The men's light flyweight boxing competition at the 2012 Olympic Games in London is being held from 31 July to 12 August at the ExCeL Exhibition Centre.
Competition format
Like all Olympic boxing events, the competition will be a straight single-elimination tournament.[1] This event will consist of 26 boxers who have qualified for the competition through various qualifying tournaments held in 2011 and 2012. The competition began with a preliminary round on 31 July, where the number of competitors was reduced to 16, and will conclude with a final on 11 August.[2] As there are less than 32 boxers in the competition a number of boxers will receive a bye for the preliminary round. Both semi-final losers will be awarded bronze medals, so no boxers compete again after their first loss.
All bouts will consist of three three-minute periods where the boxers will receive points for every successful punch they land on their opponent's head or upper body.[1] The boxer with the most points at the end of the bouts wins. If a boxer is knocked to the ground and cannot get up before the referee counts to 10 then the bout is over and the opponent wins.
