Day 12 has not been Britain's most productive, not a single gold medal

:00:54.:01:04.
:01:04.:01:07.

won. The inquest begins tomorrow! Ares Merritt was the star as

:01:07.:01:14.

America stormed to gold. Lawrence Clarke claimed a superb 4th place.

:01:14.:01:19.

There was more joy for the USA as Allyson Felix finally got her hand

:01:19.:01:24.

on Olympic gold in the 200 metres after Da Silva in Athens and in

:01:24.:01:30.

Beijing. -- after a silver medal in Athens and in Beijing. Brittney

:01:30.:01:34.

Reese won the long jump. Shara Proctor was a disappointing 9th for

:01:34.:01:40.

Great Britain. Nicola Adams has won a least a silver medal after

:01:40.:01:45.

reaching the final of the flyweight division thanks to a superb win

:01:45.:01:53.

over the Indian five time world champion. And the sailing duo of

:01:53.:02:00.

the Saskia Clarke and Hannah Mills are guaranteed silver than the 470

:02:00.:02:03.

class and they will battle it out for gold with New Zealand in the

:02:03.:02:09.

medal race. Speaking of medals, not much movement for Great Britain

:02:09.:02:13.

today, but the Americans have made a bit of a charge on China with

:02:13.:02:22.

three gold medals in track and We start with a sport that is

:02:22.:02:28.

assured of adding to the medal tally for Great Britain, and Paddy,

:02:28.:02:33.

who took bronze four years ago in Beijing, was certain of that if he

:02:33.:02:43.
:02:43.:02:47.

could win his light-flyweight 2008 bronze medallist in this

:02:47.:02:52.

division. 49 kilograms, Paddy Barnes, the Belfast boxer, one of

:02:52.:02:58.

his trademark left hands into the body of his opponent in blue. The

:02:58.:03:04.

Indian, who caused a major upset disposing of the Mongolian silver

:03:04.:03:10.

medallist from four years ago. We don't know if these fast hands will

:03:10.:03:16.

suit Paddy. For if it is important that he keeps the guard high. What

:03:16.:03:22.

he has to watch out for his landing the combinations, breaking away

:03:22.:03:25.

from the combination when he moves away from the man, he has to keep a

:03:25.:03:34.

high guard. He got caught early on. So the Indian has fast hands. It is

:03:34.:03:38.

important about Barnes concentrates on defence just as much as his

:03:38.:03:45.

attack. Paddy getting in underneath the elbow of the Indian, but he has

:03:45.:03:50.

landed one or two good shots. Barnes soaks a lot of those up on

:03:50.:03:57.

the gloves. The referee indicating he should watch his head. Better

:03:57.:04:06.

variation by Barnes now. Barnes was hugely disappointed to have lost in

:04:06.:04:10.

his semi-final four years ago, but he did not get a single point on

:04:10.:04:15.

the computer scoring system. Good work by Barnes, trying to command

:04:15.:04:24.

He will definitely prefer a toe-to- toe battle, Barnes. But the Indian

:04:24.:04:29.

is a better mover than his opponent. But Barnes is very strong in the

:04:29.:04:35.

toe to toe. Barnes has got to try and draw him in. That is where he

:04:35.:04:41.

will have success, the Irishman. His performance against the

:04:41.:04:44.

Mongolian silver medallist was terrific. But that is better by

:04:44.:04:49.

Paddy Barnes. A punishing left hand into the body. Last minute, and

:04:49.:04:53.

Barnes gets him again. If he keeps doing that, that will take the

:04:53.:05:00.

steam out of him. A good left hook to the head. The Indian coming

:05:00.:05:05.

straight back, using his foot speed. Only 20 years of age. That was a

:05:05.:05:14.

bit naughty by Mr Barnes! Plus an admonition from the referee. A

:05:14.:05:18.

solid right from the Indian, and Barnes responds. That was a good,

:05:18.:05:27.

clear shot. I have always been impressed with Paddy Barnes, but

:05:27.:05:33.

I'm also impressed with this little Indian. He works well at a distance.

