing. Quarterfinal number one. The judges | :06:34. | :07:08. | |
at ringside are from Morocco, Korea, Belarus and Uzbekistan. For a | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
two-minute rounds of boxing. In the red corner, representing Jamaica, | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
Sarah Joy Rae! In the blue corner, representing | :07:18. | :07:27. | |
Northern Ireland, Michaela Walsh. So, the referee just giving his last | :07:28. | :08:04. | |
instructions. The flyweight quarterfinal, then. The first of a | :08:05. | :08:14. | |
scheduled for two-minute rounds. Boxers from Jamaica and Northern | :08:15. | :08:17. | |
Ireland. The Jamaican is wearing red. Sarah Joy Rae, 32 years of age, | :08:18. | :08:24. | |
part of the four strong Jamaican team. Opponent, wearing blue, | :08:25. | :08:30. | |
operating out of the orthodox stance, is Michaela Walsh. Lucy | :08:31. | :08:37. | |
O'Connor is beside me. Michaela Walsh was dazzling in her opening | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
bout. She had the privilege of being the first ever women's boxer to | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
compete in the Commonwealth Games. What an opening that was. She showed | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
great balance, great poise, impressive footwork. And lightning | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
combinations. A tentative start here. Lots of respect being shown. | :08:57. | :09:02. | |
Sarah Joy Rae is the taller of the two. Michaela Walsh just catching | :09:03. | :09:13. | |
her as she moves forward. It is the first out of the competition for | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
Sarah Joy Rae. She got a bye in her opening round. It is the first time | :09:20. | :09:29. | |
that Sarah Joy Rae is experiencing the atmosphere here at the SECC. It | :09:30. | :09:35. | |
could take a little bit longer to find the rhythm and timing than | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
Michaela Walsh. That is so crucial in a boxer's repertoire. Most boxers | :09:41. | :09:47. | |
that you speak to prepare to get into the competition early. Just to | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
get into the rhythm, to dust off any ring rust. It is not an advantage to | :09:53. | :10:03. | |
get the by, necessarily. There is the bell. | :10:04. | :10:11. | |
Not a great deal in that. I think Michaela Walsh had a higher volume | :10:12. | :10:19. | |
of shots. I think the judges might go with her. She starts and finishes | :10:20. | :10:29. | |
the exchanges. That will catch the eye of the judges. | :10:30. | :10:38. | |
The first round when unanimously then to Michaela Walsh. Daschle went | :10:39. | :10:58. | |
Sarah Joy Rae is based in Switzerland. Representing Jamaica. | :10:59. | :11:09. | |
We move into the second round. Sarah Joy Rae is wearing red, she conceded | :11:10. | :11:17. | |
the opening rounds to the boxer wearing blue, Michaela Walsh, from | :11:18. | :11:29. | |
Northern Ireland. As Michaela Walsh leads the attack, she is very good | :11:30. | :11:34. | |
at getting out of range. Sarah Joy Rae has the longer range. Michaela | :11:35. | :11:40. | |
Walsh is very nimble on her feet. She throws lots of punches, a high | :11:41. | :11:46. | |
volume of punches, but stays nice and safe as she comes out of range. | :11:47. | :11:53. | |
Michaela Walsh is the 14th ranked boxer in the world at weight. -- at | :11:54. | :12:06. | |
her weight. Just three women's weight class is being contested here | :12:07. | :12:13. | |
at the Commonwealth Games. Boxers who find themselves in between those | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
weight categories have an invidious choice to make, whether to go up or | :12:18. | :12:24. | |
down. Michaela Walsh decided to go down, competing here at 51 | :12:25. | :12:25. | |
kilograms. Michaela Walsh not elect them to use | :12:26. | :12:36. | |
her reach advantage. She is either jumping in with bent arm shots were | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
waiting far too long to lead the attack. A little bit tentative. | :12:41. | :12:46. | |
Every time she tries to throw a punch, Michaela Walsh comes back | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
with three or four punch combinations. Some attention is | :12:50. | :12:57. | |
required here. Michaela Walsh using her legs to | :12:58. | :13:14. | |
tremendous effect, staying out of trouble. J comes forward with a | :13:15. | :13:22. | |
tremendous combination. Having conceded the opening round, I think | :13:23. | :13:26. | |
Sarah Joy Rae conceded the opening round, I think | :13:27. | :13:35. | |
rounds down. Desperation from Sarah Joy Rae at the end of that round, | :13:36. | :13:38. | |
coming forward and punching the near. Michaela Walsh pounding the | :13:39. | :13:43. | |
body and the head. Switching the attack, a very capable performance | :13:44. | :13:49. | |
again in that second round and all three judges giving Michaela Walsh. | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
Two rounds to go there. We are down to the final eight there | :13:55. | :14:25. | |
in the quarterfinal stage. Immediately as the bell sounds Sarah | :14:26. | :14:30. | |
Joy Rae is led back to her corner, just some adjustments needed to her | :14:31. | :14:35. | |
waistband. You can see a slight nick on the bridge of her nose. We begin | :14:36. | :14:47. | |
this round. Sarah Joy Rae has started quickly, but Michaela Walsh | :14:48. | :14:53. | |
continuing to use her legs to evade the forward forays of the Jamaican. | :14:54. | :15:01. | |
Despite being the taller boxer, Sarah Joy Rae is being picked off by | :15:02. | :15:09. | |
clean potshots. There is a distinct difference in stance and balance | :15:10. | :15:12. | |
between these boxers. Michaela Walsh has beautifully balanced report, a | :15:13. | :15:18. | |
beautifully balanced, stable base. -- beautifully balanced footwork. | :15:19. | :15:26. | |
The coach just adjusting the best. The rules are that the white | :15:27. | :15:31. | |
waistband must be visible at all times -- adjusting the vest. It | :15:32. | :15:38. | |
gives you an idea of where the phrase below the belt comes from, | :15:39. | :15:43. | |
anything above the white waistband is there, anything below it is | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
illegal. That is why it has to be visible. Not just the referee being | :15:48. | :15:54. | |
overly officious, it does serve a purpose. | :15:55. | :16:11. | |
Michaela Walsh stepping off to the side, happily to a loud Sarah Joy | :16:12. | :16:23. | |
Rae to run into her. -- to allow. Michaela Walsh a three-time national | :16:24. | :16:24. | |
champion. Won and national title at 57 | :16:25. | :16:47. | |
kilograms in 2013. Sarah Joy Rae is the Swiss national champion of | :16:48. | :16:51. | |
2012. She is representing Jamaica in these Commonwealth Games. | :16:52. | :16:56. | |
commanding round from Michaela Walsh. There is a marked difference | :16:57. | :17:03. | |
in distinction in terms of the Walsh. There is a marked difference | :17:04. | :17:06. | |
quality of the shops that are going in. -- shots. Sarah Joy Rae leaning | :17:07. | :17:15. | |
quality of the shops that are going forward with her chin in the air, | :17:16. | :17:19. | |
inviting Michaela Walsh to land those solid shots. Really fast | :17:20. | :17:26. | |
hands, very difficult for Sarah Joy Rae to contender. -- to contender | :17:27. | :17:39. | |
with -- to contend with. It is an uphill struggle now for Sarah Joy | :17:40. | :17:46. | |
Rae of Jamaica. Conceded the opening three rounds. Michaela Walsh has | :17:47. | :17:54. | |
demonstrated that she is an impressive offering general. -- ring | :17:55. | :18:04. | |
general. Her greater experience has come to the fore. We are into the | :18:05. | :18:12. | |
fourth and final round. Sarah Joy Rae of Jamaica. Takes a hard left | :18:13. | :18:25. | |
hand, and another one. One was a court shoe -- corkscrew shot. I can | :18:26. | :18:42. | |
see elements of Katie Taylor in her boxing, dare I say it. I am sure she | :18:43. | :18:49. | |
would have been one of her role models. Lovelace Dale, relaxed and | :18:50. | :18:59. | |
fast hands -- Lovelace style. Just increasing the distance, Sarah Joy | :19:00. | :19:05. | |
Rae is struggling to close it effectively. Having no success, when | :19:06. | :19:13. | |
she is trying to land a short it is inevitably where Michaela Walsh wars | :19:14. | :19:18. | |
and not where she currently is. Huw Jones of the feet and legs from | :19:19. | :19:26. | |
Michaela Walsh. Bash Mac -- beautiful use of. Accurate pot shots | :19:27. | :19:38. | |
continuing to come from the globs of Michaela Walsh. -- | :19:39. | :19:54. | |
Sarah Joy Rae reduced to chasing shadows here in the boxing ring. | :19:55. | :20:04. | |
There is the bell. Nice to see that embrace but there can be no doubt | :20:05. | :20:11. | |
about the vector and little doubt about you has progressed -- about | :20:12. | :20:12. | |
the vector the key to amateur boxing, it is a | :20:13. | :20:27. | |
physical game of chess, force your opponent to miss, and capitalise on | :20:28. | :20:41. | |
that by landing your own shots. Nice to see the mutual respect between | :20:42. | :20:49. | |
the boxers. The winner by unanimous decision and through to the | :20:50. | :20:52. | |
semifinal, in the blue corner, representing Northern Ireland, | :20:53. | :21:07. | |
Michaela Walsh. Delight: among the Northern Ireland supporters. I | :21:08. | :21:16. | |
unanimous winner over Sarah Joy Rae of Jamaica. She is receiving a warm | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
reception from the crowd, but this woman was better in every department | :21:21. | :21:24. | |
and that is the moment of the announcement which confirms her as a | :21:25. | :21:27. | |
medallist in the Commonwealth Games boxing tournament, the first there | :21:28. | :21:31. | |
has ever been in the history of the Commonwealth Games. Michaela Walsh | :21:32. | :21:37. | |
has secured herself some medal hardware, now the question remains | :21:38. | :21:45. | |
which colour will it be? Well done. Thank you very much. I did not know | :21:46. | :21:52. | |
nothing about it, I had a slow start, she was very awkward, very | :21:53. | :21:59. | |
big. If I had done what I had done in the last round I would have run | :22:00. | :22:04. | |
it handily enough, but I am happy with my performance and I have made | :22:05. | :22:07. | |
history by being the first ever medallist. I stuck to the task, I | :22:08. | :22:12. | |
had to change my tactics and they could not get my punches off, but I | :22:13. | :22:17. | |
changed the tactics and I won the fight. You fought at 54 in the | :22:18. | :22:23. | |
Europeans, here you are at 51, is that the struggle, what have you cut | :22:24. | :22:29. | |
out of your diet to make the wait? I'd boxed 37 last year. -- 57. It | :22:30. | :22:38. | |
was decided I had to go up or down, I am a hard trainer so I decided to | :22:39. | :22:42. | |
go down. I can give you my diet, that is a secret. Can't get much | :22:43. | :22:52. | |
lower than the scan you? I might do 48 next year! That is a worry to | :22:53. | :23:05. | |
everyone else. Thank you. Thank you. We await the introductions for the | :23:06. | :23:07. | |
second quarterfinal. In the red corner, representing | :23:08. | :23:26. | |
India, Pinki Rani. In the blue corner representing part | :23:27. | :23:46. | |
New Guinea, Jacquiline Wangi A. -- Papua New Guinea. The referee is | :23:47. | :23:59. | |
from Wales, Mr Mark Williams. REFEREE: | :24:00. | :24:08. | |
The referee will issue the final instructions. The second | :24:09. | :24:13. | |
quarterfinal in the women's lightweight tournament. -- | :24:14. | :24:17. | |
flyweight. The boxer winning blue from Papua | :24:18. | :24:40. | |
New Guinea, Jacquiline Wangi, 18 years old, the national champion. | :24:41. | :24:47. | |
The opponent is the 11th ranked boxer anyone all died 48 kilograms, | :24:48. | :24:52. | |
hugely accomplished, and you can see from the start she has made that she | :24:53. | :24:55. | |
knows her way around the boxing ring. That is Pinki Rani of India. | :24:56. | :25:07. | |
Pinki Rani, to give you an idea of her ability and experience, she is | :25:08. | :25:12. | |
the reason, as she gets another hard right cross, she is the reason why | :25:13. | :25:20. | |
the legendary Millicom is not here representing India. She eliminated | :25:21. | :25:28. | |
her at the Indian selection trials and that is how she secured her | :25:29. | :25:32. | |
place. That is not a front Jacquiline Wangi. -- that is not a | :25:33. | :25:46. | |
-- naughty. An element of frustration the front Jacquiline | :25:47. | :25:49. | |
Wangi, she is under pressure and has been since the first bell. Pinki | :25:50. | :25:56. | |
Rani is relentless in her pressure, not giving Jacquiline Wangi and | :25:57. | :26:02. | |
moments rest. Combinations landing flush on the chin of Jacquiline | :26:03. | :26:12. | |
Wangi. Pinki Rani is a wonderfully versatile and accomplished boxer. | :26:13. | :26:16. | |
The gap in the experience is considerable. The gap in ability as | :26:17. | :26:28. | |
well. Strong opening round for Pinki Rani. | :26:29. | :26:44. | |
We have heard good things about Pinki Rani before she came to this | :26:45. | :26:54. | |
competition, I think we can see why she was kept. Hardly seems to be out | :26:55. | :27:00. | |
of breath after throwing numerous combinations. -- she was tipped. | :27:01. | :27:12. | |
That was a bit naughty front Jacquiline Wangi. -- from. | :27:13. | :27:28. | |
So, we move into the second round. The boxer in blue, Jacquiline | :27:29. | :27:37. | |
Wangi, from Papua New Guinea, 28 years of age. The boxer wearing red, | :27:38. | :27:44. | |
Pinki Rani, from India. She began the opening round in a manner in | :27:45. | :27:48. | |
which he is demonstrating the second. Beautiful straight shots | :27:49. | :27:53. | |
going in. She went down to the body effectively. Only a couple of | :27:54. | :28:00. | |
punches getting through, but every time Jacquiline Wangi tries | :28:01. | :28:04. | |
punches getting through, but every her shots away, she is paying | :28:05. | :28:06. | |
punches getting through, but every heavy price by Pinki Rani. She is | :28:07. | :28:10. | |
being beaten to the punch every time by Pinki Rani. Jacquiline Wangi is | :28:11. | :28:16. | |
just think too far out of range, she is inviting Pinki Rani to capture, | :28:17. | :28:21. | |
which he is doing, nearly every time. Beautiful, swift right hand | :28:22. | :28:32. | |
counter by Pinki Rani. That is a howitzer upper right-hand. Pinki | :28:33. | :28:42. | |
Rani shoves Jacquiline Wangi back to the turnbuckle. She is just allowing | :28:43. | :28:52. | |
Pinki Rani free shots. Good rear hand thereby Jacquiline | :28:53. | :29:05. | |
Wangi, but the reply straightaway by Pinki Rani. The variety that is on | :29:06. | :29:16. | |
display is wonderful to behold. Assuming you are Jacquiline Wangi, | :29:17. | :29:23. | |
that is, because she is the boxer on the receiving end of it. The bell | :29:24. | :29:34. | |
then ends the second round. There can be little doubt as to which | :29:35. | :29:39. | |
direction the round will be scored in. Again, it is the volume of shots | :29:40. | :29:43. | |
that does it for Pinki Rani. Catching her at will. Hands dropping | :29:44. | :29:50. | |
down at your hips. Another very capable round by Pinki Rani. The | :29:51. | :30:03. | |
judges scoring it as 10-8 round. The scoring system does not resemble the | :30:04. | :30:07. | |
professional code of boxing. So, to rounds completed, to rounds | :30:08. | :30:28. | |
to go. Pinki Rani is putting on a | :30:29. | :30:46. | |
masterclass here. Jacquiline Wangi is getting a boxing lesson, the | :30:47. | :30:56. | |
boxer in blue. Pinki Rani is up on her toes, has a nice rhythm, nice | :30:57. | :31:04. | |
balance. Jacquiline Wangi is attempting to give it a go. A good | :31:05. | :31:09. | |
right hand by Jacquiline Wangi. Short on that occasion. Pinki Rani | :31:10. | :31:25. | |
is demonstrating effective footwork. She has to keep urging dying, she is | :31:26. | :31:29. | |
offering Pinki Rani free shots. She has to get her chin on her chest, | :31:30. | :31:35. | |
get her hands up. She is making it easy for it Pinki Rani to get her | :31:36. | :31:44. | |
shots. All too often, Pinki Rani is finding an inviting home for her | :31:45. | :31:53. | |
shots, from the left and the right. This is the opening bout for both of | :31:54. | :31:58. | |
these boxers. Jacquiline Wangi wasn't really paying attention | :31:59. | :32:06. | |
there. Again, for the second time during the course of the bites, | :32:07. | :32:11. | |
Jacquiline Wangi is not heeding the instructions from the referee. | :32:12. | :32:17. | |
Helping herself to every shot. Maybe she didn't hear the instructions. I | :32:18. | :32:23. | |
think it is frustration. She is struggling to land many shots. Pure | :32:24. | :32:36. | |
frustration, I think. It is the opening bout for both of these | :32:37. | :32:43. | |
boxers here at the tournament. Pinki Rani has just settled into her | :32:44. | :32:46. | |
rhythm instantly. Jacquiline Wangi has not been allowed to settle into | :32:47. | :32:53. | |
her rhythm. Looking at Pinki Rani in the corner, she doesn't look out of | :32:54. | :32:59. | |
breath, regardless of the fact she has hardly stopped throwing her | :33:00. | :33:09. | |
punches. Another hugely decisive round for the Indian boxer. Looking | :33:10. | :33:16. | |
as comfortable and composed as could possibly be. It is all one-way | :33:17. | :33:28. | |
traffic in favour of Pinki Rani. Into the fourth and final round. The | :33:29. | :33:36. | |
