:02:09. > :02:13.medal race. Speaking of medals, not much movement for Great Britain
:02:13. > :02:22.today, but the Americans have made a bit of a charge on China with
:02:22. > :02:28.three gold medals in track and We start with a sport that is
:02:28. > :02:33.assured of adding to the medal tally for Great Britain, and Paddy,
:02:33. > :02:43.who took bronze four years ago in Beijing, was certain of that if he
:02:43. > :02:47.
:02:47. > :02:52.could win his light-flyweight 2008 bronze medallist in this
:02:52. > :02:58.division. 49 kilograms, Paddy Barnes, the Belfast boxer, one of
:02:58. > :03:04.his trademark left hands into the body of his opponent in blue. The
:03:04. > :03:10.Indian, who caused a major upset disposing of the Mongolian silver
:03:10. > :03:16.medallist from four years ago. We don't know if these fast hands will
:03:16. > :03:22.suit Paddy. For if it is important that he keeps the guard high. What
:03:22. > :03:25.he has to watch out for his landing the combinations, breaking away
:03:25. > :03:34.from the combination when he moves away from the man, he has to keep a
:03:34. > :03:38.high guard. He got caught early on. So the Indian has fast hands. It is
:03:38. > :03:45.important about Barnes concentrates on defence just as much as his
:03:45. > :03:50.attack. Paddy getting in underneath the elbow of the Indian, but he has
:03:50. > :03:57.landed one or two good shots. Barnes soaks a lot of those up on
:03:57. > :04:06.the gloves. The referee indicating he should watch his head. Better
:04:06. > :04:10.variation by Barnes now. Barnes was hugely disappointed to have lost in
:04:10. > :04:15.his semi-final four years ago, but he did not get a single point on
:04:15. > :04:24.the computer scoring system. Good work by Barnes, trying to command
:04:24. > :04:29.He will definitely prefer a toe-to- toe battle, Barnes. But the Indian
:04:29. > :04:35.is a better mover than his opponent. But Barnes is very strong in the
:04:35. > :04:41.toe to toe. Barnes has got to try and draw him in. That is where he
:04:41. > :04:44.will have success, the Irishman. His performance against the
:04:44. > :04:49.Mongolian silver medallist was terrific. But that is better by
:04:49. > :04:53.Paddy Barnes. A punishing left hand into the body. Last minute, and
:04:53. > :05:00.Barnes gets him again. If he keeps doing that, that will take the
:05:00. > :05:05.steam out of him. A good left hook to the head. The Indian coming
:05:05. > :05:14.straight back, using his foot speed. Only 20 years of age. That was a
:05:14. > :05:18.bit naughty by Mr Barnes! Plus an admonition from the referee. A
:05:18. > :05:27.solid right from the Indian, and Barnes responds. That was a good,
:05:27. > :05:33.clear shot. I have always been impressed with Paddy Barnes, but
:05:33. > :05:38.I'm also impressed with this little Indian. He works well at a distance.
:05:38. > :05:41.He is just a bit suspect on the inside, gaps appearing. A good left
:05:41. > :05:47.hook from Barnes. He is a good straight puncher, the man in blue.
:05:47. > :05:53.Good movement. Barnes will do well with the left hooks on the inside
:05:53. > :06:03.here. A high-tempo round, but is it a high scoring one? Yes, and it is
:06:03. > :06:11.
:06:11. > :06:17.in favour of Paddy Barnes. He is 7- Very good. Look out for the jabs.
:06:17. > :06:23.Go for the body shots. Barnes is breaking away, and that is what you
:06:23. > :06:28.have to watch out for. He has to keep his guard up high. As he
:06:28. > :06:33.breaks away, he gets caught with a left hook. The Indian very quick
:06:33. > :06:39.with his counters and he waits for the opportunities, as Barnes is
:06:39. > :06:49.moving away. But Barnes, working well, in on the inside. He had the
:06:49. > :06:52.
:06:52. > :06:55.better of the exchanges at close To the giant screen above the
:06:55. > :07:05.Olympic boxing ring says that the man in red, Paddy Barnes, is
:07:05. > :07:09.leading. 7-5 against his 20-year- old opponent. If anybody is going
:07:09. > :07:15.to change style, it will have to be the Indian, because Harry Barnes
:07:15. > :07:19.doesn't know really how to, but it has been good enough to take into
:07:19. > :07:24.the top of the tree in this division for the time being. The