:05:33.:05:38.

He is just a bit suspect on the inside, gaps appearing. A good left

:05:38.:05:41.

hook from Barnes. He is a good straight puncher, the man in blue.

:05:41.:05:47.

Good movement. Barnes will do well with the left hooks on the inside

:05:47.:05:53.

here. A high-tempo round, but is it a high scoring one? Yes, and it is

:05:53.:06:03.
:06:03.:06:11.

in favour of Paddy Barnes. He is 7- Very good. Look out for the jabs.

:06:11.:06:17.

Go for the body shots. Barnes is breaking away, and that is what you

:06:17.:06:23.

have to watch out for. He has to keep his guard up high. As he

:06:23.:06:28.

breaks away, he gets caught with a left hook. The Indian very quick

:06:28.:06:33.

with his counters and he waits for the opportunities, as Barnes is

:06:33.:06:39.

moving away. But Barnes, working well, in on the inside. He had the

:06:39.:06:49.
:06:49.:06:52.

better of the exchanges at close To the giant screen above the

:06:52.:06:55.

Olympic boxing ring says that the man in red, Paddy Barnes, is

:06:55.:07:05.

leading. 7-5 against his 20-year- old opponent. If anybody is going

:07:05.:07:09.

to change style, it will have to be the Indian, because Harry Barnes

:07:09.:07:15.

doesn't know really how to, but it has been good enough to take into

:07:15.:07:19.

the top of the tree in this division for the time being. The

:07:19.:07:24.

Indian corner may have said to let him come to you, but that is not

:07:24.:07:28.

his style. Barnes is strictly a counter-puncher. Good work by

:07:28.:07:35.

Barnes again. Barnes keeps his cool, and he could win this one. Look at

:07:35.:07:40.

the way he pops up, like a little snapping turtle. You see the head

:07:40.:07:46.

and he takes a bite of you. Barnes clipping him again with a good left

:07:46.:07:53.

hook. And again from Barnes. just has to work a bit more on the

:07:53.:07:57.

inside. He's punching well, straight, and starting to catch his

:07:58.:08:02.

opponent. His opponent's feet have slowed down, and that will suit

:08:02.:08:07.

Barnes. He can drag him into a toe- to-toe battle. But he also has to

:08:07.:08:13.

switch the attack and then try to finish with a left hook to the head.

:08:13.:08:17.

Just stay tight on the inside. big cheer from the Indian

:08:17.:08:21.

contingent. And it is a huge Indian contingent, almost matching the

:08:21.:08:31.
:08:31.:08:32.

Barnes being first to switch to the south for attack. Encouraging his

:08:32.:08:37.

man to come and quicker to the punch. -- southpaw attack. Better

:08:37.:08:41.

from Barnes. Now he comes forward. Does he think he has the measure of

:08:41.:08:44.

his man? He has given him a thumping around the body and the

:08:44.:08:51.

arms. Barnes, holding on the blind side of the wreck. He is going to

:08:51.:08:57.

get a warning. A header but went in. Naughty, naughty, naughty. That

:08:57.:09:03.

will not help him. That is going to help baddy Barnes. He was leading

:09:03.:09:07.

7-5 and he will be winning this round -- that will not help Harry

:09:07.:09:15.

Barnes. -- Paddy Barnes. Keating on the break, making mistakes, but the

:09:15.:09:21.

referee has to watch himself. He has got a bit frustrated, but

:09:21.:09:26.

Barnes is landing with the better quality work. He wasn't at his best

:09:26.:09:33.

in the opening contest. But he has picked up the work rate in the

:09:33.:09:38.

second round. He has got caught with the occasional shot, but that

:09:38.:09:43.

watertight defence of his has stood him in good stead in the contest.

:09:43.:09:49.