boxer wearing red, Pinki Rani... A standing count. The | :33:37. | :33:40. | |
boxer wearing red, Pinki Rani... A aggression and clean punching is | :33:41. | :33:44. | |
coming from the boxer in red, Pinki Rani. A standing count administered | :33:45. | :33:49. | |
against Jacquiline Wangi. The hard shots continued to thunder home, | :33:50. | :33:55. | |
particularly from the right hand of Pinki Rani. Is she going for a | :33:56. | :34:03. | |
stoppage? Jacquiline Wangi is taking lots of risks. Her defence is so | :34:04. | :34:11. | |
low. When your opponent has such a high work rate, you need to hold | :34:12. | :34:16. | |
your hands up to protect yourself. The right hand driven in by | :34:17. | :34:22. | |
Jacquiline Wangi, but immediately countered by a left over the top | :34:23. | :34:34. | |
from Pinki Rani. Jacquiline Wangi, two-time national champion of Papua | :34:35. | :34:39. | |
New Guinea, but the 18-year-old is really struggling to stay at the | :34:40. | :34:43. | |
races with Pinki Rani, the 24-year-old from India. The boxers | :34:44. | :34:54. | |
are exchanging right hands. Another hard right from Jacquiline Wangi. | :34:55. | :34:58. | |
She is looking for single shot success. Right contour -- a right | :34:59. | :35:05. | |
counterattack by Pinki Rani. We are approaching the conclusion. A | :35:06. | :35:29. | |
jolting left from Pinki Rani. No doubt about who won the contest. | :35:30. | :35:33. | |
Pinki Rani raises her arm immediately. She returns to her | :35:34. | :35:42. | |
corner. Certainly, she is victorious. You have to credit the | :35:43. | :35:50. | |
courage of Jacquiline Wangi, she never give up. Hugely proficient | :35:51. | :36:01. | |
performance by the Indian boxer. Incredible angles, incredible | :36:02. | :36:08. | |
defences. One to watch in this competition, Pinki Rani from India. | :36:09. | :36:15. | |
The right arm went up immediately from Pinki Rani. Now, the formality | :36:16. | :36:24. | |
of the verdict. A unanimous decision in favour of the winner, true to the | :36:25. | :36:31. | |
semifinals, in the red corner, representing India, Pinki Rani. So, | :36:32. | :36:41. | |
the opening bites and opening deck jury for Pinki Rani. It is enough to | :36:42. | :36:50. | |
secure her place on the podium. She is three to the medal stages. | :36:51. | :36:59. | |

here at the SECC. Canada's Mandy Bujold. 27 years of age. There is | :37:55. | :38:07. | |
her opponent, Kristy Harris from Australia. So, Mandy Bujold from | :38:08. | :38:13. | |
Canada wearing red, Kristy Harris of this wearing blue. Kristy Harris | :38:14. | :38:18. | |
boxing in her second bite of the Commonwealth Games. She was hugely | :38:19. | :38:27. | |
impressive in her opener. Mandy Bujold, cheap. Buy into this round. | :38:28. | :38:36. | |
Let's get official introductions. Quarterfinal number three in the | :38:37. | :38:39. | |
woman's flyweight, 48 kilograms to 51 kilograms competition. It is for | :38:40. | :38:52. | |
a two-minute rounds of boxing. Boxing out of the red corner, | :38:53. | :38:53. | |
representing Canada, Mandy Bujold! In the blue corner, representing | :38:54. | :39:06. | |
Australia, Kristy Harris! So, a final check of the equipment. | :39:07. | :39:25. | |
Kristy Harris in the blue corner. A handshake with the coaches. The | :39:26. | :39:34. | |
referee issues the final pre-fight instructions. | :39:35. | :39:48. | |
So, the opening bell sounds. The flyweight quarterfinal between the | :39:49. | :39:56. | |
boxer wearing red, Mandy Bujold, 27 years of age. Her opponent, from | :39:57. | :40:05. | |
Canada, 21-year-olds... Sorry, from Australia, wearing blue, from | :40:06. | :40:11. | |
Australia, Kristy Harris. Two quality operators. | :40:12. | :40:31. | |
Just a bit of fencing between the two boxers. As they clash, they are | :40:32. | :40:42. | |
both touring combinations, quick hands. Mandy Bujold just staying out | :40:43. | :40:49. | |
of range nicely. Coming back with your own counterattacks. Kristy | :40:50. | :40:53. | |
Harris, good footwork, keeping out of range. Not a lock to choose | :40:54. | :40:59. | |
between them. -- a lot. Five successive national titles for | :41:00. | :41:20. | |
Mandy Bujold. So, Kristy Harris from Australia is | :41:21. | :41:31. | |
on the front foot. Both boxers are having moments of | :41:32. | :41:52. | |
success. Not a great deal to choose between them in the first round. | :41:53. | :41:59. | |
Both boxers are waiting for each other to lead. Both throwing furious | :42:00. | :42:11. | |
combinations. Mandy Bujold just capturing Kristy Harris there on the | :42:12. | :42:15. | |
inside. Both of them fighting for the centre of the ring. Neither one | :42:16. | :42:20. | |
of them was dominant. Let's see what the judges have to say. All three of | :42:21. | :42:27. | |
them have favoured Mandy Bujold. So, the opening round gone in unanimous | :42:28. | :42:35. | |
fashion to this boxer from Canada. It was keenly contested, make no | :42:36. | :42:46. | |
mistake. So, Kristy Harris, maybe a slight tactical adjustment. | :42:47. | :42:59. | |
Kristy Harris, occupying the centre of the ring, trying to get Mandy | :43:00. | :43:07. | |
Bujold to the ropes. Good angles thereby the experienced Canadian. | :43:08. | :43:22. | |
Both boxers very capable. Mandy Bujold just going to allow harass to | :43:23. | :43:30. | |
come in so she can capture on the counter. -- catch her. | :43:31. | :43:47. | |
looking to catch Kirsty Harris on the counter and move away into this | :43:48. | :44:07. | |
base. Beautiful combination there. -- into the space. Three-time | :44:08. | :44:16. | |
participant in the World Championships is Mandy Bujold. | :44:17. | :44:28. | |
Beautiful left hand on that occasion from Mandy Bujold. | :44:29. | :44:36. | |
Harris, to be fair, not respecting the experience, she is giving it a | :44:37. | :44:47. | |
good going, attempting to push Mandy Bujold back onto the ropes and | :44:48. | :44:58. | |
attempt her own combinations. Harris is committed, continues to give it a | :44:59. | :45:05. | |
go. For my money it is Mandy Bujold that took that around. -- round. | :45:06. | :45:17. | |
Lovely left hook, then just skips off to the left out of range, | :45:18. | :45:21. | |
conscious not to be kept on the ropes. All three judges once again | :45:22. | :45:33. | |
favouring the Canadian. They will be happy in that corner. Opening bout | :45:34. | :45:40. | |
of the tournament for Mandy Bujold and she has found her rhythm | :45:41. | :45:50. | |
instantly. We move into the second half of this 51 kilograms flyweight | :45:51. | :46:00. | |
quarterfinal. The boxer in red, Mandy Bujold of Canada, has taken | :46:01. | :46:06. | |
the opening two rounds in unanimous fashion. Just going to the left, | :46:07. | :46:14. | |
always staying out of punching range. Kirsty Harris struggling to | :46:15. | :46:29. | |
get any clean, successful fence attacks. | :46:30. | :46:52. | |
Stopped in her tracks and through a good right hand to the solar plexus. | :46:53. | :46:56. | |
-- thrown. Mandy Bujold continuing to box | :46:57. | :47:18. | |
really effectively on the defensive. Given she has taken the opening two | :47:19. | :47:21. | |
rounds there is no need to change our tactics. She's having a fair | :47:22. | :47:29. | |
amount of success as she engages Mandy Bujold in success, but overall | :47:30. | :47:34. | |
the quality is coming from the boxer on the back foot. Good tactics from | :47:35. | :47:41. | |
the Canadian, not allowing Kirsty Harris to set her feet. Another good | :47:42. | :47:52. | |
round by Mandy Bujold. Three rounds down, Kirsty Harris the talented | :47:53. | :47:57. | |
21-year-old really up against it. Some exchanges there, Kirsty Harris | :47:58. | :48:11. | |
getting through with her own shots, slightly more shots in that round, | :48:12. | :48:17. | |
but once again all three judges favouring Mandy Bujold. One win away | :48:18. | :48:33. | |
from the place on the medal rostrum. | :48:34. | :48:47. | |
Moving into the final round, the boxer in blue is Kirsty Harris of | :48:48. | :48:54. | |
Australia, she has conceded all three rounds so far in unanimous | :48:55. | :48:59. | |
fashion to the boxer in red, Mandy Bujold of Canada. Very skilful | :49:00. | :49:04. | |
boxer, Kirsty Harris, but she is meeting at hugely skilled and | :49:05. | :49:09. | |
experienced and accomplished at the Surrey. -- opponent. Kirsty Harris | :49:10. | :49:23. | |
has had her moments of success but they have been overshadowed by a | :49:24. | :49:28. | |
greater volume of cleaner shots from the boxer in red. Kirsty | :49:29. | :49:41. | |
as she comes off she comes off with combinations, but -- Mandy Bujold. | :49:42. | :49:57. | |
Right hand to the body followed by a right hand to the head from Mandy | :49:58. | :50:02. | |
Bujold. Kirsty Harris remaining in hot pursuit. Two shots to the body | :50:03. | :50:13. | |
and then a left hook to the head, Harris having moments of her own | :50:14. | :50:20. | |
success but generally Mandy Bujold having the first and final word in | :50:21. | :50:26. | |
any exchange. Harris is giving it everything she has got to try and | :50:27. | :50:32. | |
close down the elusive Canadian. She just needs to continue pushing Mandy | :50:33. | :50:37. | |
Bujold back to the ropes, try to cut her off, when she gets the | :50:38. | :50:42. | |
opportunity to land the combinations. Our furious exchange | :50:43. | :50:56. | |
to conclude the contest. One suspects she has secured her passage | :50:57. | :51:00. | |
through to the semifinal stage at the expense of Kirsty Harris of | :51:01. | :51:04. | |
Australia. Fully committed performance however. Demonstrated | :51:05. | :51:11. | |
the skill that she has, but not enough to overcome that possessed by | :51:12. | :51:17. | |
the Canadian. That was a good bout to watch, good technique by both | :51:18. | :51:23. | |
boxers. Nice defences, nice combinations. But Mandy Bujold used | :51:24. | :51:32. | |
her experience to fill effect and I think secures the victory. The | :51:33. | :51:42. | |
judges scorecards, the winner by unanimous decision and now through | :51:43. | :51:46. | |
to the semifinal, in the red corner, from Canada, Mandy Bujold. The | :51:47. | :51:55. | |
Canadian through to the semifinal with an impressive performance over | :51:56. | :51:58. | |
the talented 21-year-old from Australia, Kirsty Harris. | :51:59. | :52:10. | |
Acknowledges the crowd and leaves the boxing ring ahead of the | :52:11. | :52:20. | |
semifinal. Congratulations to Mandy Bujold, now we have three of the | :52:21. | :52:26. | |
semifinalists, who will be the fourth? Nicola Adams is coming to | :52:27. | :52:32. | |
the ring pretty soon, John Enderby Dell -- John Inverdale is there, I | :52:33. | :52:36. | |
imagine the roof will come off when Nicola Adams comes into the ring? | :52:37. | :52:42. | |
Absolutely correct, it is strange, in the same way that Paralympic | :52:43. | :52:46. | |
events were introduced into the regular programme here, it seems so | :52:47. | :52:51. | |
normal, why was it not always like that, it is strange, within a few | :52:52. | :52:56. | |
days of having the women's boxing events Inc operated into the men's | :52:57. | :53:00. | |
programme it is a case of why was it such a big deal in the first place? | :53:01. | :53:05. | |
One of the things which has allowed that to happen so quickly is Nicola | :53:06. | :53:09. | |
Adams. It has gone very quiet. They are building the tension because she | :53:10. | :53:14. | |
not quite single-handedly but she has been, there is a real tease on | :53:15. | :53:19. | |
the tannoy here who is keeping the tension going but this is the | :53:20. | :53:23. | |
build-up to Nicola Adams coming in. Nicola Adams has become such a big | :53:24. | :53:38. | |
draw, she is the single biggest draw in the women's competition, you can | :53:39. | :53:42. | |
see a standing ovation from a lot of people in this auditorium. We had a | :53:43. | :53:53. | |
half empty auditorium for her first round, but today it is packed. There | :53:54. | :54:00. | |
is a real anticipation of seeing the Olympic champion, she has only lost | :54:01. | :54:08. | |
one fight in the two years. You would expect her to win this fairly | :54:09. | :54:13. | |
emphatically. Everyone is looking for a tremendous exhibition. | :54:14. | :54:21. | |
The familiar figure of Nicola Adams I know it in the cloud -- | :54:22. | :54:29. | |
acknowledging the crowd. Her opponent from Sri Lanka. | :54:30. | :54:54. | |
Ladies and gentlemen, time to meet the boxers. In the red corner, | :54:55. | :55:04. | |
representing England's, Nicola Adams. | :55:05. | :55:16. | |
And I crossed the boxing ring in the blue corner, representing Sri Lanka | :55:17. | :55:20. | |
Erandi De Silva R. The referee is from Denmark. Four | :55:21. | :55:44. | |
two minute rounds. Nicola Adams now switches on to the business of this | :55:45. | :55:55. | |
51 kilograms flyweight quarterfinal. This is the first of a scheduled | :55:56. | :55:57. | |
four two minute rounds. Three-time runner-up at the National | :55:58. | :56:31. | |
Championships, Erandi De Silva. She is certainly giving it a go, she is | :56:32. | :56:36. | |
taking it to Adams, but at the moment Adam is that little bit | :56:37. | :56:44. | |
sharper. Not allowing Erandi De Silva to settle. Perpetual motion | :56:45. | :56:51. | |
again. The right hand from Erandi De Silva. Scoring with snaking straight | :56:52. | :57:01. | |
shots. Good left hand to the body before falling into a clinch. | :57:02. | :57:18. | |
strong piston-like shots. That jab is so long and snaking, it is so | :57:19. | :57:25. | |
deceptively long. You think she is out of range and she catches you | :57:26. | :57:31. | |
with that jab every time. The left hook got through from Da Silva. | :57:32. | :57:40. | |
They're being instructed to break. What a left hand from Nicola Adams! | :57:41. | :57:48. | |
Da Silva sent to the canvas, courtesy of a gunshot of a left hook | :57:49. | :57:54. | |
from Nicola Adams just before the bell. There are those piston shots | :57:55. | :57:59. | |
there. She can punch, this girl, my goodness, she is so strong. Da Silva | :58:00. | :58:06. | |
has found herself a lit p trip to the -- little trip to the canvas. It | :58:07. | :58:17. | |
was the left hand, the final shot of a three-punch combination. The final | :58:18. | :58:28. | |
left hand right on the button. She took a count for her troubles just | :58:29. | :58:33. | |
as the bell sounded to conclude round one. Well two judges scoring | :58:34. | :58:43. | |
it 10-8 in favour of Adams and third scoring it 10-9. But a very decisive | :58:44. | :58:47. | |
opening round by the young lady from England. | :58:48. | :58:56. | |
We move into the second round. Terrific atmosphere here at the | :58:57. | :59:04. | |
SECC. Nicola Adams took the opening round in decisive fashion. Ending it | :59:05. | :59:07. | |
by dropping de Silva from Sri Lanka. Such Rithen by Nicola Adams and | :59:08. | :59:33. | |
still by one of her first coaches, whose main focus is footwork and she | :59:34. | :59:41. | |
has benefitted from that throughout her career. She allows de Silva to | :59:42. | :59:46. | |
miss and then hits her with the counter shot. | :59:47. | :59:54. | |
Again good use of the feet. De Silva did have her moments of success in | :59:55. | :00:40. | |
the previous exchange. We are approaching the final 30 seconds. | :00:41. | :01:26. | |
Such strong shots. The left jab is a really jolting weapon | :01:27. | :01:28. | |
The screw shot snapping the head back of de Silva. Excellent | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
combinations. That is why she is an Olympic champion. All the judges | :01:32. | :01:39. | |
going for Nicola Adams. No trip to the canvas by de Silva during that | :01:40. | :01:40. | |
second round. We move into the second half of this | :01:41. | :01:57. | |
fly weight quarter-final. A place and a medal podium is the place that | :01:58. | :02:07. | |
awaits the victor and Adams is in control. She floored de Silva in the | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
first round. She is now turning southpaw. So capable, Nicola Adams, | :02:13. | :02:27. | |
she can box just as easily ot southpaw or orthodox stance. She | :02:28. | :02:38. | |
uses it to great effect and confuses her opponent. Now she tastes blood | :02:39. | :03:08. | |
and shes going to keep her there on the ropes. De Silva keen to initiate | :03:09. | :03:52. | |
a clinch. Because that shot sent her staggering back. She wants some | :03:53. | :04:23. | |
respite from the precise punching from Nicola Adams. De Silva is still | :04:24. | :04:54. | |
throwing back. She is still attempting to throw the shots to | :04:55. | :05:05. | |
Nicola. Nicola Adams, not sure what that Sri Lankan corner can say to | :05:06. | :05:15. | |
turn the tie. She has found her rift m in this bout. Expect de Silva to | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
come out charging hard in the fourth and final round. She has conceded | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
each of the opening three rounts. The punching power can be a great | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
deterrent. Nicola Adams with accurate precise punching. De Silva | :05:29. | :05:30. | |
on to the back foot after that initial foreray. She was shooting | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
from the belt line on that occasion. Again hot shot success from the left | :05:34. | :05:40. | |
hand of Nicola Adams. Now she has switched back to orthodox. Adams | :05:41. | :05:56. | |
upping the tempo as she pushes her opponent back. De Silva hanging on. | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
Nicola finishing the combination and giving her plenty of space back sboo | :06:01. | :06:10. | |
