0:16:56 > 0:17:01- He took his time - sizing up his opponent.
0:17:02 > 0:17:07- He wasn't as busy - as his corner had hoped...
0:17:07 > 0:17:10- ..and they've just told him that.
0:17:12 > 0:17:17- However, Morgan Jones has a distinct - advantage in terms of height...
0:17:18 > 0:17:20- ..which means of course...
0:17:20 > 0:17:24- ..he has a corresponding advantage - in terms of reach.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28- Once again, patience - is the first order of the round.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32- He's jabbing away at his opponent.
0:17:32 > 0:17:38- He's looking for a chink somewhere - in the defences of Harry Matthews.

0:18:17 > 0:18:20- Jones is wearing - leopard skin shorts...
0:18:20 > 0:18:23- ..and he resembles the animal - to some extent...
0:18:24 > 0:18:28- ..stalking his opponent looking - for the right moment to pounce.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34- Another left jab.
0:18:45 > 0:18:50- There is a danger here that - Jones starts feeling overconfident.
0:18:50 > 0:18:54- Another clean hit with the right.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03- He looks very confident.
0:19:04 > 0:19:08- Martin Williams, the referee, - separates the fighters.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16- Jones' corner is calling on him...
0:19:17 > 0:19:20- ..to keep his hands working fast - and to jab some more.
0:19:32 > 0:19:33- Matthews isn't much of a threat.
0:19:35 > 0:19:39- That's the end of the third round. - How's Zack Davies marking it?
0:19:39 > 0:19:43- Jones leads by three rounds I think. - He's working well behind the jab.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48- He needs to get - the right hand going with hooks.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51- He's landing quite a lot - of body blows...
0:19:51 > 0:19:55- ..but he needs to land heavier blows - to slow Matthews down.
0:19:56 > 0:20:00- Morgan Jones can stop him - if he increases the intensity.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08- Morgan Jones is still advancing.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13- The left jab is very effective.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16- He won the - Welsh Amateur Championships...
0:20:16 > 0:20:19- ..at super middleweight - some four years ago.
0:20:19 > 0:20:23- He beat Nathan Thorley - who claimed a bronze medal...

0:33:55 > 0:33:57- I've definitely - been in the ring...

0:34:28 > 0:34:30- We both had good wins.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32- He's a strong, come-forward - game fighter.
0:34:33 > 0:34:36- I hope he comes at me aggressive - - he'll just run onto shots.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39- I think I've got the answer for his - style.
0:34:39 > 0:34:41- Hopefully, - I can take him out in the end.
0:34:42 > 0:34:46- Six rounds with Lance Cooksey, - a good fighter, a top amateur.
0:34:47 > 0:34:49- Three or four weights - bigger than me.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51- I do a bit of work - on the movement with him.
0:34:51 > 0:34:54- To know I can mix it up - with the bigger boys.

0:36:24 > 0:36:29- It's a 12-round contest - for the Commonwealth title.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33- Tonight could be - a fairy tale for Turley.

0:36:38 > 0:36:44- He had to spend almost 10,000 - in legal fees to prove the cyst...
0:36:44 > 0:36:49- ..wasn't too serious - to get his boxing licence back.
0:36:49 > 0:36:53- It has been an energetic start - to this bout.
0:37:02 > 0:37:07- Turley has said that he hopes - Jenkinson will attack him...
0:37:07 > 0:37:10- ..so he can then counter-attack.
0:37:10 > 0:37:15- You can see why he describes himself - as having an awkward style.
0:37:15 > 0:37:18- Turley keeps his hands low.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21- These two are at - each other's throats already.
0:37:30 > 0:37:34- Turley uses his left jab - to try to keep Jenkinson at bay.
0:37:38 > 0:37:42- Jenkinson has held the - Commonwealth title in the past...
0:37:42 > 0:37:44- ..but he's down!
0:37:45 > 0:37:46- The referee is counting.
0:37:47 > 0:37:50- I think Victor Loughlin - is wrong about Jenkinson.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54- It's clear from those pictures - that the Englishman had slipped.
0:37:58 > 0:38:00- Turley is on the ropes.
0:38:00 > 0:38:03- He has been caught on occasion - by Jenkinson.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10- If he's going to use a - counter-attacking style...
0:38:10 > 0:38:14- ..then he will get caught - from time to time.
0:38:14 > 0:38:16- This time, it's Turley who's down.
0:38:27 > 0:38:30- Jenkinson looks for an opening.
0:38:30 > 0:38:32- He's trying to get Turley - on the ropes.
0:38:33 > 0:38:37- Turley is quick on his feet to avoid - being trapped into a corner.
0:38:45 > 0:38:48- A right hand from Jenkinson - catches Turley.
0:38:48 > 0:38:51- The Welshman is back on the ropes.
0:38:52 > 0:38:54- There was a suggestion - of a low shot there.
0:39:00 > 0:39:04- Both are going for each other - with plenty of vigour.
0:39:05 > 0:39:07- An effective right hand - from Jenkinson.
0:39:07 > 0:39:10- Turley proves that he - can also take a punch.
0:39:15 > 0:39:18- It's Turley's turn to attack.
0:39:25 > 0:39:29- Oh, that left hand into the stomach - of Jenkinson is very effective.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38- I wonder how Zack Davies sees it?
0:39:40 > 0:39:43- I see Turley in front - he's also had a knock-down.
0:39:43 > 0:39:45- I see him ahead on points.
0:39:45 > 0:39:49- His tactics are sound. He's on the - back foot looking for the counter.