So important, and he has managed to draw his man in on the inside. He

:09:49.:09:54.

has imposed his style on the Indian. A good left hook there. Barnes

:09:54.:09:59.

comes back at him and get him underneath the right elbow. A

:09:59.:10:03.

cracking right to follow by Barnes. A better round by the boys in red

:10:03.:10:13.
:10:13.:10:13.

from Ireland. Well, they will be glad of a breather, and so why! A

:10:13.:10:17.

busy second-round match - and so will I. Barnes landing a left at

:10:17.:10:24.

the end and he is 17-10 up. Paddy Barnes has a seven-point cushion

:10:24.:10:28.

going into the last round to give him at least a second successive

:10:28.:10:38.
:10:38.:10:39.

Great round from Barnes. This is probably winning the contest. The

:10:39.:10:44.

tempo change, up in the work rate. Cork is a man with left hooks. This

:10:44.:10:50.

is the naughty bits. -- he caught his man with the left hooks. He is

:10:50.:10:55.

frustrated because Barnes is holding, but you cannot do that.

:10:55.:11:01.

Barnes working five or six punches. A great round for Barnes. If she

:11:01.:11:06.

does nothing silly in the last round and stays tight I cannot see

:11:06.:11:12.

the Indian coming back and reducing the deficit. Just has to stay calm

:11:12.:11:19.

and boxed sensibly. Paddy Barnes, in the red, won the first round 7-5.

:11:19.:11:29.
:11:29.:11:36.

And he leads his opponent from All Barnes has to do is stick to

:11:36.:11:41.

his boxing, because the Indian it will come chasing. Ducking down a

:11:41.:11:45.

bit below the waist level. What he does not need to do is concede a

:11:45.:11:51.

few points for a warning now. Is he tiring of it? Definitely. He put so

:11:51.:11:59.

much into the second round and the upped the tempo. All he has to do

:11:59.:12:02.

is stay tight and not make any mistakes. Nothing is getting

:12:02.:12:07.

through from the Indian. Almost overbalancing with the effort.

:12:07.:12:12.

Barnes gets him with another good left hand. Barnes holding on again.

:12:12.:12:16.

The just try to catch him on the inside with the single shot, keep

:12:16.:12:26.
:12:26.:12:28.

He's getting more and more frustrated. Barnes getting a

:12:28.:12:33.

telling off again. Barnes getting his man with a good ride. Nicely

:12:33.:12:40.

done. Barnes dropping his head and trying to hand on. He does have a

:12:41.:12:46.

very good right hand, and fast feet, so Barnes just asked to step to the

:12:46.:12:52.

right. Just a simple sidestep -- just has to step to the right.

:12:52.:12:56.

hopes in Indian boxing for him, rated 19 in the world, the youngest

:12:56.:13:06.
:13:06.:13:12.

member of the boxing squad. And Is Barnes going to get a warning

:13:12.:13:15.

for holding? I don't think it will make a big difference in the grand

:13:15.:13:18.

scheme of things. He was seven points ahead at the start of the

:13:18.:13:25.

round. Barnes can't afford to let anything slip now. I still think

:13:25.:13:30.

he's winning this contest. Barnes up on his toes, encouraging his man

:13:30.:13:34.

to come in. Good defence, that is what he does well. A great right

:13:34.:13:40.

hand going into the body of the Indian boxer. Good food work again

:13:40.:13:47.

by Barnes. Another clever contest from Paddy Barnes. For he has boxed

:13:47.:13:52.

well. He has to start slipping to his left. You know he is going to

:13:52.:13:57.

throw that, maybe throwing it in combination, so as he attacks,

:13:57.:14:01.

slipped to the left or sidestep to the right. But he should not be

:14:01.:14:07.

standing taking the shops, because they do get through occasionally.

:14:07.:14:11.

He was seven points up at the start of the round and conceded two

:14:11.:14:17.

because of the warning. Has he done enough to get six back? A good

:14:17.:14:21.

right from the Indian. Barnes is treading on thin ice. He is

:14:21.:14:28.

beginning to find the target. He wobbled him with a great ride.

:14:28.:14:32.

may just be the insurance policy punch that takes Paddy Barnes

:14:32.:14:36.

through to a second successive Olympic semi-final. Court with a

:14:36.:14:41.

sloppy right. A huge roar from the crowd from the Irish fans. The

:14:41.:14:45.