:07:24. > :07:28.Indian corner may have said to let him come to you, but that is not
:07:28. > :07:35.his style. Barnes is strictly a counter-puncher. Good work by
:07:35. > :07:40.Barnes again. Barnes keeps his cool, and he could win this one. Look at
:07:40. > :07:46.the way he pops up, like a little snapping turtle. You see the head
:07:46. > :07:53.and he takes a bite of you. Barnes clipping him again with a good left
:07:53. > :07:57.hook. And again from Barnes. just has to work a bit more on the
:07:58. > :08:02.inside. He's punching well, straight, and starting to catch his
:08:02. > :08:07.opponent. His opponent's feet have slowed down, and that will suit
:08:07. > :08:13.Barnes. He can drag him into a toe- to-toe battle. But he also has to
:08:13. > :08:17.switch the attack and then try to finish with a left hook to the head.
:08:17. > :08:21.Just stay tight on the inside. big cheer from the Indian
:08:21. > :08:31.contingent. And it is a huge Indian contingent, almost matching the
:08:31. > :08:32.
:08:32. > :08:37.Barnes being first to switch to the south for attack. Encouraging his
:08:37. > :08:41.man to come and quicker to the punch. -- southpaw attack. Better
:08:41. > :08:44.from Barnes. Now he comes forward. Does he think he has the measure of
:08:44. > :08:51.his man? He has given him a thumping around the body and the
:08:51. > :08:57.arms. Barnes, holding on the blind side of the wreck. He is going to
:08:57. > :09:03.get a warning. A header but went in. Naughty, naughty, naughty. That
:09:03. > :09:07.will not help him. That is going to help baddy Barnes. He was leading
:09:07. > :09:15.7-5 and he will be winning this round -- that will not help Harry
:09:15. > :09:21.Barnes. -- Paddy Barnes. Keating on the break, making mistakes, but the
:09:21. > :09:26.referee has to watch himself. He has got a bit frustrated, but
:09:26. > :09:33.Barnes is landing with the better quality work. He wasn't at his best
:09:33. > :09:38.in the opening contest. But he has picked up the work rate in the
:09:38. > :09:43.second round. He has got caught with the occasional shot, but that
:09:43. > :09:49.watertight defence of his has stood him in good stead in the contest.
:09:49. > :09:54.So important, and he has managed to draw his man in on the inside. He
:09:54. > :09:59.has imposed his style on the Indian. A good left hook there. Barnes
:09:59. > :10:03.comes back at him and get him underneath the right elbow. A
:10:03. > :10:13.cracking right to follow by Barnes. A better round by the boys in red
:10:13. > :10:13.
:10:13. > :10:17.from Ireland. Well, they will be glad of a breather, and so why! A
:10:17. > :10:24.busy second-round match - and so will I. Barnes landing a left at
:10:24. > :10:28.the end and he is 17-10 up. Paddy Barnes has a seven-point cushion
:10:28. > :10:38.going into the last round to give him at least a second successive
:10:38. > :10:39.
:10:39. > :10:44.Great round from Barnes. This is probably winning the contest. The
:10:44. > :10:50.tempo change, up in the work rate. Cork is a man with left hooks. This
:10:50. > :10:55.is the naughty bits. -- he caught his man with the left hooks. He is
:10:55. > :11:01.frustrated because Barnes is holding, but you cannot do that.
:11:01. > :11:06.Barnes working five or six punches. A great round for Barnes. If she
:11:06. > :11:12.does nothing silly in the last round and stays tight I cannot see
:11:12. > :11:19.the Indian coming back and reducing the deficit. Just has to stay calm
:11:19. > :11:29.and boxed sensibly. Paddy Barnes, in the red, won the first round 7-5.
:11:29. > :11:36.
:11:36. > :11:41.And he leads his opponent from All Barnes has to do is stick to
:11:41. > :11:45.his boxing, because the Indian it will come chasing. Ducking down a
:11:45. > :11:51.bit below the waist level. What he does not need to do is concede a
:11:51. > :11:59.few points for a warning now. Is he tiring of it? Definitely. He put so
:11:59. > :12:02.much into the second round and the upped the tempo. All he has to do
:12:02. > :12:07.is stay tight and not make any mistakes. Nothing is getting
:12:07. > :12:12.through from the Indian. Almost overbalancing with the effort.
:12:12. > :12:16.Barnes gets him with another good left hand. Barnes holding on again.

