:00:31. > :00:37.City's trip to Newcastle, with the help of their midfielder Jonathan
:00:37. > :00:46.de Guzman. It's Part Two of Team Clev, and the
:00:46. > :00:52.Welshman's quest to conquer America. You have got to come to the state
:00:52. > :00:55.if you want the big time in boxing. -- to the United States.
:00:55. > :00:59.Plus, Cardiff City skipper Mark Hudson on Middlesbrough and press
:00:59. > :01:06.criticism. It is not the first time I have had it and I am sure it will
:01:06. > :01:09.not be the last, everybody is entitled to their opinion.
:01:09. > :01:12.Well, from Milburn to Shearer, MacDonald to Beardsley, so many
:01:12. > :01:15.legends have made their name here at St James' Park. Currently,
:01:15. > :01:18.Newcastle are enjoying something of a renaissance, after some troubled
:01:18. > :01:21.times on Tyneside. So can Swansea pull off what would arguably be
:01:21. > :01:31.their best away win since promotion to the Premier League? We've been
:01:31. > :01:42.
:01:42. > :01:46.getting the views from both sets of There is a box Office quality to
:01:46. > :01:52.this current Newcastle side, finishing 5th last season but 10
:01:52. > :01:56.for just one place above Swansea now. And admiration on Tyneside of
:01:56. > :02:00.howled for swans have settled at a top-level. There are a few examples
:02:00. > :02:04.of clubs that have done well in the Premier League and Swansea are
:02:04. > :02:08.definitely be one of those. Well and run, they have a principle they
:02:08. > :02:14.want to stick to a vision and that is important, to know how you will
:02:14. > :02:19.play and watch a want to do. Be new manager has taken it up from
:02:19. > :02:23.Brenton and. The two Spanish guys have done very well and it is a
:02:23. > :02:28.tough test for us because we are going to have a stadium that will
:02:28. > :02:34.expect us to win. This is a game that anything could happen. If we
:02:34. > :02:40.play to our best, I think we can get everything. We could get three
:02:40. > :02:43.points, one point. If we are not at our best, it is a team that really
:02:43. > :02:48.can create a lot of problems because they have quality in
:02:48. > :02:54.midfield, were really good players. A special fixture for Danny Graham,
:02:54. > :03:00.the Swansea striker, always a Geordie at heart! I went to
:03:00. > :03:04.Barcelona and got a hat-trick and was there for Shearer's first goal.
:03:04. > :03:09.It is nice to play against a hometown club for but we are going
:03:09. > :03:14.to get three points, and I played for Swansea City and although I am
:03:14. > :03:18.a Newcastle fan, and want to win. Be his players have been making the
:03:18. > :03:24.most of the headlines. But Ann on loan at midfielder has been
:03:24. > :03:30.impressive, time to put him under the spotlight -- but Anna on loan
:03:30. > :03:39.at midfielder. What is your name? Jonathan de Guzman. Where were you
:03:39. > :03:44.born of? Canada. For ridiculing you tried? Holland. -- where did you
:03:44. > :03:50.learn your trade. How many -- how much money was spent a new? 80
:03:50. > :03:56.million Euros. I qualify for Holland, Jamaica, Canada and the
:03:56. > :04:03.Philippines. And want to play for Holland. Of this midfielder I have
:04:03. > :04:08.placed -- played come up Osman it. Danny Ryan is the biggest character,
:04:08. > :04:15.he is talking all the time. Michael Laudrup wants to keep you at
:04:15. > :04:18.Swansea, holiday eager to stay at Swansea? I am happy here, I have
:04:18. > :04:23.been playing a week in and week out and the guys have been very
:04:23. > :04:28.welcoming to me. I am enjoying my time here and that is my option. I
:04:28. > :04:31.am doing well here with the team and I think we are played good
:04:31. > :04:38.football. And he scored in the capital one Cup match in Liverpool,
:04:38. > :04:43.how was that? -- you scored. It felt great contributed as guns --
:04:43. > :04:50.to Swansea and it was an historic game for Swansea and I am happy to
:04:50. > :04:59.be a part of it. He said Leo Osman is the toughest midfielder you have
:04:59. > :05:04.played against, but Newcastle have a number of tough midfielders.