Indian it is looking the fresher of the two. I wonder if he thinks he

:14:45.:14:54.

has won it. The referee says he has to box. Last six seconds, Barnes

:14:54.:14:59.

coming through. A little left hook to finish. Slicing with the right

:14:59.:15:03.

hand. The Indian boxer things he has won it, but Harry Barnes is

:15:03.:15:08.

very sure that he has won it. And will Irish eyes be shining? Paddy

:15:08.:15:14.

Barnes is very sure. I think he came back in the last round and put

:15:14.:15:19.

three or four more points on the board and is definitely reducing

:15:19.:15:25.

the deficit, but for me, Barnes is the winner. Boxed very sensibly and

:15:25.:15:35.
:15:35.:15:37.

the change in tempo and tactics has This Indian has got fast hands. He

:15:37.:15:43.

just gets caught on the inside there. Barnes did box sensibly. I

:15:43.:15:48.

think the Indian has actually won the last round, but not by enough

:15:48.:15:55.

points. I think he needs to win it by six, I don't think he has done

:15:55.:16:02.

enough to win it. The chaps in the blue corner, the red corner, I

:16:02.:16:12.
:16:12.:16:14.

should say, think their man has one The winner, in the red corner,

:16:14.:16:24.
:16:24.:16:25.

He has become the first Irish boxer to win back-to-back boxing medals,

:16:25.:16:32.

and only the second Irish Olympian to win medals at successive games.

:16:32.:16:42.
:16:42.:16:43.

The hammer throw a Callaghan did We will see more of this youngster

:16:43.:16:48.

from India. But we are looking forward to seeing more of Paddy

:16:48.:16:55.

Barnes in another Olympic boxing I can see you soaking up every

:16:55.:16:59.

second of this support, you have given the Irish crowd everything to

:16:59.:17:02.

shout about, you are guaranteed another metal, congratulations.

:17:03.:17:09.

Thanks very much, he was very, very tough and strong, but I think I

:17:09.:17:15.

have shown in the end, I would like to thank every Irish supporter it

:17:15.:17:21.

here, it was unbelievable. Your other one for the Olympic

:17:21.:17:25.

experience, but did your room made TV tips about what to do last but?

:17:25.:17:31.

No, I told him to shut up, all the bid was snore all night, I couldn't

:17:31.:17:37.

sleep! You have done exceptionally well. You picked up a bronze medal

:17:37.:17:42.

in Beijing. What experience will you take into the next semi-final?

:17:42.:17:50.

The last time I fought the guy can he beat me 15-0. All I want to do

:17:50.:17:55.

now is call one point against him, that is me! You've got your tactic

:17:55.:18:04.

all sorted out. Good luck in the Give the man a single room! The

:18:05.:18:09.

Irish have done well in the boxing, that is three in the men's boxing

:18:09.:18:15.

and K Keller -- Katie Taylor guaranteed at least a silver. We

:18:15.:18:22.

now have Tom Stalker against Munkh- Erdene Uranchimeg of Mongolia.

:18:22.:18:32.
:18:32.:18:34.

Before we see that, let's go over to our presenters there. It is warm

:18:34.:18:40.

and toasty here in the Stadium macro, it gets very noisy when the

:18:41.:18:46.

Irish are in the house. It is the British boxers will be focusing on

:18:46.:18:52.

today. Five medals they have bagged in the boxing, they could make it a

:18:52.:18:56.

sick for if team captain Tom Stalker makes his quarter-final

:18:56.:19:05.

cowed against his opponent. We have Amir Khan with us. Tom Stalker, a

:19:05.:19:10.

fine leader and an even better boxer. He is the only one left, he

:19:10.:19:15.

is going to be coming up now, you can see the crowd getting excited.

:19:15.:19:20.

They are ready to see him trying guarantee himself a bronze medal.

:19:20.:19:28.