:12:28. > :12:33.He's getting more and more frustrated. Barnes getting a
:12:33. > :12:40.telling off again. Barnes getting his man with a good ride. Nicely
:12:41. > :12:46.done. Barnes dropping his head and trying to hand on. He does have a
:12:46. > :12:52.very good right hand, and fast feet, so Barnes just asked to step to the
:12:52. > :12:56.right. Just a simple sidestep -- just has to step to the right.
:12:56. > :13:06.hopes in Indian boxing for him, rated 19 in the world, the youngest
:13:06. > :13:12.
:13:12. > :13:15.member of the boxing squad. And Is Barnes going to get a warning
:13:15. > :13:18.for holding? I don't think it will make a big difference in the grand
:13:18. > :13:25.scheme of things. He was seven points ahead at the start of the
:13:25. > :13:30.round. Barnes can't afford to let anything slip now. I still think
:13:30. > :13:34.he's winning this contest. Barnes up on his toes, encouraging his man
:13:34. > :13:40.to come in. Good defence, that is what he does well. A great right
:13:40. > :13:47.hand going into the body of the Indian boxer. Good food work again
:13:47. > :13:52.by Barnes. Another clever contest from Paddy Barnes. For he has boxed
:13:52. > :13:57.well. He has to start slipping to his left. You know he is going to
:13:57. > :14:01.throw that, maybe throwing it in combination, so as he attacks,
:14:01. > :14:07.slipped to the left or sidestep to the right. But he should not be
:14:07. > :14:11.standing taking the shops, because they do get through occasionally.
:14:11. > :14:17.He was seven points up at the start of the round and conceded two
:14:17. > :14:21.because of the warning. Has he done enough to get six back? A good
:14:21. > :14:28.right from the Indian. Barnes is treading on thin ice. He is
:14:28. > :14:32.beginning to find the target. He wobbled him with a great ride.
:14:32. > :14:36.may just be the insurance policy punch that takes Paddy Barnes
:14:36. > :14:41.through to a second successive Olympic semi-final. Court with a
:14:41. > :14:45.sloppy right. A huge roar from the crowd from the Irish fans. The
:14:45. > :14:54.Indian it is looking the fresher of the two. I wonder if he thinks he
:14:54. > :14:59.has won it. The referee says he has to box. Last six seconds, Barnes
:14:59. > :15:03.coming through. A little left hook to finish. Slicing with the right
:15:03. > :15:08.hand. The Indian boxer things he has won it, but Harry Barnes is
:15:08. > :15:14.very sure that he has won it. And will Irish eyes be shining? Paddy
:15:14. > :15:19.Barnes is very sure. I think he came back in the last round and put
:15:19. > :15:25.three or four more points on the board and is definitely reducing
:15:25. > :15:35.the deficit, but for me, Barnes is the winner. Boxed very sensibly and
:15:35. > :15:37.
:15:37. > :15:43.the change in tempo and tactics has This Indian has got fast hands. He
:15:43. > :15:48.just gets caught on the inside there. Barnes did box sensibly. I
:15:48. > :15:55.think the Indian has actually won the last round, but not by enough
:15:55. > :16:02.points. I think he needs to win it by six, I don't think he has done
:16:02. > :16:12.enough to win it. The chaps in the blue corner, the red corner, I
:16:12. > :16:14.
:16:14. > :16:24.should say, think their man has one The winner, in the red corner,
:16:24. > :16:25.
:16:25. > :16:32.He has become the first Irish boxer to win back-to-back boxing medals,
:16:32. > :16:42.and only the second Irish Olympian to win medals at successive games.

