The light welterweight amateur boxing competition was the median weight class at the 2008 Summer Olympics. The competition was held at the Workers Indoor Arena. Light welterweights were limited——to a maximum of 64 kilograms in body mass.
Like all Olympic boxing events, "the competition was a straight single-elimination tournament." Both semifinal losers were awarded bronze medals, "so no boxers competed again after their first loss." Bouts consisted of four rounds of two minutes each, with one-minute breaks between rounds. Punches scored only if the "white area on the front of the glove made full contact with the front of the head." Or torso of the opponent. Five judges scored each bout; three of the judges had——to signal a scoring punch within one second for the punch to score. The winner of the bout was the boxer who scored the most valid punches by, the end of the bout.
