Olympic boxing matches are contested over three, three minute rounds.
Five ringisde judges score each bout on a 10-point must scoring system. It's the same set-up as the professional ranks, but with an extra judge in an attempt at avoiding corruption and incompetence ruining a fight.
Headgear is no longer worn at boxing at the Olympics.
OLYMPIC BOXERS WHO BECAME WORLD CHAMPIONS
The Olympics has been the launching pad for some of the greatest fighters the world has ever seen, including multiple world champions at many weight classes and the highest paid sportspeople on the planet.
Muhammad Ali is the first name that springs to mind, with the future three-time heavyweight world champion winning a gold medal at light-heavyweight at the Rome Olympics in 1960.
Two of Ali's great rivals, Joe Frazier and George Foreman won heavyweight golds in 1964 and 1968 respectively, while Oleksandr Usyk (heavy), Lennox Lewis (super heavy), Wladimir Klitschko (super heavy) and Anthony Joshua (super heavy) all went on to become pound-for-pound superstars after winning Olympic gold.
In the lighter weight classes, you can add Andre Ward (light heavy), Vasyl Lomachenko (feather and light), Oscar de la Hoya (light), Pernell Whitaker (light), Meldrick Taylor (feather), Sugar Ray Leonard (light welter, now discontinued), Guillermo Rigondeaux (bantam, now discontinued) all went on to have hugely successful pro boxing careers.
BOXING CONTROVERSY AT THE OLYMPICS
Boxing loves a good controversy, and that extends all the way to the amateur ranks at the Olympics.
Some of the most controversial moments in Olympics boxing history happened to some of the best to ever do it.
Floyd Mayweather was the victim of some atrocious judging in Atlanta in 1996, where he eventually claimed a bronze medal. It was his last ever loss as a boxer. Read more about it here.
Another future hall of famer, Roy Jones Jr. was also on the wrong side of some crooked judging when he was dudded in his gold medal match in 1988.
RJJ breezed through the fight against home town fighter Park Si-hun on the final day of competition in Seoul.
Jones Jr outstruck Park by a margin of 86 to 32 and there are only three people on the whole planet who thought the South Korean deserved to win. Sadly, those three people were the judges that day.
Three of the jduges, Bob Kasule of Uganda, Uruguay’s Alberto Durán and Hiouad Larbi of Morocco awarded the win to Park.
Honestly, it's still embarrassing to watch the fight and know how they scored it.

Evander Holyfield was also robbed of a chance at winning a gold medal in 1984 when he was controversially disqualified during his semi-final match against New Zealand's Kevin Barry.