:17:09. > :17:15.Thanks very much, he was very, very tough and strong, but I think I

:17:31. > :17:37.No, I told him to shut up, all the bid was snore all night, I couldn't
:17:37. > :17:42.sleep! You have done exceptionally well. You picked up a bronze medal
:17:42. > :17:50.in Beijing. What experience will you take into the next semi-final?
:17:50. > :17:55.The last time I fought the guy can he beat me 15-0. All I want to do
:17:55. > :18:04.now is call one point against him, that is me! You've got your tactic
:18:05. > :18:09.all sorted out. Good luck in the Give the man a single room! The
:18:09. > :18:15.Irish have done well in the boxing, that is three in the men's boxing

:19:15. > :19:20.is going to be coming up now, you can see the crowd getting excited.
:19:20. > :19:28.They are ready to see him trying guarantee himself a bronze medal.
:19:28. > :19:32.When you were in Athens, you were the captain, the only fighter there,
:19:32. > :19:36.what will you be feeling like after all this success? He will have a
:19:36. > :19:41.lot of pressure, because he is the team captain, and you hold a lot of
:19:41. > :19:48.pressure on your shoulders when you're the team captain. If he wins,
:19:48. > :19:54.then everyone else has to win, he keeps the spirit going. He is
:19:54. > :19:58.fighting a Mongolian, he is a tough fighter, really big, Tom Stalker
:19:58. > :20:03.looks great, he was training back in my gym in Bolton, he looked in
:20:03. > :20:06.great shape. I think he's going to get through this fight and
:20:06. > :20:16.guarantee himself a medal. This whole crowd is looking forward to
:20:16. > :20:21.
:20:21. > :20:29.it. In terms of the Mongolian, They have just about settled in
:20:29. > :20:32.their seats. They gave Tom Stalker from Liverpool a standing entry.
:20:32. > :20:39.But what a contest he has got against one of the most experienced
:20:39. > :20:47.men in the division. The Mongolian, Munkh-Erdene Uranchimeg, rated No.
:20:47. > :20:53.2 in the world. This is how good this contest is. It is a positive
:20:53. > :21:01.start from Munkh-Erdene Uranchimeg. He is taking it to Tom Stalker.
:21:01. > :21:08.That will suit Tom Stalker. Now and again, the Mongolian drops the left
:21:08. > :21:18.hand. But what a busy start by the 30-year-old, world bronze medallist
:21:18. > :21:20.
:21:20. > :21:26.at in Milan in 2009. Vastly It is the attacking southpaw in
:21:26. > :21:32.blue against the counter-attacking style over Tom Stalker in red. He
:21:32. > :21:40.just needs to quicken up his feet and hands. Only a minute gone,
:21:40. > :21:45.though, mind you. Stalker has got a very good guard. What he has got to
:21:45. > :21:48.do also with the jab is its which that left hand to the body and
:21:48. > :21:58.finish with the right up to the head. That is a combination which
:21:58. > :22:03.
:22:03. > :22:09.Stalker coming back into it a little bit, he had a slowish start.
:22:09. > :22:15.Stalker has to keep that guard up. Munkh-Erdene Uranchimeg, throwing

:22:42. > :22:45.go. Stalker, a little bit of a breather. He got caught with a

:22:55. > :23:03.Uranchimeg, 30 years of age, All the movement coming from the
:23:03. > :23:13.Mongolian. Stalker has got to be faster with the characters. --
:23:13. > :23:13.
:23:13. > :23:16.Landed with a good shot, but took a good shot. I don't think there is
:23:16. > :23:23.much in this into the last half- minute of the first round. Stalker
:23:23. > :23:33.on his toes now, bouncing a little bed. He had a hard contest against

:23:38. > :23:43.the Indian, Kumar. Kneeling in his Come on, Tom Stalker, you need a
:23:43. > :23:51.punch or two just to win this round. I think it might have gone to the
:23:51. > :24:01.man in blue. It is six apiece. A couple of booze coming around from

:24:03. > :24:09.the Mongolian support. -- Boos. close round. Mongolia -- the
:24:09. > :24:16.Mongolian through a lot of punches. You cannot call that a score, it
:24:16. > :24:22.was too high on the head. That was a scoring shot, it was a good punch.

:25:03. > :25:07.confessed bad boy. He has turned it all round and he will be a hero if
:25:08. > :25:14.he could win this one, but to do that, he has to beat a very serious

:26:22. > :26:31.from him at, I think the Mongolian has felt a couple of good power
:26:31. > :26:37.shots from him. The timing of the shots from Tom Stalker is crucial.
:26:37. > :26:47.What he is doing now is he is pushing his man onto the back foot.

:26:48. > :26:53.A bit of a change in tactics from A The most important thing is letting
:26:53. > :26:57.his fists to the talking, and he is doing that now as we going to the
:26:58. > :27:04.third and last minute of this second round. Nothing between them
:27:04. > :27:11.at the moment. I have a feeling the British team skipper, with a shot
:27:11. > :27:16.like that, has got that squashed nose of his ahead. I would just
:27:16. > :27:20.like to see a wanted to right hook from Tom Stalker, he has to raise

:28:22. > :28:30.caught there towards the end of the round, Tom Stalker. It caught him

:28:34. > :28:40.job in that corner, he has got to motivate him, getting off the stool,
:28:40. > :28:45.that is his job. Give good instructions. This was excellent

:29:41. > :29:48.he heard in the corner. Munkh- Erdene Uranchimeg has one of those
:29:48. > :29:53.granite chippings. He has been told to keep those shut up. How close is
:29:53. > :30:01.this going to be? Stalker cannot afford to take anything by chance.

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