Reece McFadden comes through 'hardest fight' of Commonwealth Games

Scotland boxer Reece McFadden calls Oteng Oteng 'his hardest opponent' of the 2014 Commonwealth Games.

Scotland boxer Reece McFadden has admitted that he had to dig deep to overcome Oteng Oteng in the quarter-finals of the Commonwealth Games on Tuesday.

The flyweight, who has been one of the stories of the Games, booked his spot in the semi-finals with another confident display in Glasgow.

However, the Scot has claimed that a cut to his eye slowed him down in the latter stages.

"The first two fights I was really, really up for it, I was really up for that one, but not as much as the other two. I knew it was going to be a hard fight and it was the hardest one so far," he told Sports Mole.

"When I got cut at the end, I didn't want to come on as fast in case I got cut again. I was trying to protect myself for the last 10 seconds. I deserved the win and I loved it."

McFadden will face Australia's Andrew Maloney in the semi-finals.