:05:04. > :05:08.is a good 14. I know what they are capable of and we have been
:05:08. > :05:12.watching them throughout the week. Knee know what they are capable of
:05:12. > :05:17.and hopefully we can put a good show on and get a good result -- we
:05:17. > :05:23.know. And joined at St James' Park by
:05:23. > :05:28.former England defender, with 242 appearances for Newcastle, Steve
:05:28. > :05:33.how a. Looking ahead to the game, Newcastle, what is their record
:05:33. > :05:39.like at home and can Swansea win away? They have only won once away
:05:39. > :05:44.from home this season. It will be a big ask for Swansea. Even if
:05:44. > :05:51.Newcastle are having a difficult time, the crowd does help a lot.
:05:51. > :05:55.They do get packed in here, a full house every week. And it will be a
:05:55. > :05:59.tough game for Swansea. But so far this season, the form of Newcastle
:05:59. > :06:05.at home has not been brilliant. Even though this season, they
:06:05. > :06:11.haven't lost a couple of games. what have you made a Swansea so far
:06:11. > :06:16.this season? -- what have you. Where will they be the season?
:06:16. > :06:22.did so well under Brendan Rodgers and Duddo Martinez, and the new
:06:22. > :06:26.manager has come in. -- and Martinez. There were a few not good
:06:26. > :06:31.results, but they are making their mark and playing well, they have
:06:31. > :06:36.picked up lately. I do not think they have anything massively to
:06:36. > :06:40.fear. If Newcastle get on top early, it could be difficult for the away
:06:40. > :06:46.team but if they keep the fans quiet early, and they always have a
:06:46. > :06:51.chance. Score prediction? I am going to stick my neck out, I do
:06:51. > :06:59.not gamble and I never have, but his score prediction, 2-1 for
:06:59. > :07:02.Newcastle. Return -- thank you. We turn our attention away from
:07:02. > :07:04.football now. Last week, we brought you all the build-up, as Nathan
:07:04. > :07:07.Cleverly prepared to defend his light-heavyweight title against
:07:07. > :07:10.Shawn Hawk in Los Angeles. This week, we bring you Part Two, as
:07:10. > :07:20.Sport Wales were in Team Clev's corner and dressing room with a
:07:20. > :07:24.
:07:24. > :07:29.World champ -- Nathan Cleverly, World Champion but a relative
:07:29. > :07:34.unknown until last week. He wanted to make a big impression against
:07:34. > :07:41.Shawn Hawk. He could become a different fighter overnight. I came
:07:41. > :07:48.here to fight. I was most impressed with Nathan Cleverly. Ready for
:07:48. > :07:52.action, ready for business! Friday morning and the LA whether
:07:52. > :07:58.allows the way into be held outdoors in front of the Staples
:07:58. > :08:08.Center. A big showdown tomorrow night, Nathan Cleverly, also Shawn
:08:08. > :08:14.
:08:14. > :08:18.Hawk! He is in perfect condition. I did not turn around!
:08:18. > :08:24.Coming to the scales, undefeated, light heavyweight champion of the
:08:24. > :08:29.World! Half a pound under weight, that is perfect. I feel in great
:08:29. > :08:35.shape and I feel as though I could be unstoppable tomorrow night. He
:08:35. > :08:41.has a point to prove. He wants to come over here and make a good show,
:08:41. > :08:47.so the pressure is off on him. It is my time to make my name and
:08:47. > :08:52.shine and make sure they know who I Three the key part of the fight
:08:52. > :08:57.will be the first few rounds -- the key part. He has had 20 winners and
:08:57. > :09:02.not 16 guys out and most of them in the first, second, third round,
:09:02. > :09:07.very early. He will be dangerous and strong early on and try and
:09:07. > :09:13.take me on. With a few hours before the big fight, a vital piece of
:09:13. > :09:18.equipment is missing. An emergency head and is now! I am trying to
:09:18. > :09:27.find a shot to get one, I have got to have my head and! That is my
:09:27. > :09:35.which will be for the fight. Panic over, all is in order. Thank you.