the centre of the ring. -- into the centre of the ring. Adams got | :06:11. | :06:17. | |
through a with a corking right hand and the head of de Silva went side | :06:18. | :06:24. | |
ways. She is now covering up. She has been put under increased and | :06:25. | :06:33. | |
sustained pressure from Adams. She now switches back to the orthodox | :06:34. | :06:43. | |
stance. She could have kept the pressure on. But she knows she has | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
done enough. Wow! Another incredible jab. Heading the head of de Silva | :06:48. | :06:55. | |
back. The shuffle from Adams. She gets on her bike and concludes the | :06:56. | :07:05. | |
contest out of punching range of de Silva and Nicola Adams just drinking | :07:06. | :07:14. | |
up the applause and encouragement from the crowd. Congratulations from | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
the Sri Lanka can's corner. Nicola Adams has surely just secured her | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
place in the medal stage of the Commonwealth Games. That was a off | :07:23. | :07:30. | |
with display. De Silva continued to compete until the final bell. But | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
the variety from Adams, shots from every angle, both body and head. | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
Look at that for a snaking cork screw left and then two punches | :07:39. | :07:40. | |
followed it from the left and right. Nothing short of a boxing lesson | :07:41. | :07:47. | |
there from Nicola Adams. Incredible punches and resourcefulness she | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
showed. Incredible footwork. Another excellent performance from Nicola | :07:53. | :07:58. | |
Adams. Please show your appreciation for both boxers in the rick -- ring. | :07:59. | :08:05. | |
The win bier a unanimous decision and through the semi final - in the | :08:06. | :08:14. | |
red corner from England... The golden girl, Nicola Adams, MBE! | :08:15. | :08:22. | |
Nicola Adams receives a standing ovation from the crowd at the SECC. | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
She has guaranteed herself a Commonwealth Games medal. What | :08:27. | :08:32. | |
colour will it be? Will it be the English national anthem playing on | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
medal day? She has already booked a place in the final four. There will | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
be a medal of some description. But the boxer from Leeds will be aiming | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
for nothing less than gold in the fly weight decision. That is the | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
moment it was confirmed and a bow to all sides of the arena. And now the | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
familiar celebration, acknowledging that she is through to the medal | :08:57. | :09:03. | |
stages of Commonwealth Games with a punch-perfect display against Errani | :09:04. | :09:12. | |
de Silva from Sri Lanka. Vail the best people in all sports make it | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
look easy. You make boxing look so easy. It is because I love the | :09:18. | :09:23. | |
sport. I have a passion for it and I love every -- everything about it. I | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
have the skill and speed. It is beautiful. I felt I was watching | :09:29. | :09:33. | |
Bolt, when he is on the track, it is not just about running, it is about | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
entertain, how important is that to you? Yes, I love to entertain the | :09:39. | :09:48. | |
crowd. And you have the medal. Yes and creating history all the time. | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
It almost feels, we keep saying it is the first time women have been in | :09:53. | :09:55. | |
the Commonwealth Games boxing, but it feels like that is almost history | :09:56. | :10:01. | |
already, that you're established. Is that how you feel after two fights? | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
Yes I feel women's boxing has moved on since 2012 and this is just the | :10:07. | :10:12. | |
beginning. Well done. See you in a couple of days. Thank you. Who would | :10:13. | :10:26. | |
bet against Nicola Adams taking another medal. Boxing continues on | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
the red button. But here we have still got live hockey and wrestling | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
and table tennis before 7 o'clock. But before that, let's take an | :10:35. | :10:37. | |
update of the news. And it's about time | :10:38. | :10:46. | |
that I did something about that. Back to Glasgow after an update. | :10:47. | :11:36. | |
This man was shot by police in 2005, today a former officer is to be | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
charged with his murder. One of the word's deadliest virus is a danger | :11:43. | :11:44. | |
to the UK. A disgraceful act - that is what the UN called the shelling | :11:45. | :12:00. | |
of a school in Gaza. Israel denies targeting schools. Usain Bolt has | :12:01. | :12:09. | |
rubbished a story that he has Royal he rubbished the Commonwealth Games. | :12:10. | :12:16. | |
And now back to Dougy in Glasgow. Yeah, I am looking for | :12:17. | :12:23. | |
a Prince Charming. I don't think I'm ugly, but I don't | :12:24. | :12:25. | |
think I'm, like, really pretty. I say, "You've got something | :12:26. | :12:29. | |
on your bum." "Really?" And I say, And welcome back to our coverage of | :12:30. | :13:33. | |
Glasgow 2014. The boxing continues on the website. Now on BBC Three, it | :13:34. | :13:42. | |
is crunch time in the women's hockey. One team still to go | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
through. Either South Africa or India. One will go through, one will | :13:48. | :13:55. | |
go home. This kicked off 15 minutes ago. Let's join the commentary live | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
from the National hockey Centre at Glasgow Rob Green to see how this | :14:01. | :14:02. | |
pans out. COMMENTATOR: It came off the stick | :14:03. | :14:19. | |
of the Indian defender. It cost them. Putting it quickly into the | :14:20. | :14:34. | |
circle. On the sideline. Keep going. She doesn't understand. It is close | :14:35. | :14:55. | |
enough, I guess. Cox off-loads to blanch. It is breaking down, the | :14:56. | :15:19. | |
tackling of India is very good. The skill level is so high. South Africa | :15:20. | :15:25. | |
are trying to get their free running going but India are very good at | :15:26. | :15:28. | |
breaking down the first phase of play. A dream card. -- Rob | :15:29. | :16:00. | |
Russell finds Damon. And they clash. Just a clash. Damon just getting | :16:01. | :16:15. | |
flawed. -- floored Full. That is a lovely ball. If you can | :16:16. | :16:47. | |
deliver a bouncing ball into the circle, it is really difficult for | :16:48. | :16:56. | |
the defenders. Bright from the baseline. Waiting for South Africa. | :16:57. | :17:08. | |
It is deep and it is bright and she scores. Perfect execution from South | :17:09. | :17:23. | |
Africa. A beautiful little move. Completely exposes the Indian | :17:24. | :17:26. | |
defence. The goalkeeper comes quite higher. It leaves a big hole at the | :17:27. | :17:37. | |
back. An easy goal. That is where South Africa exploited New Zealand | :17:38. | :17:41. | |
although New Zealand took that match 2-1. Bright again at the exposed | :17:42. | :17:51. | |
post. 1-0 South Africa, 15 minutes gone in the first half. What will be | :17:52. | :18:16. | |
the reply? It was an expensive green card. When India had ten men, they | :18:17. | :18:33. | |
shipped a goal. Evans. The shot into the circle is now exited. Six Indian | :18:34. | :18:39. | |
players surrounding the lone ball-carrier. Straight through, one | :18:40. | :19:02. | |
hand. Here please. In line with where it hit your foot. Into free | :19:03. | :19:11. | |
territory. Good option out of defence. India are backpedalling. A | :19:12. | :19:22. | |
really good option, putting the ball into the space on the underside of | :19:23. | :19:31. | |
the circle. This is the end result. Pressure back on India after getting | :19:32. | :20:07. | |
that goal. Cox, the captain. Now Bright. Russell inside. A chance. | :20:08. | :20:19. | |
Speculating. The goalkeeper comes off her line three steps and saves. | :20:20. | :20:27. | |
A bit of skill, getting that shot away quickly. Bright into the | :20:28. | :20:41. | |
circle. Another shot at goal and a great save. The ball firmly blunted | :20:42. | :20:59. | |
out. A terrible area of the park. Just trying to draw a foul. Cleverly | :21:00. | :21:05. | |
done. Not the prettiest bit of hockey you are ever going to see but | :21:06. | :21:13. | |
effective. I think the difference is the experience of these teams. South | :21:14. | :21:20. | |
Africa is hugely experienced. Average age 25. Against a team whose | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
average age is 21 and haven't played too much together. Shot at goal. | :21:26. | :21:44. | |
Russell, it was. It is a bit like the Pan-American games. Although | :21:45. | :21:52. | |
they have got all of the skills, at the moment, South Africa's physical | :21:53. | :21:59. | |
presence in their face is causing them all sorts of trouble. He looks | :22:00. | :22:07. | |
pretty calm. A wonderful lead for his side. The thing about India is | :22:08. | :22:16. | |
that they can turn the screw just like that. They have players that | :22:17. | :22:20. | |
can unlock the defence just like that. A little movement up the right | :22:21. | :22:32. | |
flank. Towards the circle now. A free hit. Bright is social. -- so | :22:33. | :22:57. | |
strong. Bright picks up the rebound. From deep defence, India cleverly | :22:58. | :23:02. | |
through the midfield. A lunge tackle from Cox. And again. Misdirected. | :23:03. | :23:16. | |
Gets the foot. The skipper off-loads. Looking for a foot, | :23:17. | :23:31. | |
maybe. Penalty corner. What a lovely bit of skill, that was. Rumpole does | :23:32. | :23:47. | |
a little move forward. Just jumped too late. | :23:48. | :23:54. | |
South Africa ready to face what India will put in here. Irani the | :23:55. | :24:17. | |
captain ready to inject now. Number 23 does the job for South Africa | :24:18. | :24:34. | |
covering the shot. Gets the free hit. They want it inside because you | :24:35. | :24:39. | |
cannot direct its rate into the circle. It has to be on the spot. | :24:40. | :24:44. | |
Outside the 25, you can do what you'll credit. That is why they were | :24:45. | :25:01. | |
so keen. This is a card. Stopping forward momentum. Two minutes. That | :25:02. | :25:19. | |
is the second green card for India. Here is another one. That is going | :25:20. | :25:29. | |
to be serious. It is fair enough. They have been warned. India are now | :25:30. | :25:35. | |
playing with nine players. They surge through. Can they take | :25:36. | :25:39. | |
advantage of an India side with just nine players on the pitch? You are | :25:40. | :25:48. | |
not going to do it like that by trying to juggle through what is | :25:49. | :25:54. | |
left of the India team. It is a question of drawing them into one | :25:55. | :25:57. | |
area and then a quick transfer to get in the space behind. Look at | :25:58. | :26:05. | |
that. Great eye. And the expert cross. She is having a fine game but | :26:06. | :26:15. | |
put it onto the stick side of the Indian defender. Look at the five | :26:16. | :26:26. | |
South African players around the ball-carrier. Even though India have | :26:27. | :26:34. | |
nine men, they have pushed four of them up the pitch. Looking for | :26:35. | :26:40. | |
something. They don't want to get too stretched. Otherwise, it will | :26:41. | :26:44. | |
allow South Africa on the counterattack. | :26:45. | :26:47. | |
too stretched. Otherwise, it will allow South Africa on the South | :26:48. | :26:51. | |
Africa really need this out quickly. They do not want to delay. Just a | :26:52. | :27:23. | |
miscommunication. Steelen by No 3 Evans. And a chance to mount an | :27:24. | :27:35. | |
attack from here for India. There is little bits of skill they couldn't | :27:36. | :27:40. | |
make the most of. The Indians are so close around their feet. Those close | :27:41. | :27:47. | |
skills around the D. The best way to play India is to run them around and | :27:48. | :27:52. | |
pull them out of position and go into the other spaces. Mayne doesn't | :27:53. | :27:59. | |
make any progress. The whistle goes. She is a tough mayer, who plays at | :28:00. | :28:05. | |
my club in Canterbury last season, or did for a while. She is a real | :28:06. | :28:11. | |
scrapper. India working in pairs down the right flank. They have not | :28:12. | :28:20. | |
been allowed to enter that South African circle yet. | :28:21. | :28:35. | |
They have been in that circle, that one personality corner of course. | :28:36. | :28:43. | |
And personalest penalty corner. They want a referral, South Africa, do | :28:44. | :28:55. | |
they? I can refer it if you want. But you need to tell me quickly. I | :28:56. | :28:59. | |
don't think they will. It is interesting that India managed to | :29:00. | :29:02. | |
force that. They have one player down. They had two players down and | :29:03. | :29:05. | |
they were still attacking with nine players. It shows the skill and | :29:06. | :29:09. | |
confidence they have in their game and I think they have only got one | :29:10. | :29:14. | |
game really. So India, well, this is it. That tackle there on to the | :29:15. | :29:25. | |
foot. Rani there. It takes the runner! And it is another corner. | :29:26. | :29:36. | |
They know they have got to get down. Minz is down. They're running down | :29:37. | :29:48. | |
the line. I think that hit her just above the shin pad on the knee. I | :29:49. | :29:53. | |
think it was knee. Here - so I would say that might probably get | :29:54. | :29:59. | |
overturned. Above the knee is deemed as dangerous. She got close. Below | :30:00. | :30:04. | |
the knee will be another corner. REFEREE: We are saying it is too | :30:05. | :30:12. | |
high? That is fair enough. It is who can get out there fast enough to | :30:13. | :30:16. | |
make it dangerous. But at what price. Indeed. It is brave running | :30:17. | :30:22. | |
out. Brave running out. If that hit her on the knee bone, it is just | :30:23. | :30:28. | |
below the knee cap on that area that we know hurt like... And gives you a | :30:29. | :30:37. | |
dead leg for a while. If it puts fluid into the knee, the knee | :30:38. | :30:39. | |
becomes unstable and it is difficult to run on. She is a speed merchant, | :30:40. | :30:53. | |
Minz and she is really quick over two metres. It is not good to see | :30:54. | :30:58. | |
the pain on her face. Nine minutes left in the half. A A crucial match | :30:59. | :31:06. | |
in pool A. Again they surge forward. Mayne the opportunist. | :31:07. | :31:27. | |
Mayne is scrapping for every bit of possession. Look at this - waiting | :31:28. | :31:34. | |
for the whistle. A dangerous game. Always play until the whistle blows. | :31:35. | :31:39. | |
That is what we were fought and everybody would know the first time | :31:40. | :31:45. | |
you relax, you get done. This time it is Bright who intercepts in the | :31:46. | :31:47. | |
middle of the pitch. I think the options were closed down | :31:48. | :32:11. | |
then. She had two forwards waiting. They have got their full compliment | :32:12. | :32:24. | |
back. It used to be the magic sponge and now it is the magic bag of ice. | :32:25. | :32:32. | |
back. It used to be the magic sponge Chamberlain is a goal scorer for | :32:33. | :32:33. | |
Australia. keeps the ball in play and catches a | :32:34. | :32:56. | |
South African stick. Well a South African and an Indian stick and a | :32:57. | :33:03. | |
penalty. Russell is always in the danger area and gets herself a | :33:04. | :33:10. | |
penalty corner. A bit of a soft one from India. Just holding the stick | :33:11. | :33:17. | |
out. Because it was slanted towards, like an LBZ style, it just caught | :33:18. | :33:27. | |
the top edge. Bright to inject from the base. Will they use the same | :33:28. | :33:31. | |
option that they have already scored from? Yes they will. Terblanche | :33:32. | :33:37. | |
coming in and it didn't catch anything and goes over the back | :33:38. | :33:44. | |
line. Bright wasn't expecting that. But a different move, a low shot in | :33:45. | :33:49. | |
and look at that cross. Bright Wurz standing up there. If she has been | :33:50. | :33:55. | |
-- was standing up there, if she had been done. She is a very tall | :33:56. | :34:03. | |
athlete, Bright, it says she is five foot eight, but I think she is much | :34:04. | :34:06. | |
taufler than that. Those are the balls you have to | :34:07. | :34:50. | |
watch. India trying to conjure up something special. They're moving | :34:51. | :34:58. | |
that ball around, India. And they certainly commit players to attack. | :34:59. | :35:02. | |
Seven of that you are out field players are in and around that D. | :35:03. | :35:21. | |
Rani has the ball for India. Into the circle and a big clunk - double | :35:22. | :35:35. | |
stick. Took the quick free hit and the South African defence hadn't | :35:36. | :35:40. | |
retreated five yards. That is why the penalty conner was awarded. You | :35:41. | :35:45. | |
have got to retreat and if you're within five metres, you can't play | :35:46. | :35:50. | |
it until you're within five metres. So good pressure there by India. | :35:51. | :36:01. | |
Thokchom to inject from the baseline for India. | :36:02. | :36:13. | |