When you were in Athens, you were the captain, the only fighter there,

:19:28.:19:32.

what will you be feeling like after all this success? He will have a

:19:32.:19:36.

lot of pressure, because he is the team captain, and you hold a lot of

:19:36.:19:41.

pressure on your shoulders when you're the team captain. If he wins,

:19:41.:19:48.

then everyone else has to win, he keeps the spirit going. He is

:19:48.:19:54.

fighting a Mongolian, he is a tough fighter, really big, Tom Stalker

:19:54.:19:58.

looks great, he was training back in my gym in Bolton, he looked in

:19:58.:20:03.

great shape. I think he's going to get through this fight and

:20:03.:20:06.

guarantee himself a medal. This whole crowd is looking forward to

:20:06.:20:16.
:20:16.:20:21.

it. In terms of the Mongolian, They have just about settled in

:20:21.:20:29.

their seats. They gave Tom Stalker from Liverpool a standing entry.

:20:29.:20:32.

But what a contest he has got against one of the most experienced

:20:32.:20:39.

men in the division. The Mongolian, Munkh-Erdene Uranchimeg, rated No.

:20:39.:20:47.

2 in the world. This is how good this contest is. It is a positive

:20:47.:20:53.

start from Munkh-Erdene Uranchimeg. He is taking it to Tom Stalker.

:20:53.:21:01.

That will suit Tom Stalker. Now and again, the Mongolian drops the left

:21:01.:21:08.

hand. But what a busy start by the 30-year-old, world bronze medallist

:21:08.:21:18.
:21:18.:21:20.

at in Milan in 2009. Vastly It is the attacking southpaw in

:21:20.:21:26.

blue against the counter-attacking style over Tom Stalker in red. He

:21:26.:21:32.

just needs to quicken up his feet and hands. Only a minute gone,

:21:32.:21:40.

though, mind you. Stalker has got a very good guard. What he has got to

:21:40.:21:45.

do also with the jab is its which that left hand to the body and

:21:45.:21:48.

finish with the right up to the head. That is a combination which

:21:48.:21:58.
:21:58.:22:03.

Stalker coming back into it a little bit, he had a slowish start.

:22:03.:22:09.

Stalker has to keep that guard up. Munkh-Erdene Uranchimeg, throwing

:22:09.:22:15.

everything at him. Such is the noise, Stalker has got to go back

:22:15.:22:25.
:22:25.:22:36.

to his corner. They are attacking Back they come again, one minute to

:22:36.:22:42.

go. Stalker, a little bit of a breather. He got caught with a

:22:42.:22:45.

letter from the Mongolian. This is a good round from Munkh-Erdene

:22:45.:22:55.

Uranchimeg, 30 years of age, All the movement coming from the

:22:55.:23:03.

Mongolian. Stalker has got to be faster with the characters. --

:23:03.:23:13.
:23:13.:23:13.

Landed with a good shot, but took a good shot. I don't think there is

:23:13.:23:16.

much in this into the last half- minute of the first round. Stalker

:23:16.:23:23.

on his toes now, bouncing a little bed. He had a hard contest against

:23:23.:23:33.
:23:33.:23:38.

the Indian, Kumar. Kneeling in his Come on, Tom Stalker, you need a

:23:38.:23:43.

punch or two just to win this round. I think it might have gone to the

:23:43.:23:51.

man in blue. It is six apiece. A couple of booze coming around from

:23:51.:24:01.
:24:01.:24:03.

the Mongolian support. -- Boos. close round. Mongolia -- the

:24:03.:24:09.

Mongolian through a lot of punches. You cannot call that a score, it

:24:09.:24:16.

was too high on the head. That was a scoring shot, it was a good punch.

:24:16.:24:22.

Coming forward here, nothing getting through there. Then Tom

:24:22.:24:32.
:24:32.:24:38.

Stalker responds with that right Amir Khan, who nearly went all the

:24:38.:24:48.
:24:48.:24:50.

way in Athens in the lightweight What a racket in south and -- south

:24:50.:25:00.