:09:35. > :09:40.For three hours before the fight, finally got it sorted. We are in
:09:40. > :09:44.the hotel lobby waiting to leave for the arena, so this is the
:09:44. > :09:49.exciting bit where the adrenalin starts going, and want to hear that
:09:49. > :09:59.Bell now and get going. So since last Wednesday, I have not stopped,
:09:59. > :10:03.
:10:03. > :10:09.I have been a trainer, a so West, psychologist. -- a sewer. If you
:10:09. > :10:16.not come down and, go to the corner, at any fauna is all -- any corner
:10:16. > :10:21.is all right. Fight like a champion and look like champions. Time to
:10:21. > :10:26.put the finishing up touches in place, including that all-important
:10:26. > :10:32.bandana stomach this is the serious and to the business, this fight is
:10:32. > :10:36.so important, I cannot afford to be a father tonight. He definitely is
:10:37. > :10:41.not going to lose. He has worked very hard and I feared he will do
:10:41. > :10:47.the business, to be honest. With less than three minutes to go,
:10:47. > :10:57.there is no sign of his Sutton -- of his star-studded entourage. For
:10:57. > :11:01.
:11:01. > :11:09.a fashionably late arrival, and relief all round! How are you?
:11:09. > :11:14.Remind us how this came about? Mickey Rourke called me because he
:11:14. > :11:19.is doing a film about the Welsh Rugby, and he talked to me about
:11:19. > :11:23.maybe been in the movie. So we were talking about that and he is very
:11:23. > :11:28.interested in all things Welsh, so when he found out this fight was
:11:28. > :11:33.going on, he called me up and told me about it and I was in Los
:11:33. > :11:39.Angeles and he said to come and see him fight. I had heard about him,
:11:39. > :11:45.Nathan, but never seen him fight, so I came. I used to box when I was
:11:45. > :11:49.a kid but I am a better singer than a boxer so I did not perceive that.
:11:49. > :11:59.But I have always loved boxing and any time I can see boxing live, I
:11:59. > :12:06.
:12:06. > :12:12.Here is be undefeated WBO light have -- lightweight champion of the
:12:12. > :12:18.world, Nathan Cleverly! It is easy to get caught up in the
:12:18. > :12:23.moment and under pressure and lose your game-plan. But I feel
:12:23. > :12:27.experienced enough now to deal with that and to stay controlled, to be
:12:27. > :12:34.efficient in my performance, and that is what I intend to do. I hope
:12:34. > :12:40.I will be able to carry that out. He dominates the opening three
:12:40. > :12:43.rounds, flying go for 100 punches per around at his American opponent.
:12:43. > :12:49.Be dangerous right fossil group -- the dangers right of Shawn Hawk
:12:49. > :12:54.catches him in the 4th, but after this, it is one way traffic.
:12:54. > :13:04.needs to impress tonight if he is going to while the American fans.
:13:04. > :13:07.
:13:07. > :13:17.There has been a demand for him. -- wow. After a barrage of punches,
:13:17. > :13:25.his opponent is flawed. Back on his feet after belonged powered, only
:13:25. > :13:33.to hit the deck again. -- a longer fight. A are you all right? If yes.
:13:33. > :13:42.Time! After being saved by the Bell, Shawn Hawk goes down for a third
:13:42. > :13:48.time. T want to go? One more and it is over. -- you want to go.
:13:48. > :13:54.nearly, the referee stepped in just as a corner of Shawn Hawk thrown in
:13:54. > :14:02.the towel -- finally. So still undefeated and still the WBO light
:14:02. > :14:12.heavyweight champion of the world, Nathan Cleverly! One of the rounds,
:14:12. > :14:13.