Excellent work at the back from Marais and South Africa are on | :36:14. | :36:25. | |
attack already. Touch as go as that was hitting head height. Three and a | :36:26. | :36:29. | |
half minutes left in the A slide in there and a free hit to | :36:30. | :37:08. | |
the defence. India are so good at those little one/twos around | :37:09. | :37:13. | |
defenders. It is something they practice a lot. They love running | :37:14. | :37:19. | |
with the ball together. Terblanche is so strong down that right side. | :37:20. | :37:23. | |
Knows her position inside out. Now Davids had the right idea, but | :37:24. | :37:50. | |
could not be dragged in by Taylor. Sometimes with the Indian defence, | :37:51. | :37:54. | |
they get out of position. Especially when they throw so many bodies | :37:55. | :37:58. | |
forward. South Africa managed to find a great ball into midfield and | :37:59. | :38:00. | |
then into the corner. Intercepted by Cox and just a bit | :38:01. | :38:23. | |
too much on it. They have an opportunity have India. | :38:24. | :38:42. | |
Look at the deft stick work and a stroke. What will South Africa's | :38:43. | :38:48. | |
reply? They're walking away. REFEREE: You have got 20 seconds do | :38:49. | :38:55. | |
you want to refer. Are you happy to refer. What a great piece of skill | :38:56. | :39:00. | |
to get up to that position. REFEREE: Can you hear me? Yes. South Africa | :39:01. | :39:05. | |
are saying she missed the ball before the stick tackle. I'm saying | :39:06. | :39:10. | |
the stick tackle caused her to miss the ball. Can you have a look. A | :39:11. | :39:16. | |
lovely bit of skill here. Well, that is an interesting one. Because I | :39:17. | :39:21. | |
think the South African stick, the corner was for taking the stick | :39:22. | :39:26. | |
here, just going over the ball and taking the stick. Was Cox's stick in | :39:27. | :39:31. | |
front of the ball when the Indian player tried to take it snt in which | :39:32. | :39:36. | |
case that is a penalty corner or a stroke at least. I have a decision | :39:37. | :39:42. | |
there is no clear reason to change your decision. Stick with the | :39:43. | :39:50. | |
penalty stroke. So Katariya has created a bit of magic for India and | :39:51. | :40:03. | |
a stroke has been awarded. Jaspreet Kaur faces the keeper. : And in it | :40:04. | :40:18. | |
goes - easy as. 1-1. Game on! Superbly executed. They're happy | :40:19. | :40:22. | |
with that. Jaspreet Kaur. A lovely penalty stroke. You wouldn't want | :40:23. | :40:27. | |
for much more than that. Great positioning. In the roof of the net. | :40:28. | :40:32. | |
Not even in the back. Fantastic confidence from the 18-year-old | :40:33. | :40:36. | |
penalty corner striker. Getting her sixth goal of the tournament. So | :40:37. | :40:43. | |
efficient. And seems to signal we're back in the game. | :40:44. | :41:25. | |
Africa? Just as India put the equaliser in, Chamberlain pops | :41:26. | :41:30. | |
another one in and the South African coach smiles once more. Great work | :41:31. | :41:37. | |
from Cox initially. Puts the ball in that danger area and well worked. | :41:38. | :41:44. | |
Chamberlain, well, she gets number seven for her at this tournament. | :41:45. | :41:51. | |
Well just about right on the hooter. That second South African goal. And | :41:52. | :41:56. | |
as promised right at the beginning, it was always going to be a | :41:57. | :41:59. | |
as promised right at the beginning, affair. Contrasting styles between | :42:00. | :42:08. | |
these two pool A-Teams. And Davids has done a power of work and South | :42:09. | :42:14. | |
Africa go to the break, they're 2-1 ahead of India. We will be back for | :42:15. | :42:32. | |
live coverage of that match. Don't go anywhere. We are here at the | :42:33. | :42:45. | |
quay. People are having ice cream and Coffey but we are going to | :42:46. | :42:50. | |
change direction and turn our attention to wrestling. This is a | :42:51. | :43:04. | |
guide to everything grappling. Wrestling was one of just four | :43:05. | :43:08. | |
sports contested at the first Commonwealth Games. It is a classic | :43:09. | :43:14. | |
contest between two athletes seeking dominance between grapples and | :43:15. | :43:22. | |
pools, pins and throws. Men and in all weight categories in freestyle | :43:23. | :43:27. | |
events. Wrestlers are allowed to use their legs for gripping and they can | :43:28. | :43:32. | |
hold all parts of the body. A marked circle in the middle of the mat | :43:33. | :43:36. | |
measures nine metres in diameter and is split into three zones. The | :43:37. | :43:43. | |
yellow wrestling area and the red passivity ring. A point is awarded | :43:44. | :43:49. | |
if you force your opponents beyond the red zone and for executing holds | :43:50. | :44:02. | |
and blocks. Everything you need to know about wrestling. At the start | :44:03. | :44:09. | |
of the games Scotland's target was 35 medals. They already have 38. Now | :44:10. | :44:24. | |
they are going for another. Shannon Hawke is going for another one. Over | :44:25. | :44:32. | |
to your commentators. COMMENTATOR: Shannon Hawke, 19 years old. She is | :44:33. | :44:49. | |
up against a Madi of South Africa. It will be uninteresting clash. Madi | :44:50. | :45:00. | |
is a very experienced competitor. The Australian Olympian will oversee | :45:01. | :45:15. | |
the bout as referee. Hawke was beaten earlier in the tournament by | :45:16. | :45:40. | |
the beaten finalist from India. Unfortunately, the rumour is going | :45:41. | :45:45. | |
around that Hawke has an injury. She lost her last bout quite easily. She | :45:46. | :45:50. | |
has had both shoulder blades put to the ground in 31 seconds of the | :45:51. | :45:57. | |
first period. She was meant to be carrying an injury. She did her very | :45:58. | :46:03. | |
best there but an experienced South African has bowled her over and | :46:04. | :46:10. | |
pinned her in the first period. Madi has gone one better than last time. | :46:11. | :46:14. | |
A bronze for the South African. A very good performance by the South | :46:15. | :46:21. | |
African. It will be good experience for Hawke. She is only 19. She will | :46:22. | :46:26. | |
learn from the experience and hopefully the injury is not too bad. | :46:27. | :46:32. | |
She managed to twist out of the first throw for the two points but | :46:33. | :46:36. | |
her opponent getting her to the ground. Then she gets turned onto | :46:37. | :46:42. | |
her back. Both shoulder blades on the ground for the pin. You can see | :46:43. | :46:52. | |
where the injury was to her shoulder. She has been heavily | :46:53. | :46:58. | |
taped. She was pinned very quickly in her second contest. You can | :46:59. | :47:02. | |
imagine all the pressure going through those shoulders. In a lot of | :47:03. | :47:11. | |
pain. She really had no choice. We have moved over to the face painting | :47:12. | :47:17. | |
area. I asked the lady if she could make me look 15 years younger, the | :47:18. | :47:22. | |
lady said she was not a magician. You look lovely, though. | :47:23. | :47:30. | |
Disappointment for Shannon. But could the Scottish competitor fare | :47:31. | :47:35. | |
any better in the 61 kilograms medal match? COMMENTATOR: Etko makes his | :47:36. | :47:55. | |
way into the arena for Scotland. It is good to see the Scottish | :47:56. | :48:08. | |
competitor in blue. Vella will be pleased to be in the red as well. | :48:09. | :48:12. | |
Trying to follow on from what his good friend and team-mate did | :48:13. | :48:21. | |
yesterday. Carlos Jiminez is overseeing it as the referee, from | :48:22. | :48:29. | |
Malta. Etko had already retired and was assistant coach to Scotland. He | :48:30. | :48:34. | |
took the wrestling boots off the wall and lace them up one last time. | :48:35. | :48:39. | |
I'm sure he is glad that he did. He only finished fifth in the | :48:40. | :48:42. | |
Commonwealth Games in Delhi but now he stands a very good chance of a | :48:43. | :48:50. | |
bronze. The Maltese athlete is sent to dry his hands completely. They | :48:51. | :48:59. | |
cannot be slippy with sweat. It is deemed an unfair advantage. We are | :49:00. | :49:04. | |
about to get underway in the 61 kilograms class. Malta historically | :49:05. | :49:17. | |
one of the big nations in wrestling. Straightaway he takes him to the | :49:18. | :49:20. | |
ground, gets behind him looking for the two and the legless. Etko is on | :49:21. | :49:33. | |
fire as he tries to go for a spin to turn the Maltese onto his back. | :49:34. | :49:39. | |
Another two points. Taking your man to the ground gives you two points, | :49:40. | :49:46. | |
getting him on his back gets you another two. If you pin his shoulder | :49:47. | :49:51. | |
blades back also means the end of the bout. If you get to ten points | :49:52. | :50:01. | |
it is also the end of the bout. He has had a futile fight today. Good | :50:02. | :50:06. | |
sportsmanship from the Maltese allowing him to do up his boot. He | :50:07. | :50:12. | |
is not afraid to come forward but that is the danger if he keeps | :50:13. | :50:20. | |
shooting for the leg. Two points for Etko. He is lifting the leg, going | :50:21. | :50:26. | |
for the leg lace again. Past 90 degrees. That is another two points. | :50:27. | :50:43. | |
Yes, he is up to eight. He did spin him twice. He only needs another two | :50:44. | :50:50. | |
points for the outright victory. Two points for the technical | :50:51. | :50:54. | |
superiority. Can he turn him one more time? Yes, he can. It is 10-0 | :50:55. | :51:01. | |
and that should be it. Technical superiority. Etko, at 36, the former | :51:02. | :51:14. | |
coach, laced up the boots one time and has brought delight to the | :51:15. | :51:19. | |
crowd. A bronze medal for Scotland. He came through a very tough draw to | :51:20. | :51:28. | |
get to this bronze medal fight. Look at him. He is delighted. Raised the | :51:29. | :51:34. | |
roof of the wrestling Hall. Brilliant work from the former coach | :51:35. | :51:37. | |
who came out of retirement for these games. The men's 61 kilo class. Etko | :51:38. | :51:49. | |
is the bronze medallist. The former Scottish coach. Back to being a | :51:50. | :51:57. | |
wrestler. I am that he is glad he made that decision. Fifth in Delhi. | :51:58. | :52:03. | |
Third here in what is almost his home city. Glasgow. The bronze | :52:04. | :52:09. | |
medal. I like the way he shakes the hand of every referee. They are all | :52:10. | :52:15. | |
gentlemen. And this is how he did it. He was incomplete control. This | :52:16. | :52:26. | |
was him getting the shoulders 90 degrees. Around he goes for the | :52:27. | :52:34. | |
final two points. There it is. Over he goes. Technical superiority. He | :52:35. | :52:43. | |
wins the bronze for Scotland. He flipped the Maltese head over heels. | :52:44. | :52:49. | |
And look at this. That is not easy on a soft wrestling mat. And at 36 | :52:50. | :53:00. | |
years old. Etko is bronze medallist in the 61 kilograms class freestyle | :53:01. | :53:04. | |
wrestling. The first medal in the wrestling Hall for the Scots. | :53:05. | :53:14. | |
STUDIO: Fair to say, he was very happy with his bronze medal. Back to | :53:15. | :53:24. | |
the hockey. It is 2-1. Enjoy this. With your commentators. COMMENTATOR: | :53:25. | :53:34. | |
South Africa have a chance if they can get the ball through. India are | :53:35. | :53:38. | |
searching for the equaliser. Jaspreet. Intercepted the big angled | :53:39. | :53:47. | |
drive through the midfield. Russell loves to run with the ball. We have | :53:48. | :53:52. | |
not seen much of her gibbering because they have used a different | :53:53. | :53:58. | |
style in this match against India. Terreblanche off-loads. | :53:59. | :54:06. | |
Chamberlain. The goal-scorer. It doesn't touch her leg. Play on. | :54:07. | :54:13. | |
India had the ball on the end of the stick. A perfect example of the | :54:14. | :54:25. | |
subtle 3-D skills of India. Kept in. Dipika Pallikal. Back to Jaspreet. | :54:26. | :54:42. | |
This time it is South Africa trying to get a bit of possession. Back on | :54:43. | :54:51. | |
the stick. Through bright, South Africa have the ball. A chance at | :54:52. | :55:02. | |
goal. Speculation. Look at that. Grace coming through for India. We | :55:03. | :55:08. | |
had everything then. A chip through. A speculator at goal. South | :55:09. | :55:17. | |
Africa go right down the other end needing to mop up. Enter to end | :55:18. | :55:25. | |
stuff. Hardly time to draw breath. The guys are getting through an | :55:26. | :55:32. | |
awful lot of work. Back where we started at the beginning of the | :55:33. | :55:38. | |
second half. India on the attack. They are quite good at locking the | :55:39. | :55:42. | |
ball in the corner. They get all their players around the ball. A | :55:43. | :55:47. | |
speculation ball like that in the air and it still does not get the | :55:48. | :55:53. | |
ball away. Through the middle of the pitch rather than out on the flank. | :55:54. | :55:57. | |
Can they make some room for themselves? South Africa just | :55:58. | :56:09. | |
crowding out the area. Entry into the circle. A little half term. -- | :56:10. | :56:26. | |
half turn. Again, except for the Indian goalkeeper they are over | :56:27. | :56:38. | |
halfway. Pushed high. Again, you have to say that South Africa are | :56:39. | :56:41. | |
doing well to lock it into the edges of the field. India just keep bodies | :56:42. | :56:55. | |
around the ball. Clever work. This time it is the skills of South | :56:56. | :57:09. | |
Africa. Taylor. Bright. A strong drive down the field. Terreblanche. | :57:10. | :57:21. | |
Four players around Bright now. When they crowd the ball, it means it is | :57:22. | :57:25. | |
difficult to get your head up to make a good pass and South Africa | :57:26. | :57:28. | |
look good when they have some space to work in. | :57:29. | :57:29. | |
look good when they have some space to work in. A bit more freedom for | :57:30. | :57:43. | |
India to run with the ball. Jaspreet, the goal-scorer for India. | :57:44. | :58:00. | |
Cox brings it out and gets the free hit. Oh dear, another card in | :58:01. | :58:10. | |
waiting. A warning from the umpire. They will get a corner. Jade Mayne | :58:11. | :58:32. | |
having plenty of impact on this game for South Africa. When South Africa | :58:33. | :58:37. | |
use the pace down the wings, they get into dangerous situations and | :58:38. | :58:42. | |
Jade Mayne keeps a cool head and puts in a good ball and that causes | :58:43. | :58:47. | |
trouble for the keeper and it comes off his foot. She is a really strong | :58:48. | :58:53. | |
player. Injects the ball hard. It is a bouncing ball that is so hard to | :58:54. | :59:03. | |
deal with. Hits the foot. Bright and a hit at goal that is deflected off | :59:04. | :59:06. | |
the Indian runner. Not Nuffield for Coston. -- not | :59:07. | :59:46. | |
enough field for Coston. Just trying to take it up to about 20 metres. | :59:47. | :59:53. | |
Once it went over the back line. But as you do, trying to crib up the | :59:54. | :59:57. | |
field a wee bit. Room to move in midfield. Russell | :59:58. | :00:33. | |
will get the free hit. I think that was a bit of pushing | :00:34. | :01:10. | |
going on there on the receiver. Jaspreet's given a few long passes | :01:11. | :01:18. | |
away and she is very powerful. She has a huge area, but she is trying | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
too long a pass. That is because South Africa are forcing her into | :01:23. | :01:30. | |
playing these to too long passes. It has been dangerous. That one didn't | :01:31. | :01:38. | |
come off at all. It is all about the pressure though. South Africa have | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
the advantage on the score board, 2-1 they lead. And they again are | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
rooking to -- looking to add to that tally. | :01:51. | :02:12. | |
Picked off and steaming up to get an Indian player ahead of ball carrier | :02:13. | :02:20. | |
and it just didn't happen early enough. | :02:21. | :02:30. | |
Penalty corner time. Foot of the Indian defender. Jade Mayne, but | :02:31. | :02:37. | |
there is a lovely move, switching from one side to the other. It is | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
that right hand side they're finding more success with. Jade Mayne on two | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
occasions has done that in the second half. Found the penalty | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
corner. Being firm and strong on the ball and just finding a foot. So the | :02:51. | :03:00. | |
familiar figure of Karen Bright to inject it out. They have had four | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
penalty corner shots. Bright and Russell were waiting to | :03:06. | :03:15. | |
pounce. But Savita in goal does the business for India. | :03:16. | :03:28. | |
That pass has the Indian defence scrambling. Taylor putting that ball | :03:29. | :03:36. | |
across the front of the face of goal. | :03:37. | :03:45. | |
Again India delay taking the free hit and it allows South Africa to | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
get back into position. That is the only thing that. Here is Damons | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
testing out that knee after that Marsha Cox, the captain of South | :03:57. | :04:30. | |
Africa, what a contribution. Marsha Cox to Terblanche. | :04:31. | :04:39. | |
Good running forward with the ball. And Russell. | :04:40. | :05:21. | |
Slightly mishit and a bit dangerous from Coston trying to get a stick on | :05:22. | :05:34. | |
it. Can they conjure up something, India? | :05:35. | :05:47. | |
What a backhand, wasn't it fabulous? Yes and it was a lovely ball. But | :05:48. | :05:55. | |