London here. He has got a good left hand, the Liverpudlian, the self-

:25:00.:25:03.

confessed bad boy. He has turned it all round and he will be a hero if

:25:03.:25:07.

he could win this one, but to do that, he has to beat a very serious

:25:08.:25:14.

contender in Blitz. His third Olympic Games, Munkh-Erdene

:25:14.:25:20.

Uranchimeg from Mongolia. You heard his coach, saying he has to work

:25:20.:25:26.

better with his character, asking for a better reaction from Tom

:25:26.:25:33.

Stalker. -- counter. He has got to double it up with the right hook,

:25:33.:25:40.

may be a double white took to the body and to the head. He has a

:25:40.:25:46.

tendency to let that right hand of his get low. He heard him there

:25:46.:25:51.

with that right hook. He went back a little bit, the Mongolian. Still

:25:51.:25:56.

hasn't recovered. Good punching by Tom Stalker, and another right hand.

:25:56.:26:03.

Now he is landing. He may well have scored. Once he has scored, even if

:26:03.:26:07.

the referee says it is not a legal blow, you cannot take it back on

:26:07.:26:17.

No time for a shot. Stalker, has he done enough? How close will this

be? A really close fight. Stalker I think did enough to win the contest

in the last round. For me, Stalker did enough to win it. He was a

enough work in the last round, a bit scrappy at times, and the

he has lost it. But it has gone to the veteran Mongolian in his third

:33:53.:33:59.

Olympic Games, and Thomas Stalker cannot believe it. He is distraught.

:33:59.:34:03.

He is going out of the arena in double quick time. He will be

:34:03.:34:07.

hugely disappointed because he is the British team captain. You have

not let anybody down, Thomas. You gave it everything you have. This

fellow got the decision and it could have gone either way so

easily. The last round was even, and I thought he had won the last

:34:21.:34:29.

and also the second, but 23, 22 has dashed the hopes of Thomas Stalker.

:34:29.:34:38.

I'm not sure he can believe it Such disappointment for Stalker, he

did not want to talk any want so no interview. -- talk to anyone. Let's

:34:45.:34:55.

get another view on the decision A very close fight and he put a

:34:55.:35:01.

great performance on. So close, up 23-22. But he did not get the

:35:01.:35:06.

decision, and I'm sure he will come back stronger. I must say, a

:35:06.:35:14.

terrific fight. It is one of those things. Thomas was the captain and

:35:14.:35:19.

it was one of those things where he had a lot of pressure on him.

:35:19.:35:24.

of people have high expectations for Tom but he did not deliver. He

:35:24.:35:28.

will come back stronger. That is boxing. It is how you come back

:35:28.:35:32.

from a fight, and I think he will come back stronger. Regardless of

:35:32.:35:38.

the decision, this is Britain's best boxing performance since

:35:38.:35:41.

Melbourne in 1956 because we are guaranteed at least five medals of

:35:41.:35:47.

some description. That is quite an effort. It is a brilliant effort.

:35:47.:35:51.

To be involved in these Olympics, it's just brilliant to be part of

:35:51.:35:57.

this, working for the BBC. But I've seen some great boxing. Five medals,

:35:57.:36:03.

and to have six fighters in the quarter-finals is huge. It just

:36:03.:36:08.

shows that boxing is getting better and better. Who is the best bet for

:36:08.:36:13.

the gold? I mean, Nicola Adam looks good. She looked a brilliant

:36:13.:36:17.

fighter. I would not want to get into the ring with her. Great food

:36:17.:36:21.

work. She is one of the favourites to win a gold medal -- great

:36:21.:36:31.

footwork. One fighter who was a room-mate with me is Luke Campbell,

:36:31.:36:36.

and I think he has a great chance of winning a gold medal. OK, thank

:36:36.:36:41.

you for joining us. We look forward to speaking to you again soon. That

what the Olympics is about, the veritable mix we have. Some of

those show jumpers are even older than me. He told me today he used

to go drinking with your dad in Kenilworth when you were a kid, so

:37:26.:37:29.

this is a sport where you can have quite a few campaigns in the

:37:29.:37:34.

Olympics. I was watching, and it looked like Nick would go clear and