:14:13. > :14:18.he started coming out and in the 7th round, I stepped in. I am so
:14:18. > :14:27.glad. This is the hard bit, but drugs test and I have no water left
:14:27. > :14:33.in me. In a great performance. we get him out of the way, we come
:14:33. > :14:43.up for the big guys, be a lead fight, the Americans. Best the lead
:14:43. > :14:47.fights. How do -- how does he built a reputation for himself? He has to
:14:47. > :14:52.have more fight, especially in America, like Joe Cole said the. It
:14:52. > :14:57.was only when he started beating Americans that he started to get
:14:57. > :15:03.noticed. You have to come to America if you want to hit the big-
:15:03. > :15:08.time inbox and. Coming to the United States, coming to the
:15:08. > :15:13.unknown, the unknown territory, you have nothing to lose, he went for
:15:13. > :15:17.it. He came to fight but I felt great and I felt unstoppable
:15:17. > :15:22.tonight. And we'll keep you up to date with
:15:22. > :15:25.Nathan's next opponent. Surfing now, and last weekend, the latest stage
:15:25. > :15:28.of one of the most important events on the British professional tour
:15:28. > :15:38.was held on the Welsh coastline. Sport Wales went along to check it
:15:38. > :15:50.
:15:50. > :16:00.Today it is the venue for the latest stage of the UK pro
:16:00. > :16:03.
:16:03. > :16:10.Sufficient r tour. Some of the best Tell us about the competition here
:16:10. > :16:16.today. This is the sort of brain child of the local surf club and
:16:16. > :16:22.the pro club and something we have angleded for ten years. We tried to
:16:22. > :16:27.select the best tai of surfing. We came to the -- day of surfing. We
:16:27. > :16:31.came to the beach today and it was today or nothing. Wildcard entries
:16:31. > :16:36.were given to the knockout heats and a unique opportunity to test
:16:36. > :16:41.themselves against some of the best professional surfers in the country.
:16:41. > :16:47.Kieran, only 12-year-old, you were the youngest competitor today. How
:16:47. > :16:51.was it? Hard because I was against all the top British surfers, but a
:16:51. > :16:57.good experience. Nice to surf against them. Some local knowledge
:16:57. > :17:03.came into play as well. It has been a disappointing morning
:17:03. > :17:06.for the local surfers, except for Nathan Phillips, who has qualified
:17:06. > :17:12.for the quarter-finals, which is about to get under way now. Making
:17:12. > :17:15.his first appearance for some time in competitive surfers, Phillips
:17:15. > :17:23.managed to reach the last eight with his best performance of the
:17:23. > :17:30.day. Being back in the water was an achievement in itself. There's --
:17:30. > :17:36.it's been tricky. I had a minor stroke, put it down to a stroke
:17:36. > :17:39.after a car crash. Good to get a result. We have reached the semi-
:17:39. > :17:46.final stage now. As you can see, the tide has come right in and the
:17:46. > :17:54.competition is hotting up. Phillips was drawn against two of
:17:54. > :17:57.Cornwall's best surfers, Robinson and Stokes. There was to be no
:17:57. > :18:05.repeat of his quarter-final performance. Semi-finals over.
:18:05. > :18:11.Didn't go to plan? The conditions were tricky. Basically, it is into
:18:11. > :18:18.ripping, it is nice to get tomorrow. The final was an all Cornish affair,
:18:18. > :18:28.with the four surfers going head- to-head with a �2,000 first prize,
:18:28. > :18:31.
:18:31. > :18:36.and points in the Relentless Super Series. The winner is Jake Robinson.
:18:36. > :18:45.Huge congratulations. How was today's surf? It was fun. I have
:18:45. > :18:50.never surfed this way before. I was surprised at how good it was.
:18:50. > :18:54.couple of guys go away thinking it is good to surf in Wales. These
:18:54. > :19:04.guys have come from Cornwall, Newcastle. They've had a taster of
:19:04. > :19:05.