she couldn't quite read it and get into the position. But it was a | :05:56. | :06:04. | |
lovely pass. Bright sunshine now. Just th shadow of the stand. | :06:05. | :06:26. | |
Damons over the top. The spectators grateful for the netting. They were | :06:27. | :06:36. | |
and the ball forced, she does well, trapping it and letting it run wide. | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
But I can't help thinking her knee was a bit sore and she didn't quite | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
get in the right position. I think you're right. She is certainly not | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
running with the freedom we have seen her. She is so live when she is | :06:50. | :06:59. | |
running. It looked like a hit in desperation for India. The South | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
Africans are not giving them much at all. | :07:04. | :07:13. | |
Again India having to work it out of their left-side defence. It is not | :07:14. | :07:20. | |
where they want to play the game when you're 2-1 down and under 20 | :07:21. | :07:26. | |
minutes to go in the back. She is just looking to try and draw a foul. | :07:27. | :07:37. | |
Clever. In the end they will get the free hit. | :07:38. | :08:29. | |
some stern words from the coach on the side. | :08:30. | :08:40. | |
Great work from Mayne getting anything in the way there. But India | :08:41. | :08:48. | |
have got to force something, haven't they? It is half way through the | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
second half, they're a goal down. But that one goal is not good | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
enough. A draw is not good enough for India, but it is for South | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
Africa. They're going to have to keep forcing and it does mean there | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
will be space for the South African breakaway attacks. | :09:04. | :09:21. | |
The resolve from South Africa is too great for India. Mayne again. She | :09:22. | :09:28. | |
has contributed in such a positive way for South Africa today. Hard | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
running striker. She puts her head down and that pony | :09:35. | :09:54. | |
tail is flying at the back. Ipd let South Africa go down the wings. But | :09:55. | :10:01. | |
not down the middle. And they're crowded out. They're quite happy to | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
let you have it wide. Because their confident in their ability to trap | :10:06. | :10:15. | |
the ball and close it in. Terblanche has come across into the middle now. | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
Players so busy marking their players, the Indian defensive | :10:21. | :10:29. | |
players, the ball wept to the keeper. And a goal. There is goal No | :10:30. | :10:35. | |
3 through Davids for South Africa and almost from nothing. There was a | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
slight drop in concentration from the Indian defenders and a couple of | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
shots and the second one for South Africa. That was made by Dirkie | :10:45. | :10:52. | |
Chamberlain's brilliant shot. The rebound was put in by Davids. The | :10:53. | :10:58. | |
keeper was still moving across. I think didn't see that strike coming | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
to start with. Too many players in the way. But a brilliant finish. | :11:03. | :11:11. | |
Yes, I think she was missing that and Davids finishing into the side | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
netting. That was always going to stretch any keeper. So 3-1 to South | :11:16. | :11:23. | |
Africa over India. A crucial match. I think in term of territory, that | :11:24. | :11:31. | |
is show the -- how the game should go. In front of goal, South Africa | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
are much more deadly than India have been and they do deserve it, but | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
India have fought hard and got in the right territory, but they | :11:40. | :11:42. | |
haven't made the territory count. Well, look at that, twice as many | :11:43. | :11:48. | |
opportunities - South Africa have created three from 18. Not a bad | :11:49. | :11:52. | |
return. One out of four would be what you were looking for. | :11:53. | :12:11. | |
The one/two passing is what the crowd want to see. And a free hit to | :12:12. | :12:19. | |
South Africa in defence. In fact id dit go out toff play. The game | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
slipping away from India. They have got to get something and get it | :12:24. | :12:28. | |
quick. They're going to throw caution to the wind, are they? | :12:29. | :13:06. | |
more coming from South Africa. Taking the ball wide and stopping | :13:07. | :13:09. | |
with it. They have done much quite a lot. It means that they get caught | :13:10. | :13:13. | |
here. A strike on the foot. lot. It means that they get caught | :13:14. | :13:15. | |
penalty corner. lot. It means that they get caught | :13:16. | :13:35. | |
on. -- Bernadette Coston. A big discussion amongst the Indian | :13:36. | :13:39. | |
defenders, who is going to be the one to come out. That is brave. She | :13:40. | :13:52. | |
got the late call to come back. They expect a lot of this young kid. | :13:53. | :13:57. | |
Making her run out is a bit cruel but she did it. She got the ball. | :13:58. | :14:12. | |
The Indian team, pressure on them. They feel that the game is slipping | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
away from them but they have two keep trying. So focused is this | :14:18. | :14:24. | |
South African team. Again, through the middle. And they cannot finish. | :14:25. | :14:42. | |
Evans had a De Illse Davids and du Plessis beside her. A penalty | :14:43. | :14:56. | |
corner. Getting instructions from the bench. Lovely skills from Rani. | :14:57. | :15:04. | |
Drawing the tackle from Bobbs and nonchalantly putting it on the foot. | :15:05. | :15:10. | |
This game is not over yet. There is time for India to get back in it. | :15:11. | :15:20. | |
Timing from India. Proving that they are in this for the entirety. A | :15:21. | :15:41. | |
dream card -- cream what a sound. What the Indians | :15:42. | :16:06. | |
wanted to hear. Just when you had the sense that South Africa had | :16:07. | :16:12. | |
taken it over. They deserved that for all their pressure. Brilliant | :16:13. | :16:19. | |
finished by Rani, just digs it into the turf and gets it over the | :16:20. | :16:23. | |
keeper. It brings them back into this game. They sensed they have an | :16:24. | :16:36. | |
opportunity. The ball on the end of their stick. It bobbles towards the | :16:37. | :16:45. | |
goal. Those are hard to stop. Taken on the arm. Lisa-Marie Deetlefs. | :16:46. | :17:02. | |
India have also got a man off. Where did this catch her? Let's have a | :17:03. | :17:08. | |
look. Did she catch it on the elbow? On the wrist? When you hit | :17:09. | :17:17. | |
the ball, the follow-through of your stick takes the ball around and it | :17:18. | :17:26. | |
robbery caught her on the from. I was always being cracked on the | :17:27. | :17:52. | |
farm. That second knuckle on that thumb. Jaspreet. That catches Dirkie | :17:53. | :18:06. | |
Chamberlain. Ten minutes left in the match. Good ball in. There was a bit | :18:07. | :18:16. | |
of pushing going on. So India are just doing enough to make this an | :18:17. | :18:26. | |
interesting last ten minutes. Work going on that thumb. The whistle had | :18:27. | :18:40. | |
already gone before. Just knocking the ball up to herd the body. They | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
don't have a referral left so they cannot argue with the umpire. The | :18:45. | :19:05. | |
ball put up by Lenise Marais. They could not take the free hit quickly. | :19:06. | :19:11. | |
It could be a costly mistake. A slight loss of concentration. The | :19:12. | :19:19. | |
ball fired in early by India. A quick reaction. You cannot hit the | :19:20. | :19:25. | |
ball away. Runaway gets ready. Instinctive but it could be costly. | :19:26. | :19:33. | |
The countdown on the 40 seconds. Only ten left. What will happen from | :19:34. | :19:48. | |
this corner. She was out to early, Bernadette Coston. If you break, you | :19:49. | :19:56. | |
will Inc wish your right to defend the penalty corner. India, | :19:57. | :20:10. | |
Jaspreet. It is the skipper. Clever. Now Van Deventer will not make a | :20:11. | :20:18. | |
more important to save during this Olympic Games. South Africa bringing | :20:19. | :20:28. | |
the ball away. India on the hunt for the equaliser. Rampal. The skipper | :20:29. | :20:44. | |
is there as well. A couple of transgressions in a row from Bright. | :20:45. | :20:53. | |
Loose ball. A free hit for the defence. South Africa breathe again. | :20:54. | :21:02. | |
India so good at winding up free hit after free hit. Look at the double | :21:03. | :21:12. | |
save. Well cleared by Chamberlain. Three around. A bit of shepherding | :21:13. | :21:17. | |
around Cox. The ball just catching the foot. They are at sixes and | :21:18. | :21:25. | |
sevens, this is due to the speed injected into the game by India. De | :21:26. | :22:00. | |
Damons contests. Look at the speed of the wrist. A bullet of a shot | :22:01. | :22:07. | |
from the right side of the pitch. On forced errors because India are | :22:08. | :22:11. | |
imparting pressure and South Africa are getting tired. A bullet, as you | :22:12. | :22:13. | |
said, coming in their will stop. India are quickly catching up with | :22:14. | :22:39. | |
South Africa. It goes high and over the top. Bernadette Coston got to | :22:40. | :22:50. | |
that. She put a stick on it. Great defence from South Africa. Five and | :22:51. | :22:57. | |
a half minutes left in the match. Bernadette Coston is out very | :22:58. | :23:09. | |
quickly. She just saves 13. -- saves her team. Under five minutes to | :23:10. | :23:33. | |
play. India searching for an equaliser at the very least. They | :23:34. | :23:38. | |
need to win this game. A draw will not be good enough. It means two | :23:39. | :23:45. | |
goals in four minutes. Time is ticking away. They are running out | :23:46. | :23:59. | |
of time to get this semifinal place. Mayne penalised that time. Still | :24:00. | :24:09. | |
South Africa running and put pressure on. Absolutely. Each India. | :24:10. | :24:28. | |
The captain desperately trying. Damons. A little flick back. In the | :24:29. | :24:43. | |
middle they surge once more India. Three minutes 40. The wall South | :24:44. | :24:53. | |
Africa goes up again. Strong wrists. The power comes through. She has got | :24:54. | :25:02. | |
a great strike on her from that right wingback position. India | :25:03. | :25:11. | |
having to come out and redirect. That is exactly what South Africa | :25:12. | :25:20. | |
need to do. Terblanche. Rani running with the ball. Looks for entry into | :25:21. | :25:25. | |
the circle. Searching for the equaliser. What a save by the | :25:26. | :25:30. | |
captain. Marsha Cox standing in front of the goalkeeper. There is so | :25:31. | :25:39. | |
much happening. Van Deventer. The left boot, it is pushed out over the | :25:40. | :25:46. | |
backline. Two and a half minutes left in the match. What a great shot | :25:47. | :25:59. | |
that was by Errani. Van Deventer. Great save. Another | :26:00. | :26:08. | |
that was by Errani. Van Deventer. great shrike. Good shot. Good | :26:09. | :26:13. | |
defensive left foot. Well parried. She didn't cut the angle down too | :26:14. | :26:18. | |
much. But she got the left boot back. Great save. India are not | :26:19. | :26:33. | |
finished yet. The captain trying desperately hard. You cannot deny | :26:34. | :26:42. | |
what South Africa have put out here today. One and a half minutes. Both | :26:43. | :27:00. | |
benches up on their feet. Into no man's land. Write up on the top | :27:01. | :27:06. | |
right wing. The captain putting it exactly where it needs to go. South | :27:07. | :27:10. | |
Africa hanging on by the skin of their teeth at the moment. They are | :27:11. | :27:15. | |
finding it very difficult to deal with the skill and pressure of | :27:16. | :27:20. | |
India. India are just lacking a bit of pace. With all of this skill, it | :27:21. | :27:25. | |
is the pace that they are missing to inject into the situation. Under one | :27:26. | :27:34. | |
minute to go. All South Africa have to do is hold the ball. Russell and | :27:35. | :27:40. | |
Terblanche. Just fires it up the other end. Extinguishing the hope | :27:41. | :27:48. | |
that India can come back and tie it up. 30 seconds left in the match. It | :27:49. | :27:59. | |
is a tough call this one. The Indian captain still trying to progress | :28:00. | :28:06. | |
forward. Into the circle. The ball is there. It has been released by | :28:07. | :28:16. | |
the ballgirl. Now, the crowd urge India on. Toppo could have had a | :28:17. | :28:23. | |
shot. There is the hooter! And the crowd have had their money's worth | :28:24. | :28:28. | |
this afternoon. Look at South Africa, they have got hands on their | :28:29. | :28:34. | |
knees, some are down on their haunches. What a match! Played in | :28:35. | :28:43. | |
very good spirit. India asking for a referral. It is not over yet. But it | :28:44. | :28:52. | |
won't change the second place in the pool. They might get the draw if | :28:53. | :28:58. | |
they get the right referral. The ball bobbling about a bit. There was | :28:59. | :29:11. | |
a stick hook here I think. Marsha Cox, if you look when the ball is | :29:12. | :29:16. | |
played behind her here. She leans across. It is there, the stick is | :29:17. | :29:22. | |
taken there. I think they might get a corner for that. But a draw is not | :29:23. | :29:28. | |
good enough for India. It is only good enough for South Africa. So | :29:29. | :29:34. | |
either way they're through. So we all wait to see what this referral | :29:35. | :29:42. | |
will mean. Lovely skill there. I think it is that one there. She | :29:43. | :29:48. | |
nearly got there as well. So maybe there is hope yet. For this young | :29:49. | :29:56. | |
Indian side, competing against a much more experienced team. Is a big | :29:57. | :30:02. | |
stick check there. Right on the hooter. India have done well to come | :30:03. | :30:10. | |
back into this game. South Africa have hung on. A fantastic display. | :30:11. | :30:17. | |
When they have needed to they have scored the goals. There was no back | :30:18. | :30:21. | |
of the stick. REFEREE: Thank you very much. That is the end of the | :30:22. | :30:27. | |
game. Ipd right on the hooter lose their referral. They had an | :30:28. | :30:30. | |
opportunity to force a corner and get a draw, which would have meant a | :30:31. | :30:35. | |
lot to them, they would have been on on the same points. But South Africa | :30:36. | :30:46. | |
take this match 3-2. South Africa through to join England, Australia | :30:47. | :30:53. | |
and New Zealand. A bit of controversy twarsds the end. South | :30:54. | :31:04. | |
Africa are through to the semi finals. Congratulations. We are live | :31:05. | :31:08. | |
at the BBC at the Quay. This is Clyde, the official mascot. You have | :31:09. | :31:16. | |
been tweeting. Tim says, Nicola Adams is by far one of the most | :31:17. | :31:20. | |
exciting British athletes competing today. Just awesome. Nicola won the | :31:21. | :31:26. | |
quarter-final in the women's boxing. Craig is happy about Nicola Adams, | :31:27. | :31:35. | |

Glasgow. Every anthem, every beat, | :33:46. | :34:06. | |
every moment. The atmosphere, | :34:07. | :34:07. | |
it's incredible here. Every anthem, every beat, | :34:08. | :34:25. | |
every moment. Get amongst the action | :34:26. | :34:28. | |
all summer long She has smashed that. That is the | :34:29. | :35:14. | |
second silver medal in consecutive Commonwealth Games. The silver medal | :35:15. | :35:23. | |
is going to go to Ashley Bryant. He takes the gold. Congratulations | :35:24. | :35:35. | |
Laura! I'm joined by England's silver surfers from last night. | :35:36. | :35:46. | |
Laura, winning that silver, it was tremendously emotional for you and a | :35:47. | :35:52. | |
lot of the crowd? Yes, it was extreme emotion as I crossed the | :35:53. | :35:58. | |
line in second. I don't think I believed what I had achieved and it | :35:59. | :36:04. | |
was special to have done it in front of so many fans. And Steve Cram | :36:05. | :36:12. | |
coached you and a different job for him to be coaching. I think he | :36:13. | :36:19. | |
enjoys commentating, because he can be distracted. But in that last | :36:20. | :36:23. | |
hundred metres I think he was excited and could have let his | :36:24. | :36:27. | |
emotions out a bit. When you were involved in the triple jump, how | :36:28. | :36:33. | |
aware are you of other things happening in the stadium. We try and | :36:34. | :36:38. | |
get a clip of everything that is happening. After my race I seen | :36:39. | :36:45. | |
Ashley getting his medal. Ashley, we have got, Nick has to give you that | :36:46. | :36:51. | |
mic, but two days of competition and a tough thing to have to do. But are | :36:52. | :36:55. | |
you aware of what is happening around the staid crumb and that Team | :36:56. | :37:01. | |
-- stadium and Team England are doing well. Yes I am watching a lot | :37:02. | :37:08. | |
of thises to keep relaxed. But it was fantastic. The team is doing so | :37:09. | :37:12. | |
well and it was great to watch and compete. Nick, at the end the | :37:13. | :37:20. | |
facilities at Hampden Park, because it is a football stadium and they | :37:21. | :37:24. | |
