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.

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

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

:31:17.: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,

:33:44.:33:45.

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

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.