:19:05. > :19:09.Back to football now and it is second against third in the
:19:09. > :19:13.championship tomorrow, as Cardiff host Middlesbrough, hoping to make
:19:13. > :19:20.history. They are unbeatable at home. There has been criticism of
:19:20. > :19:30.their away form and their captain. Lisa Rogers went to meet the
:19:30. > :19:40.
:19:40. > :19:45.Away from home this season, Cardiff have been a bit iffy, whereas at
:19:45. > :19:53.home they have been magnificent. Why is that? If we start with home
:19:53. > :19:57.form, we have made the stadium a fortress. We've got goals in the
:19:57. > :20:01.team and we've got attacking options. Someone said to me
:20:01. > :20:11.yesterday we have scored the most in the league, which is great to
:20:11. > :20:13.
:20:13. > :20:22.know. Away from home, we have conceded goals and unfortunately,
:20:22. > :20:26.Now. It is something I need to get better at and hold on to a few more
:20:26. > :20:30.people to get people to stick together. That is something we're
:20:30. > :20:35.all here to learn. All here to do and put right. It is not all doom
:20:35. > :20:43.and glam. We are two points off top. Like I said, if we can get our away
:20:43. > :20:49.form sorted out, then we'll be They have to look at themselves
:20:50. > :20:54.defensively with the five goals they have conceded. After the
:20:54. > :20:59.Charlton game I saw your Tweet. It said "we were not good enough today.
:20:59. > :21:04.We have to work on this." Everyone admires that honesty. You came in
:21:05. > :21:10.for criticism after that game. How does that affect you? Everyone is
:21:10. > :21:13.entitled to their opinion. You will get it in careers. I am sure it
:21:13. > :21:17.will not be the first time. You are on a learning process. I will keep
:21:17. > :21:21.learning until I have finished. I will work hard on the training
:21:21. > :21:26.field and help the players around me do the same. That is what we've
:21:26. > :21:30.got - we've got a great team. Hopefully I can be looked at as
:21:30. > :21:37.someone who can help them out if they are feeling low or not on top
:21:37. > :21:43.of their game. That's what I have always done. I have always done it.
:21:43. > :21:48.They are on the verge of history. Victory over Middlesbrough tomorrow
:21:48. > :21:56.could equal nine consecutive home wins.
:21:56. > :22:00.The team is one place above them in the league. Craig Bellamy and Matt
:22:00. > :22:04.Connolly are back in contention, having recovered from injury.
:22:04. > :22:10.good team together. They will come down here and it will be a real
:22:10. > :22:17.rock in the stadium. It will be where there'll be a big crowd.
:22:17. > :22:21.We've got to get three points. That's what counts. We'll go there
:22:22. > :22:25.in a positive frame of mind as we have been doing. They are a good
:22:25. > :22:28.side and they are playing well at the moment. We cannot really think
:22:28. > :22:33.about some of the previous results too much because they have changed
:22:33. > :22:37.a lot of things and so have we. They are playing well at the moment.
:22:38. > :22:42.They have come off the back of a good result. So have we. Our home
:22:42. > :22:50.form is as good as it is on paper at the moment. We need to maintain
:22:50. > :22:54.Steve, Cardiff City, unbeaten at home this season. And are
:22:54. > :22:59.Middlesbrough the team to break that record? It is a difficult one.
:22:59. > :23:03.I think two teams that's in great form. Look at Cardiff's record at
:23:03. > :23:07.home it is a hard one. Second verses third. You cannot get any
:23:07. > :23:12.better than that. The atmosphere, I am sure, will be very good. Cardiff
:23:12. > :23:18.will be a hard game. Middlesbrough will be the same.
:23:18. > :23:22.Which way it will go, I don't know. Obviously if you look at the record
:23:22. > :23:26.of Cardiff at home, you possibly might have to give them the edge.
:23:26. > :23:34.Give me a score prediction? Again, because I went against the Welsh on
:23:34. > :23:38.the last one, I'll go for them this time. I think will win 3-1. It has