put in the track and field, presumably you were happy with the | :37:25. | :37:29. | |
conditions? Yes, I couldn't have asked for more. Great atmosphere. | :37:30. | :37:34. | |
Everything was set up brilliantly. I must ask, because we have two silver | :37:35. | :37:38. | |
meats being worn, but Laura and Nick are not wearing yours. I will be | :37:39. | :37:43. | |
receiving mine tonight. I'm excited for that. That is the moment it | :37:44. | :37:48. | |
sinks in what you have achieved. Give us a sense in the triple jump | :37:49. | :37:52. | |
how much effort and dedication you have had to put in before this | :37:53. | :38:00. | |
Commonwealth Games. I went in for winter training and put in so much | :38:01. | :38:04. | |
work and I'm happy just to bring back a medal. Ashley, the decathlon, | :38:05. | :38:12. | |
having ten events and being a master of all, it is extraordinary, in | :38:13. | :38:16. | |
terms of the preparation and competing for Team England, must | :38:17. | :38:20. | |
make you very proud? Yes, it is great to come to the Commonwealth | :38:21. | :38:24. | |
Games. It has been a great event and we have put in a lot of work in the | :38:25. | :38:30. | |
winter and to do it here where everyone targets. To pick up silver | :38:31. | :38:35. | |
was a proud moment. Nick, let's talk about you too. You were up against a | :38:36. | :38:40. | |
Scottish fellow, trying to get the bronze. The home support are going | :38:41. | :38:44. | |
to shout for the Scottish athletes, but they were supporting you well as | :38:45. | :38:49. | |
well weren't they? Yes. There was a great atmosphere. Every thrower got | :38:50. | :38:56. | |
supported equally I think. Once you go in the ring you almost don't hear | :38:57. | :39:00. | |
anything. Give us a sense of Glasgow and how Glasgow responded to the | :39:01. | :39:05. | |
games. I'm from here, I'm aware of the way they respond generally to | :39:06. | :39:10. | |
sporting occasions, how has it felt like? It feels like the whole city | :39:11. | :39:16. | |
is behind us and even is excited and enjoying the games. The European | :39:17. | :39:20. | |
Championships are coming up, what is next for you? I will spend the week | :39:21. | :39:25. | |
recovering and get the head focussed on putting in another good | :39:26. | :39:31. | |
performance in Zurich. It can be difficult, as you try and peak for | :39:32. | :39:37. | |
up with Championship and it will be -- for one Championship. Hopefully I | :39:38. | :39:44. | |
can set a new personal best. Laura, give us a sense of how important it | :39:45. | :39:49. | |
is, because you're competing for England and not gb and the sense of | :39:50. | :40:01. | |
team work. It is great to represent Team England and we have got | :40:02. | :40:05. | |
together, as well as the Welsh and the Scottish, we have got behind | :40:06. | :40:09. | |
each other. The atmosphere in the athletes' village, Greg Rutherford | :40:10. | :40:14. | |
put out tweets about the noise and the frustration. It is hard when you | :40:15. | :40:18. | |
pick up your medal not to go back and whoop it up? It is hard. | :40:19. | :40:23. | |
Different athletes from all different sports and countries are | :40:24. | :40:28. | |
finishing at different times. It is hard and you're happy with your | :40:29. | :40:31. | |
performance and you want to celebrate. But you have to respect | :40:32. | :40:35. | |
the other athletes. They're still competing. The village environment | :40:36. | :40:41. | |
is noisy and you have to deal with it and try not to spress too much | :40:42. | :40:44. | |
about it. -- stress too much about it. Well done to you. Silvers for | :40:45. | :40:51. | |
all of you. Congratulations. When I think of it, the first thing that | :40:52. | :40:56. | |
spring s to mind is music and football. It is known for football. | :40:57. | :41:02. | |
Glasgow is dominated by the two big football teams. And those two | :41:03. | :41:08. | |
monumental stadiums. There is more than two great clubs. What is that | :41:09. | :41:13. | |
club with the bus coming out. The Garage. You can feel the floor | :41:14. | :41:18. | |
bouncing with you. The Scots know how to party. People love their | :41:19. | :41:24. | |
music. Really rowdy crowd. The girnls like that. And the boys. It | :41:25. | :41:30. | |
is the place to be. You name a band with musical history, they have | :41:31. | :41:44. | |
played there. Belle and Sebastian. Calvin Harris. Primal Scream. Zblu | :41:45. | :41:50. | |
dancing the odd drink and just yeah, great nights out. | :41:51. | :41:57. | |
I was going to come back outside. But the weather, well let's look out | :41:58. | :42:06. | |
there. It has touched a little, well a bit challenging. The camera crew | :42:07. | :42:12. | |
is diving for cover. Trying to keep our stuff dry and to the left, that | :42:13. | :42:16. | |
is the bar area. Look at that big wave for everyone in the bar. | :42:17. | :42:21. | |
They're all happy and dry. It is not dampening the spirits. If you have | :42:22. | :42:24. | |
been watching the coverage here on BBC Three and BBC1, and you have | :42:25. | :42:30. | |
been inspired by anything you have seen from the Commonwealth Games, go | :42:31. | :42:35. | |
to our web-site. There is information about all the sports you | :42:36. | :42:49. | |
will see in the Commonwealth Games. Just get out there and get. | :42:50. | :43:30. | |
As I said, we are going to start with table tennis. Before we go into | :43:31. | :43:37. | |
the action, here is all you need to know. Table tennis is a quick and | :43:38. | :43:48. | |
skilful sport requiring a combination of power and delicacy. | :43:49. | :43:54. | |
That's are made of wood covered by rubber giving players different | :43:55. | :44:01. | |
control over speed and spin. Each rally begins with a serve which must | :44:02. | :44:06. | |
be hit from behind the endline and above the table. In singles it can | :44:07. | :44:13. | |
be directed anywhere on the table but in doubles it must go from one | :44:14. | :44:18. | |
right-hand corner to the other. Each player must then strike the ball in | :44:19. | :44:26. | |
turn. If you hit out of turn, you lose the point. Matches are the best | :44:27. | :44:31. | |
of five sets with the first player to 11 points taking the set. There | :44:32. | :44:37. | |
are several events in Glasgow. Singles, doubles, mixed doubles and | :44:38. | :44:50. | |
team competitions. This weather is pretty bad in Glasgow. Delighted to | :44:51. | :44:55. | |
go inside for the table tennis. It is the men's double competition. | :44:56. | :45:06. | |
Doherty and Cameron carried the home hopes against the Chinese pair. | :45:07. | :45:11. | |
Scotland are leading by two games to one. Doherty to serve, two games to | :45:12. | :45:39. | |
one. Docherty smiling back at his partner who felt the pain. More or | :45:40. | :45:58. | |
less the same thing for Lu. He had plenty of time but misjudged the | :45:59. | :46:10. | |
spin. Docherty going for it early. Missing out that time. So, two | :46:11. | :46:37. | |
apiece. Yes! A little bit of clear over the net. In came Docherty, | :46:38. | :47:03. | |
really pouncing her. Back in front. A good backhand from Zhao. Fooling | :47:04. | :47:22. | |
Cameron. So Lu with a serve. Well, the net cord made a difference. | :47:23. | :47:28. | |
Cameron and Docherty giving an apology. But right now, that is | :47:29. | :47:36. | |
manna from heaven. There was time for Lu to adjust but he couldn't | :47:37. | :47:40. | |
quite do it. But he is straight back in with that big forehand. | :47:41. | :48:16. | |
Stretching Docherty. 4-4. Zhao shaking his head. Thought he had | :48:17. | :48:36. | |
that one under control. Mistake from Cameron. Quick attack from Liu. | :48:37. | :49:02. | |
Close to the table. Again, good hitting. Xiao the master with that | :49:03. | :49:19. | |
backhand flick. The New Zealanders are two points ahead. Not taking the | :49:20. | :49:23. | |
opportunity to towel down. The Scots do. Real short shot worked a treat. | :49:24. | :49:40. | |
I thought he was going to go for the backhand flick. Not a bit of it. The | :49:41. | :49:54. | |
lead is down to one. A big forehand! Moving across the table as he played | :49:55. | :50:16. | |
it. Exciting shot. 7-7. Yes! Cameron with the finish. Doherty with the | :50:17. | :50:29. | |
backhand down the table. The two combining really well. Three points | :50:30. | :50:41. | |
in a row. They are a point ahead. Liu in with a big winner. Liu again. | :50:42. | :51:40. | |
Liu is upset with himself because he has made so many of those backhands | :51:41. | :51:47. | |
of the backhand flick. Tied once again. 9-9. I think it flicked the | :51:48. | :52:11. | |
top of the net. But a bold return from Cameron. Match point for | :52:12. | :52:38. | |
Scotland. Tricky. Deep into the forehand of Doherty. Good try. Good | :52:39. | :53:01. | |
defence from Doherty. Cameron left without a prayer there. So, game | :53:02. | :53:27. | |
point, New Zealand. They have each had a chance to take this game. | :53:28. | :53:32. | |
Scotland with a chance to take the match. In the end, it was a couple | :53:33. | :54:09. | |
of inches or more wide. Game point number two. They played the net cord | :54:10. | :54:40. | |
so well. Then got one back. It is 12-12. Where next for this one? | :54:41. | :55:16. | |
Cameron to serve to Liu. One it was. A second match point for the Scots. | :55:17. | :55:41. | |
It is Liu to serve. They have got it! | :55:42. | :55:51. | |
It is Liu to serve. They have got Cameron and for Doherty. They beat | :55:52. | :55:57. | |
the team ranked 12 in men's double in Liu and Xiao. That is as good as | :55:58. | :56:05. | |
beating a seed. Somewhat surprising that they were not seeded. It is the | :56:06. | :56:11. | |
Scots who win it. And it was a thriller! They kept the crowd on the | :56:12. | :56:17. | |
edge of their seats but they pulled it off. Those are the details. The | :56:18. | :56:36. | |
crowd really whip up. Doherty and Cameron go through into the second | :56:37. | :56:40. | |
round. H amend this atmosphere for what was a first-round match. We go | :56:41. | :56:46. | |
to the third round. The English pair were big underdogs against India who | :56:47. | :56:52. | |
were among the favourites for gold. We join the match at the start of | :56:53. | :57:06. | |
the fourth game. India leading 2-1. Great table tennis. Le Fevre and | :57:07. | :57:22. | |
Walker looked to be under great pressure. The way Walker and -- Le | :57:23. | :57:46. | |
Fevre have started. Fantastic by Le Fevre. She has got better and | :57:47. | :57:50. | |
better. This is amazing, 6-0. I imagine the | :57:51. | :58:30. | |
Indians sweating more than the two English players at the moment. | :58:31. | :59:01. | |
So their on the board. This plenty of sporting rivalry between India | :59:02. | :59:09. | |
and England. There is a current cricket Test series between the two | :59:10. | :59:15. | |
nations. India won at Lords for the first time since the 70s a couple of | :59:16. | :59:18. | |
weeks ago. They're all over the Indian pair in | :59:19. | :59:40. | |
this fourth game. Just can't get a blow in at all. | :59:41. | :59:54. | |
Nine game point s to take us into a decider. There it is is. It is | :59:55. | :00:07. | |
almost as if the Indians said they can have this one and we will | :00:08. | :00:14. | |
concentrate on the fifth and final game. 11-1. You never would have | :00:15. | :00:16. | |
predicted that. English table tennis has enjoyed a | :00:17. | :01:17. | |
real resurgence in the last few years. You think that Walker's just | :01:18. | :01:25. | |
19, Le Fevre is 21. India will be more competitive in is | :01:26. | :01:50. | |
in game. Although that is not saying a lot. | :01:51. | :02:04. | |
The English pair have won 13 of the last 14 points in this match. The | :02:05. | :02:20. | |
Indian have gone for a time out. I'm not surprised, they cannot win a | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
point. A complete turn around in this match. | :02:25. | :02:42. | |
How to stop the bleeding is the question. She is the more | :02:43. | :03:05. | |
experienced player, and she and the coach laying down the law a bit to | :03:06. | :03:14. | |
Ghosh. But the Indians have come here big favourites. This would be a | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
serious upset if they go out at the third round stage. | :03:19. | :03:40. | |
Just got an issue with the score board. Bits of paper flying around. | :03:41. | :03:59. | |
Now, we are ready to go. Wide off the top of the net from Le Fevre. | :04:00. | :04:29. | |
One of the top Indian players will be playing later at about 20 to 6 in | :04:30. | :04:39. | |
the singles. Part of the Indian team that nearly got a medal in the team | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
event. Well played Le Fevre again. Forcing | :04:45. | :05:08. | |
the error and England re-establish that two-point lead. | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
All is not well in the Indian camp. So they have changed ends. She | :05:15. | :05:35. | |
misjudged that. I think actually she thought it was not going to land on | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
the table. It was almost a token skres chur. Oh yes, no chance that | :05:40. | :05:48. | |
she could get across there. Could haven't placed it better. | :05:49. | :05:59. | |
Well, that might prove crucial. Is this the start of some kind of come | :06:00. | :06:10. | |
back? Well, the biter bit. Just clipped the edge of the table. What | :06:11. | :06:22. | |
goes around comes around! Three points away Walker and Le Fevre. | :06:23. | :06:29. | |
That was wild! He just threw a fierce right hand at it and | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
That was wild! He just threw a hit the back ball on the full. | :06:34. | :06:46. | |
Every point now is a pressure point for both pairs. Time out called. Not | :06:47. | :06:59. | |
surprising, with the situation as it is. | :07:00. | :07:49. | |
This is a massive point. Le Fevre serving at 6-8. And that is it, you | :07:50. | :08:03. | |
heard the shout from Walker - got it, he said! And suddenly there is | :08:04. | :08:11. | |
daylight Well, we saw Walker do that to them | :08:12. | :08:24. | |
in the last game. Now Ghosh has done the same off the Le Fevre serve. | :08:25. | :08:37. | |
Back in it at 9-8. The English pair held their nerve during that point | :08:38. | :08:57. | |
and they have now got two points to win the match here. Just to add to | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
the tension, a bit of towelling down before we continue. This would be a | :09:03. | :09:11. | |
really big scalp for Walker and Le Fevre to take. | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
They have done it! What a victory that is! Le Fevre's smile says it | :09:16. | :09:27. | |
all. They were 2-1 down. They came back to win 3-2. Sam Walker and | :09:28. | :09:38. | |
Karina Le Fevre take out one of the seeded pairs and they will have a | :09:39. | :09:44. | |
place in the last 16. Well done to England, winners in that match. Well | :09:45. | :09:50. | |
here at the Foyier area at BBC Scotland, is the venue for Tonight | :09:51. | :09:58. | |
at the Games. Here is the red carpet that the guests will walk along. | :09:59. | :10:06. | |
Here at 6.30 we are live at the SECC for boxing. Paddy Barnes, the | :10:07. | :10:12. | |
defending champion, among the highlights. First to wrestling and | :10:13. | :10:22. | |
Leon Rattigan is going for a medal. COMMENTATOR: Here is Leon Rattigan. | :10:23. | :10:28. | |
You saw his wife battling for the gold yesterday and had to settle for | :10:29. | :10:38. | |
silver. This is the man he is against im. Soso | :10:39. | :10:52. | |
He has come 11th in the World Championships in 2009. Since then he | :10:53. | :11:02. | |
has had major Achilles problems. Just one tournament since he had | :11:03. | :11:04. | |
surgery. Tamarau just with a nice shot. He is | :11:05. | :11:40. | |
looking to lift. Looking for the take down. Needs to get some control | :11:41. | :11:46. | |
to finish the move. Nice move! And the referee will have to look at | :11:47. | :11:54. | |
that one. Given two to red and four to Rattigan. Four points for the | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
take down. So he is back and then a reversal by Tamarau for one. There | :12:00. | :12:06. | |
is Leon's wife, looking very emotional. Very nervous. As he was | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
yesterday during her gold medal bout that sadly for her she lost. It was | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
tears yesterday as well. Three points up, but the Nigerian even | :12:16. | :12:21. | |
with Rattigan's power, the Nigerian can combat it and the question is | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
will the man from business toll have enough energy in the tank -- Bristol | :12:27. | :12:33. | |
have enough energy in the tank to be able to deal with it. Not much in | :12:34. | :12:40. | |
it. Just over a minute of wrestling under way. Two three-minute periods. | :12:41. | :12:48. | |
These are 97 kilos. They're big men, it takes a lot of energy to move | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
around and to move your opponent around. Rattigan was unlucky with | :12:53. | :12:58. | |
the draw and had to do an extra round of 16 match, because of the | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
way the draw happened. He has had three long bouts leading to this. | :13:03. | :13:07. | |
Both seem to be waiting and picking their moves. Quite a cautious start | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
by both wrestlers. Not wanting to make that mistake. | :13:12. | :13:32. | |
