The Yorkshirewoman was calmness personified as her unique brand of controlled aggression saw her emerge with a comfortable win over Canada's Amy Bujond on semi-finals day, as 50 boxers competed across 13 weight categories.

The 31-year-old will face Michaela Walsh from Northern Ireland after she won on a split decision against Pinki Rani of India in what was a tight contest.

"I am looking forward to the finals," said Adams.

"It is going to be exciting fighting in front of a crowd of 11,000 [at SSE Hydro] – it is going to be amazing.

"I am prepared and ready and I hope you guys are ready for the action.

"It would mean everything to me to win.

"It's another chance to hopefully make history again and I can't wait.

"It is exciting."

In the women's lightweight final the gold medal will be decided between Australia and India.

Shelley Watts was too good for Alanna Audley-Murphy of Northern Ireland, winning by unanimous decision, while India's Laishram Devi was similarly impressive in overcoming Maria Machongua of Mozambique.

Ariane Fortin of Canada came through a bruising encounter with Welshwoman Lauren Price to set up a final decider against England's Savannah Marshall in the women's middleweight division.

Marshall looked a class act as she saw off Edith Ogoke of Nigeria.

Welshman and defending champion Sean McGoldrick was unhappy at the manner of his defeat to big rival Michael Conlan of Northern Ireland in their bantamweight bout.

Olympic bronze medal winner Conlan suffered a bad cut in his first round match and it was opened again through what was deemed an accidental clash of heads.

With the blood streaming down his face Conlan was sent to be examined by a doctor ringside midway through the second round, who ruled that the match be stopped.

Conlan was judged to be ahead on the scorecards and was declared the winner, a decision that did not go down well in the Welsh camp.

"I was a bit gutted," said McGoldrick.

"I was just getting into the fight.

"It's just a shame that it happened.

"He [Conlan] may think about it differently but I felt I was getting into the fight and had plenty more left in the tank.

"He's a world-class fighter.

"He's the world number two so I knew what I was up against."

This is the second time that McGoldrick has been involved in controversy at a Commonwealth Games.

At Delhi four years ago he was promoted to the gold medal after the winner, Manju Wanniarachchi of Sri Lanka, tested positive for drugs.

Conlan will take on Englishman Qais Ashfaq, who scored a straight forward win over Kenyan Benson Gicharu Njangiru.

Conlan's fellow Olympic bronze medal winner and compatriot Paddy Barnes cruised through his light flyweight match-up with Ugandan Fazil Juma Kaggwa and the defending champion will face the big-punching Indian Devendro Laishram, who unleashed a rocket of a left hook in the opening exchanges with Ashley Williams of Wales from which he never really recovered.

Meanwhile, hosts Scotland will have two men boxing for gold in the form of Delhi 2010 silver medal winner Josh Taylor and lightweight Charlie Flynn.

Taylor had a unanimous points win over Sam Maxwell of England in the light welterweight division to set up a clash with Junias Jonas of Namibia who outfoxed and outboxed Sean Duffy of Northern Ireland.

"I'm over the moon," said Taylor.

"I just want to get away and watch the video from my opponent's fight and study it for tomorrow.

"But I'm over the moon."

Flynn came through a real humdinger with Welshman Joseph Cordina via a split decision.

There was disappointment for Scotland in the final bout of a marathon day at the SECC as heavyweight Stephen Lavelle failed to make it past New Zealand's David Light.

Lavelle had looked good early on but Light eventually outpointed him and will face Canadian Samir El-Mais for gold after he beat Nigeria's Efetobor Apochi.