busier of the two. Does he have the power here? Nearly onto his back. He | :13:33. | :13:41. | |
seems to have woken up to the challenge here. Does he have the | :13:42. | :13:47. | |
fitness if it goes to a second period? He is 8-2 up at the moment. | :13:48. | :13:53. | |
If he can take it to ten it will be finished early. He is picking his | :13:54. | :14:00. | |
time when to attack. Saving his energy and using it at the right | :14:01. | :14:08. | |
time. Almost doing a bit of counter wrestling. Allowing Nigeria to make | :14:09. | :14:13. | |
the moves. The Nigerian is starting to get a bit more desperate. At 8-2, | :14:14. | :14:22. | |
it is about not making mistakes. If your opponent makes a mistake, take | :14:23. | :14:28. | |
advantage of that. 20 seconds of this first period to go. Ratigan | :14:29. | :14:34. | |
will be happy to cruise to halfway and get his breath back. Try to | :14:35. | :14:43. | |
finish it off in the second period. A couple of fakes there. I don't | :14:44. | :14:52. | |
think he was ever going to go down. Leon Rattigan of Bristol in the lead | :14:53. | :15:02. | |
at 8-2. He is in control of the match at the moment. Both wrestlers | :15:03. | :15:09. | |
on their side but because Leon has initiated the move he has been given | :15:10. | :15:22. | |
the fall. There is his wife. A number of members of the press | :15:23. | :15:28. | |
suggested in the past that theirs was a sham marriage. I think we can | :15:29. | :15:32. | |
see now that they could not be more in love. Leon Rattigan is a gentle | :15:33. | :15:40. | |
giant. He barely spoke out against the press. Just tried to wash all | :15:41. | :15:52. | |
over him. Now on the edge of a second Commonwealth Games medal to | :15:53. | :16:00. | |
add to the one he got in Delhi. With the new rules, six points is not | :16:01. | :16:04. | |
much. He has two stay focused. the new rules, six points is not | :16:05. | :16:20. | |
is the take down. 24 Ratigan. There is an 8-point | :16:21. | :16:23. | |
is the take down. 24 Ratigan. There is an difference. His wife screaming | :16:24. | :16:30. | |
encouragement. At 10-2, you are tempted to force the next point. You | :16:31. | :16:36. | |
do not want to make the mistake. There is the single leg. A great | :16:37. | :16:45. | |
escape from Tamarau. Look at the power. Just about the most powerful | :16:46. | :16:50. | |
man in the class. He turns him for two. That is it. It is over. Leon | :16:51. | :16:57. | |
Rattigan has got the bronze medal. He has slumped down onto the mat. | :16:58. | :17:13. | |
The husband of the former Ukrainian who got the silver yesterday. They | :17:14. | :17:18. | |
will be one happy couple. A really good performance by Leon Rattigan | :17:19. | :17:29. | |
after coming back from, 80% of his Achilles tendon, he made a quicker | :17:30. | :17:35. | |
recovery than was expected. Now he has got a bronze medal. A ruptured | :17:36. | :17:41. | |
Achilles is a horrible injury to have. All of your power on the mat | :17:42. | :17:46. | |
is taken away. The Nigerian got caught here. You are not getting | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
just dumped him around. Twisted him just dumped him around. Twisted him | :17:52. | :17:59. | |
around and scored the take-down. just dumped him around. Twisted him | :18:00. | :18:09. | |
win by ten points. His wife could not be any happier! The little and | :18:10. | :18:15. | |
large duo that they are. She has charged off around the back to be | :18:16. | :18:20. | |
the first to congratulate him. She has managed to slip security and get | :18:21. | :18:33. | |
through. Who is going to take on big lay -- Leon. That will mean so much | :18:34. | :18:43. | |
to him after missing out at the last games. We are just about to go over | :18:44. | :18:51. | |
to life boxing at the SECC. Earlier we saw Nicola Adams more than live | :18:52. | :18:58. | |
up to her tag as favourite. Next up, a men's light flyweight | :18:59. | :19:01. | |
quarterfinal. There is no doubt about who is the star in this one. | :19:02. | :19:21. | |
Defending champion. Does that add more pressure? Not really. Our aim | :19:22. | :19:29. | |
is always to win. There is always that pressure there. I usually win | :19:30. | :19:43. | |
bronze. I am going for gold here. Are you aware of the crowd when you | :19:44. | :19:49. | |
are boxing? Now I can hear my coaches clearly. It gives you a big | :19:50. | :19:56. | |
boost. Especially with the family getting behind me. I often think, | :19:57. | :20:05. | |
what am I doing here? I could be at home watching TV. But once the bell | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
goes, all of that goes away and it is game on. Different scoring system | :20:10. | :20:16. | |
at these Commonwealth Games. And also no head guard. The scoring | :20:17. | :20:27. | |
means that now you have two fight all the way through. I think it is | :20:28. | :20:35. | |
great that there is no head guard. You are expected to fight five times | :20:36. | :20:44. | |
in a daze. I don't think there should be so many bouts in such a | :20:45. | :20:51. | |
short time. Is that a concern going in? It is boxing. You are always | :20:52. | :21:04. | |
going to get hit. The don't get me wrong, I would love to turn | :21:05. | :21:08. | |
professional. 40,000 euros guaranteed. It would be stupid for | :21:09. | :21:21. | |
me to go professional. Would you be disappointed with anything less than | :21:22. | :21:28. | |
gold? I would be disappointed with anything less than the gold medal. | :21:29. | :21:32. | |
In a funny way, I wouldn't be disappointed if somebody better than | :21:33. | :21:39. | |
me beat me. The think any body out there is capable of meeting you? No. | :21:40. | :21:53. | |
There is Clyde looking very excited at the prospect of life boxing. And | :21:54. | :22:00. | |
so are we. Behind me, the SEC complex, John Inver Dale is there. | :22:01. | :22:09. | |
What have you got for us? We have nine boxers from the home nations | :22:10. | :22:17. | |
tonight. Not just Paddy Barnes. There is Ahmed Ahil. Conor Coyle and | :22:18. | :22:34. | |
Tony Fowler from England in the middleweight. When Paddy Barnes | :22:35. | :22:45. | |
walks into the ring, there is a sense that something special is | :22:46. | :22:49. | |
about to happen. That is exactly what you were talking about with | :22:50. | :22:56. | |
Nicola early on. She has got that in star quality. It just energises an | :22:57. | :23:06. | |
entire auditorium. This is a brilliantly orchestrated venue. But | :23:07. | :23:17. | |
one or two fights, there are ones with not a lot of action. When she | :23:18. | :23:23. | |
walked into the place, it all lit up. It was absolutely brilliant. | :23:24. | :23:29. | |
People are just revelling in her glory. She set fire to the Olympics | :23:30. | :23:36. | |
two years ago. She was involved in her first-round match, late at | :23:37. | :23:40. | |
night. This afternoon, the packed boxing arena. Look at the power she | :23:41. | :23:48. | |
generates. She is a smiler but she is lethal. It is not the punching | :23:49. | :23:54. | |
that impresses me so much. At ringside, the thing that amazes me | :23:55. | :24:03. | |
and fascinates me and intrigues as. Her footwork is almost balletic. She | :24:04. | :24:09. | |
is so light on her feet. She really does float like a butterfly and | :24:10. | :24:14. | |
sting like a bee. You watch her fight and she could be doing any | :24:15. | :24:19. | |
sport. She has such natural athletic ability. It is boxing's good fortune | :24:20. | :24:26. | |
that she is in the ring. After the fight I asked her, it is a bit like | :24:27. | :24:31. | |
Usain Bolt at the start of the 100 metres. He feels there is more to | :24:32. | :24:38. | |
being a runner than just running. He has two entertain the crowd, VA | :24:39. | :24:43. | |
showman. Bring the sport to the widest possible constituency. When | :24:44. | :24:49. | |
you watch Nicola in the ring, she is smiling the whole time, even though | :24:50. | :24:53. | |
there is serious stuff to be done. She has a way of engaging with the | :24:54. | :24:58. | |
crowd. She has the way of saying, I am part of you and you are part of | :24:59. | :25:03. | |
me. The effect that Nicola Adams is having is huge. You would say that | :25:04. | :25:09. | |
already, three days into it, already it feels that the women's bouts have | :25:10. | :25:16. | |
been in the Commonwealth Games scheduled for years. It doesn't feel | :25:17. | :25:20. | |
like a novelty. It is an established sport. Talking about Nicola Adams. A | :25:21. | :25:28. | |
great performance she put into day. Let's talk about the men tonight. | :25:29. | :25:33. | |
They have been doing really well. The home nations and territories in | :25:34. | :25:39. | |
the boxing. You have got the headphones because it is | :25:40. | :25:42. | |
unbelievably noisy and the support is clearly going to be good for the | :25:43. | :25:46. | |
Scottish boxers. For all of the home nations, it is allowed and loud. One | :25:47. | :25:53. | |
of the great things, there was a lot of talk before the games began about | :25:54. | :25:57. | |
how the Scottish crowd would respond to other home nation athletes. I was | :25:58. | :26:07. | |
lucky enough to be at Bray Ibrox -- to be at Ibrox. It was extraordinary | :26:08. | :26:14. | |
to be there with people shouting for England and Wales. Obviously, the | :26:15. | :26:21. | |
support for the Scottish boxers is the greatest, that goes without | :26:22. | :26:25. | |
saying. A couple of the fighters today were Glaswegian. Everybody in | :26:26. | :26:31. | |
the auditorium knew them personally. The great thing about how | :26:32. | :26:35. | |
fair-minded the crowds have been is that English fighters, fighters from | :26:36. | :26:39. | |
Northern Ireland and Wales have had brilliant support from this packed | :26:40. | :26:45. | |
auditorium. From the very first session. 4500 people in here. That | :26:46. | :26:51. | |
is what is making the event so special. It is also what is | :26:52. | :26:55. | |
encouraging the home nation performance to get the best of their | :26:56. | :27:00. | |
ability and as a consequence, Scotland, England, Wales and | :27:01. | :27:05. | |
Northern Ireland had so many fighters in the latter stages. In | :27:06. | :27:08. | |
every weight division. There fighters in the latter stages. In | :27:09. | :27:15. | |
aerial view of the ring. Very shortly we are going to have | :27:16. | :27:16. | |
first fighters in the ring, including Ashley Williams from | :27:17. | :27:23. | |
Wales. We are in the light flyweight category. COMMENTATOR: Welcome to | :27:24. | :27:43. | |
session 12 at the SECC. This is day six. We are starting off with the | :27:44. | :27:53. | |
quarterfinals in the smallest division of all. The men's light | :27:54. | :27:58. | |
flyweight division. Plenty of home interest. Coming up akeel Ahmed from | :27:59. | :28:17. | |
Scotland and then the Northern Irishman, the exciting Paddy Barnes. | :28:18. | :28:29. | |
Once again a terrific crowd here in this purpose-built arena in the | :28:30. | :28:30. | |
middle of the SECC. Ashley Williams from Wales, the | :28:31. | :29:05. | |
23-year-old soldier born in Bridgend. Residing now in Tidwor, | :29:06. | :29:17. | |
Tidworth. His coach is having a few last words with him. It has been | :29:18. | :29:23. | |
well documented, the campaign did not get off with the best of the | :29:24. | :29:30. | |
starts, Freddy Evans refused accreditation. Five judges at ring | :29:31. | :29:51. | |
side. The referee is from Columbia. Now it is time to meet the boxers. | :29:52. | :30:05. | |
First representing Malaysia, it is Muhammad Redzuan. And across the | :30:06. | :30:15. | |
ring in the blue corner, representing Wales! Ashley Williams! | :30:16. | :30:32. | |
The referee from Columbia. Three, three minute rounds. Final | :30:33. | :30:45. | |
instructions from the referee who is from Columbia. Special attention | :30:46. | :30:51. | |
being made to the use of the head, for the first time in the | :30:52. | :30:54. | |
Commonwealth Games there are no head guards. A place then in the medal | :30:55. | :31:02. | |
stage in the semi finals await the winner of this one. We have a | :31:03. | :31:07. | |
southpaw in the man in red representing Malaysia, in his second | :31:08. | :31:12. | |
Commonwealth Games, Muhammad Redzuan. And another soldier, the ot | :31:13. | :31:20. | |
docks boxer -- orthodox boxer in blue is Ashley Williams from Wales. | :31:21. | :31:27. | |
He got to the later stages of the World Championships in Kazakhstan | :31:28. | :31:34. | |
last year. He came through against a boxer from Mozambique. Wales and | :31:35. | :31:44. | |
Ashley Williams in blue and Wails Malaysia with Mohd Redzuan in red. | :31:45. | :31:54. | |
The last time he got the tactics right and similarly here, he has got | :31:55. | :31:59. | |
to get the tactics right against a southpaw who sits back. Williams | :32:00. | :32:03. | |
likes to be busy and move in and out. But is in Malaysian is a tricky | :32:04. | :32:09. | |
customer also. He doesn't come forward often. He sits on that back | :32:10. | :32:13. | |
foot. Williams has got to trigger him off and make him lead and come | :32:14. | :32:18. | |
back at him or close him down with fast feet sboo position and then -- | :32:19. | :32:23. | |
into position and then throw the shots. The third contest for the | :32:24. | :32:28. | |
Malaysian who is competing in his second Commonwealth Games. Four | :32:29. | :32:40. | |
years ago in Delhi, he won his opening contest but lost to Singh | :32:41. | :32:47. | |
from India. Williams trying to hope his man will stop moving so he can | :32:48. | :32:52. | |
land something. That will not happen I don't think. Williams will need to | :32:53. | :33:04. | |
tie him up. The fella in red will try and frustrate Williams, make him | :33:05. | :33:10. | |
lead with his shots and go back at him, catch him on the counter. This | :33:11. | :33:14. | |
is where Williams needs to work. But he needs to throw punches in threes | :33:15. | :33:19. | |
and fours. That was better. He got his opponent to hold his feet. That | :33:20. | :33:27. | |
what is he has got to do. Good defensive work by Redzuan. He only | :33:28. | :33:34. | |
shipped one pump and Williams would -- punch and Williams would be | :33:35. | :33:38. | |
hoping to get three or four. At the moment you fancy the man in red to | :33:39. | :33:42. | |
have taken this round. Williams will be pushing home in the last few | :33:43. | :33:52. | |
seconds if he can. A fast left hand into the mid rift from the Malaysian | :33:53. | :33:56. | |
into Ashley Williams. Not a bad round. A very brisk round. Williams | :33:57. | :34:02. | |
pats the hands together, do you think he has won this? It was a | :34:03. | :34:08. | |
frustrating round for Williams. Colin Jones will know he needs to | :34:09. | :34:13. | |
get to this man and close him down. He had the opportunity, but he | :34:14. | :34:19. | |
didn't find the quality of shots. He has got to throw threes and fours. | :34:20. | :34:25. | |
He just gets caught to the body. But this Malaysian is tricky. He sits | :34:26. | :34:31. | |
and moves and I think the man in red got it. The two judges have gone for | :34:32. | :34:38. | |
Mohd Redzuan, one has gone for Ashley Williams. | :34:39. | :34:56. | |
The Malaysian is a bit rusty, but I think he said give him the old one | :34:57. | :35:05. | |
two. One judge well for Ashley Williams in this quarter-final. | :35:06. | :35:26. | |
Williams has to try and get inside. Mohd Redzuan hanging on to the | :35:27. | :35:37. | |
Welshman's armament a good spot by the referee. That was a shove. That | :35:38. | :35:43. | |
was a shove. He is just a bit eager to go forward here, Williams. I want | :35:44. | :35:48. | |
him to go forward, but he has got to do it in the form of a double jab, | :35:49. | :35:55. | |
or two or three or four jabs to close him down. Then when you get | :35:56. | :35:59. | |
there, work. That is better. Now he has got to find room and space on | :36:00. | :36:04. | |
the inside. That will be difficult if this Malaysian keeps wanting to | :36:05. | :36:08. | |
hold. He is going to have watch himself, Redzuan. That is the second | :36:09. | :36:12. | |
caution he has got. He has not got a warning yet. But he has been | :36:13. | :36:17. | |
cautioned a couple of times for one or two indiscretions. A better right | :36:18. | :36:21. | |
hand by Williams. That is the best shot he has thrown and we are more | :36:22. | :36:26. | |
than now half way through the second round. Williams coming forward. | :36:27. | :36:33. | |
Better by Williams. Good chopping little lefts. They may not have | :36:34. | :36:38. | |
landed, but they have kept his opponent honest. I think that will | :36:39. | :36:42. | |
have impressed the judges, working the body, the judges are preferring | :36:43. | :36:47. | |
boxers who are going forward. If he is working down stairs, they will, I | :36:48. | :36:52. | |
think they will find for him. That is better from Williams. The | :36:53. | :36:54. | |
movement from the Malaysian has slowed down and he is not throwing | :36:55. | :37:00. | |
out those long range shots. Williams is maybe getting to him and the | :37:01. | :37:06. | |
chance to really get to his man. He let him off the hook there again. He | :37:07. | :37:11. | |
is doing well, in he is slowing Redzuan's feet down and making his | :37:12. | :37:15. | |
hold his feet. But he has got to maximise it and work the body. | :37:16. | :37:27. | |
Redzuan seems to have found a second gear. Again a bit of illegality, | :37:28. | :37:36. | |
hitting around the back of the head. Williams chasing him down. Clever | :37:37. | :37:44. | |
use of the shoulder by Mohd Redzuan. Better stuff inside by Williams. A | :37:45. | :37:49. | |
couple of shots to the ribs and a slip to the head. The body shots now | :37:50. | :37:55. | |
scoring. A good right hand to the chin. I think he may have taken this | :37:56. | :38:01. | |
round. And then it will all to box for in the third and final round. | :38:02. | :38:08. | |
Williams caught up with him and when he does catch up with him, he is the | :38:09. | :38:14. | |
better man. He stepped on the gas and started to find the quality | :38:15. | :38:19. | |
punches. Good straight left hand there. His opponent is a bit | :38:20. | :38:23. | |
punches. Good straight left hand and reckless. But that 30 or 40 | :38:24. | :38:26. | |
seconds could have been enough to take the round. He started to work | :38:27. | :38:29. | |
well to the body. Let's have a look at the scores. Yes, Williams has got | :38:30. | :38:35. | |
it. That means that Williams is ahead on one judge's card. The | :38:36. | :38:40. | |
others have it even. You cannot score a contest even. You can't | :38:41. | :38:45. | |
score a round even. If you win a round you get 10 points, the loser | :38:46. | :38:49. | |
gets from 9 down to 6. The man in blue representing Wales | :38:50. | :39:06. | |
in this first of the light fly weight quarter-finals, Ashley | :39:07. | :39:11. | |
Williams, conceded the first round. But won the second. So it is | :39:12. | :39:15. | |
everything to box for. A good left hand by Williams. | :39:16. | :39:25. | |
A crucial period this now. Redzuan landed with a good shot. He looked | :39:26. | :39:36. | |
to be tiring at the end of that second round. But it was that | :39:37. | :39:41. | |
movement and his awkward southpaw style that caused Wasps problems. | :39:42. | :39:49. | |
The -- Williams problems. The Malaysian's movement isn't good for | :39:50. | :39:52. | |
me. He goes from corner to corner and holding his feet. A couple of | :39:53. | :40:00. | |
cracking body shots by Williams. Again Redzuan pressing his | :40:01. | :40:06. | |
opponent's head down. Williams has got to step it up here and catch his | :40:07. | :40:13. | |
man. Again the Malaysian is holding. What will the referee do about that? | :40:14. | :40:17. | |
Nothing is the answer, apart from break them up. Williams did the | :40:18. | :40:25. | |
better work on the inside. Great stuff by Williams. | :40:26. | :40:38. | |
The Welshman stalking him and Mohd Redzuan running. | :40:39. | :40:48. | |
That is better from Williams. We have seen it by these judges, they | :40:49. | :40:53. | |
don't like a boxer going on the back foot all the time. You have got to | :40:54. | :40:57. | |
go forward and it is Williams that is pressing room. He is starting to | :40:58. | :41:02. | |
rough him up a bit and Redzuan showing signs of tiredness now. One | :41:03. | :41:07. | |
good shot from Williams could change things. I think Williams is doing | :41:08. | :41:16. | |
enough to steal it. Williams can't afford to concede anything in the | :41:17. | :41:21. | |
way of clean shots. Redzuan is tiring. Williams is winning this, | :41:22. | :41:28. | |
there is nothing coming back from Mohd Redzuan in terms of him pushing | :41:29. | :41:33. | |
Williams back. He is on the retreat all the time. Wasps turning it on. | :41:34. | :41:40. | |
-- Williams turning it on. He got him to the body with a good left | :41:41. | :41:45. | |
hand. Redzuan has escaped, but Williams is all over him. A great | :41:46. | :41:50. | |
finish and Williams I feel, having conceded the first round, squared it | :41:51. | :41:54. | |
up in the second is taking the third round with a wee bit to spare. A | :41:55. | :41:59. | |
great last three minutes from Williams. He reckons he has got it. | :42:00. | :42:03. | |
I think he has got it. I think he has got it. He want ed to win that | :42:04. | :42:10. | |
contest. More than his opponent. He kept pressing. Yes, he got caught | :42:11. | :42:14. | |
here and there. But the fella in red didn't come forward at all. And the | :42:15. | :42:19. | |
way they're judging, they like you to come forward. Williams did all | :42:20. | :42:23. | |
the pressing. Did the better work to the body. Found the quality shots. | :42:24. | :42:27. | |
Catches his opponent with the right hand left hook and he is back after | :42:28. | :42:31. | |
him again. The bell goes. Williams knows he has got it and I think he | :42:32. | :42:42. | |
has. This would be a terrific victory should his hand be raised. | :42:43. | :42:55. | |
We have our judges scorecards all in agreement, through to the next | :42:56. | :43:01. | |
round, the winner in the blue corner, Ashley Williams! He has got | :43:02. | :43:15. | |
it. Impossible for Ashley Williams to disguise his emotions. What a | :43:16. | :43:20. | |
great last round by the little Welshman. He has done really well. | :43:21. | :43:30. | |
Brilliant. He wanted it more. He clearly wanted to win that contest | :43:31. | :43:38. | |
more than his opponent. Nice polite opponent that he is, he says, after | :43:39. | :43:45. | |
you son. Then he waves his arms to say this is my contest. Well done by | :43:46. | :43:51. | |
Williams. Almost knocking down the rest of the Welsh coaching team. He | :43:52. | :43:57. | |
is a very happy little Welshman. If my eyes don't deceive me, he has | :43:58. | :44:10. | |
been brought over to speak to John. I thought you were going to burst | :44:11. | :44:15. | |
into floods of tears. Well done. Yes. A gold-medal. As I promised for | :44:16. | :44:29. | |
my kids. I am chuffed to bits. Sorry. I am so emotional. Don't | :44:30. | :44:38. | |
apologise. Did you know it was one round each in the final round? I | :44:39. | :44:44. | |
didn't know anything. I just tried to put the pressure on. He was too | :44:45. | :44:51. | |
tricky. I can't get my words out. I can't believe it. My wife has made | :44:52. | :44:58. | |
it tonight and my mum. Are they the ladies with the fly? With the red | :44:59. | :45:07. | |
hair, jumping around. They are my team all the way. Your work is not | :45:08. | :45:16. | |
done yet. I am on the podium. I just want to get the medal. I just want | :45:17. | :45:23. | |
to wish luck to all of the British teams. Well done. Many | :45:24. | :45:34. | |
congratulations, Ashley. A very happy and emotional Welshman. To the | :45:35. | :45:41. | |
Scottish entry. In this very competitive light flyweight | :45:42. | :45:55. | |
division. 21 years of age. Ahmed. Another soldier and a very fancied | :45:56. | :46:09. | |
boxer in this division. Boxed in the Olympic Games a couple of years ago. | :46:10. | :46:23. | |
Ahmed born in Dundee. A resident of Motherwell in Lanarkshire. Not too | :46:24. | :46:33. | |
far away. These are the judges. Three of them will be selected | :46:34. | :46:45. | |
randomly to score the contest. 33-minute rounds of boxing. | :46:46. | :47:04. | |
Representing Scotland, Aqeel Ahmed. In the blue corner, representing | :47:05. | :47:30. | |
India Devendro Laishman. COMMENTATOR: The Scots boxer Aqeel | :47:31. | :47:40. | |
Ahmed is a little bit taller but the opponent is a lot more experienced. | :47:41. | :47:53. | |
In the first round, they both had a bye. Aqeel Ahmed beat a Kenyan in | :47:54. | :48:03. | |
the second round. It was lovely to hear his Welsh counterpart wish him | :48:04. | :48:12. | |
all the best. But he has a big task to get past the experienced Indian | :48:13. | :48:18. | |
boxer. Very tough indeed against this fella in blue. Another of these | :48:19. | :48:23. | |
very talented Indian boxer. They have a good team here. They have | :48:24. | :48:29. | |
changed their whole system in India and we see them doing well at | :48:30. | :48:33. | |
tournaments all over the world. Aqeel Ahmed is taller, he has the | :48:34. | :48:38. | |
tools to do it. That was nice, a lovely 1-2. Lovely long range work. | :48:39. | :48:54. | |
Good shot by the Scotsman. Again, a good uppercut. Nice variation by | :48:55. | :49:04. | |
Aqeel Ahmed. A smaller opponents. Around the corner, that was | :49:05. | :49:07. | |
delivered well with the knuckle of the glove. The gloves used to have | :49:08. | :49:16. | |
white patches to indicate the the glove. The gloves used to have | :49:17. | :49:22. | |
part. They have done away with that. They have done away with the head | :49:23. | :49:28. | |
guard as well. I have two say, Aqeel Ahmed is boxing very nicely against | :49:29. | :49:31. | |
one of the favourites of the tournament. His timing is spot-on. | :49:32. | :49:38. | |
He is coming in fairly straight. A lovely left hook. I like these | :49:39. | :49:44. | |
right-handers. He needs to get off the ropes. It is all about accuracy. | :49:45. | :49:50. | |
He is finding quality work. Super uppercut. He had his hands up and | :49:51. | :49:59. | |
his elbows well tucked in. The referee from Algeria breaks them. | :50:00. | :50:04. | |
The last 30 seconds or so. A good opening round by the bigger of the | :50:05. | :50:09. | |
team in representing Scotland. The Indian. The referee lets them just | :50:10. | :50:18. | |
work it out. That was a good uppercut by Devendro Laishram. He | :50:19. | :50:24. | |
got his timing wrong there and that is how he got caught. That is | :50:25. | :50:38. | |
better. Battering away. A good left-hander at the end but the Bell | :50:39. | :50:43. | |
had gone. I have a funny feeling that the Scotsman has won this | :50:44. | :50:50. | |
round. He boxed very well. He wasn't overawed by his much more | :50:51. | :50:54. | |
experienced opponent. He got the timing right. This Indian is going | :50:55. | :50:59. | |
to keep going, he is a strong guy in deed. But this fella might have the | :51:00. | :51:08. | |
right shots. Walks into that one. But had some success of his own with | :51:09. | :51:13. | |
that right hand. Generally, Aqeel Ahmed fought very well, on the | :51:14. | :51:19. | |
inside also. Let's have a look at the scores. It will be interesting. | :51:20. | :51:31. | |
2-1. It was close. All to play for. All to box for. The first round just | :51:32. | :51:50. | |
about to the 22-year-old from India. Got to the quarterfinals of the | :51:51. | :51:54. | |
Olympic Games a couple of years ago. Quarterfinals of the World | :51:55. | :51:59. | |
Championships. Runner-up in the Asian Championships. Rated number | :52:00. | :52:06. | |
three in the world. His opponent, the taller of the two. Big compared | :52:07. | :52:15. | |
to the Indian. Scotland's Aqeel Ahmed boxed very well in the first | :52:16. | :52:21. | |
round. He needs to get the jab out and speed up the following right. He | :52:22. | :52:27. | |
has to concentrate on not letting this fella close down the gap. | :52:28. | :52:32. | |
Plenty of jabs. There you go, you cannot set for the attack if the jab | :52:33. | :52:37. | |
is in his face. That is what he should be doing. He should be fast | :52:38. | :52:41. | |
and accurate. Do not let this fella in on the inside. He has got to go | :52:42. | :52:55. | |
back to long range. That was better. He is quick to the first punch. A | :52:56. | :53:03. | |
good uppercut as he came in by Aqeel Ahmed. This is when you have to push | :53:04. | :53:14. | |
him back now and again. Now and again, just stepped in. That is | :53:15. | :53:18. | |
better. Keep in there. Long straight arms. Don't go back. Keep him off | :53:19. | :53:39. | |
balance. A good little right hand by the man in red. He needs to get the | :53:40. | :53:44. | |
uppercut in if he possibly can. He is getting caught, though. Devendro | :53:45. | :53:52. | |
Laishram landing a few good shots. Again, that wasn't with the correct | :53:53. | :54:02. | |
part of the glove. Eight close round again but the aggressor has been | :54:03. | :54:07. | |
Devendro Laishram. A good right hand by him. He believed felt that. Now | :54:08. | :54:18. | |
finding his man with single shots. I think Ahmed has done his fair share | :54:19. | :54:23. | |
of good work in this round. That is better. That has got him. He is | :54:24. | :54:34. | |
caught with the left hook. His guard went missing for the first time in | :54:35. | :54:40. | |
this contest. Aqeel Ahmed finds himself on the seat of his pants. | :54:41. | :54:46. | |
Oxon. There is the end of the second round. What a calamitous finish it | :54:47. | :54:52. | |
was. What a very good shot it was by Devendro Laishram. Aqeel Ahmed will | :54:53. | :54:58. | |
have two clear his head. He knows it is a big task. That shot probably | :54:59. | :55:08. | |
sealed the round for the Indian. A cracking punch. Just gets caught | :55:09. | :55:16. | |
with the left hook. A super punch. He did not want to get up. You can | :55:17. | :55:23. | |
see his head just twist. A cracking punch. Brilliant technique. He is a | :55:24. | :55:32. | |
strong guy. Up until then, it was a very close round. I think Ahmed did | :55:33. | :55:39. | |
well. That probably sealed it for Devendro Laishram. All three judges | :55:40. | :55:46. | |
giving the round to the fella coming out of the blue corner. This will be | :55:47. | :55:56. | |
the decider. The world number three showed why he is rated so highly | :55:57. | :56:00. | |
with that beautiful left fork towards the end of the second round. | :56:01. | :56:06. | |
It put the Scotsman in red, Aqeel Ahmed, on the seat of his pants. Can | :56:07. | :56:15. | |
Devendro Laishram do it again. Ahmed sensibly covering up. He has got to | :56:16. | :56:23. | |
get back to buzzing. He has got to move off to the side occasionally. | :56:24. | :56:28. | |
Keep its long and then move off to the side. Just holding his feet. | :56:29. | :56:33. | |
That suits the Indian. Closing back gap down. Good footwork by Ahmed. He | :56:34. | :56:42. | |
turned his man nicely but he hasn't capitalised. Just falling a bit | :56:43. | :56:53. | |
short with the jab and the right. Throwing those long shots just keeps | :56:54. | :56:58. | |
his opponent off balance. It is difficult with the straight shots | :56:59. | :57:04. | |
coming at him. A real test now for this young Scot. There is that | :57:05. | :57:12. | |
left-hander game. Not quite as decisive as the other one. -- left | :57:13. | :57:24. | |
hand again. It is just slipping away from Aqeel Ahmed. He has had the | :57:25. | :57:33. | |
stuffing knocked out of him. Devendro Laishram was always the | :57:34. | :57:39. | |
favourite to progress in this competition from the top half of the | :57:40. | :57:45. | |
draw. Body and head now from Devendro Laishram. Ahmed has slowed | :57:46. | :57:53. | |
right down. He is getting caught. He is doing his best but he is not | :57:54. | :57:59. | |
really moving. The movement has gone and it is allowing Devendro Laishram | :58:00. | :58:02. | |
to close the gap. He is confident now. He is really showing that now. | :58:03. | :58:14. | |
Survival now is on the mind of Aqeel Ahmed. Unless he can find a | :58:15. | :58:25. | |
conclusive knockout punch. Many positives to take from this contest | :58:26. | :58:30. | |
for Ahmed. He is going out of the tournament but he | :58:31. | :58:33. | |
for Ahmed. He is going out of the ranked boxer and he has performed | :58:34. | :58:35. | |
quite well. ranked boxer and he has performed | :58:36. | :58:40. | |
that really tired him. But he is still there. He has not | :58:41. | :58:43. | |
that really tired him. But he is in this contest. Lots of skills | :58:44. | :58:48. | |
demonstrated by Aqeel Ahmed. But that shot at the end of the second | :58:49. | :58:53. | |
round and his all-round aggression means that the world number three | :58:54. | :58:58. | |
has gone through into the semifinals of this competition. He did his | :58:59. | :59:06. | |
has gone through into the semifinals and he did Scotland proud, I am to | :59:07. | :59:13. | |
say. A good performance considering the experience he has got. He is | :59:14. | :59:18. | |
just holding his feet there. You cannot do that with somebody as | :59:19. | :59:24. | |
experienced as Devendro Laishram. He picked his shots. Overall, he was | :59:25. | :59:34. | |
the better boxer. That left foot at the end of the second changed the | :59:35. | :59:36. | |
contest completely. -- left hook. Your winner, by unanimous decision | :59:37. | :59:42. | |
and now Your winner, by unanimous decision | :59:43. | :59:48. | |
through to the light flyweight semifinal, in the blue corner | :59:49. | :59:55. | |
representing India, Devendro Laishram! He has got it. One of the | :59:56. | :00:00. | |
fancied boxes for the gold medal as come through against Aqeel Ahmed. I | :00:01. | :00:08. | |
am sure we will see more of him but not in this tournament. We will see | :00:09. | :00:12. | |
a lot more of the man who has won this contest, the 22-year-old from | :00:13. | :00:21. | |
Delhi. He goes through to contest for the medals. Very pleased about | :00:22. | :00:31. | |
that. There is always a turning point in any sporting contest and it | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
was that fairly hefty punch towards the end of the second round which | :00:36. | :00:41. | |
put Aqeel Ahmed on the seat of his pants. He did so well to recover and | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
he is speaking to John. It looked like it was even Steven | :00:45. | :00:52. | |
until that punch at the end of the second. I can't actually remember | :00:53. | :00:57. | |
it, I was just sat on the floor. Just a big shot and he is a big | :00:58. | :01:02. | |
puncher and he caught me with one. I felt quite comfortable. What can you | :01:03. | :01:09. | |
do? Did it take the stuffing out of you? Kind of. When you know you are | :01:10. | :01:17. | |
two rounds down, you need a knockout or a point deduction I wasn't going | :01:18. | :01:24. | |
to get that. You get all your hard, thanks for talking to us -- all you | :01:25. | :01:31. | |
had. Paddy Barnes is coming into the ring now and there is a huge sense | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
of expectation in the arena. | :01:35. | :01:38. |
