Turkey’s Servet Tazegül had won a bronze medal in this event in 2008 but had dominated the class since then, winning three European Championships and the 2011 World Championships. In the semi-final he faced Britain’s Martin Stamper, who had beaten Tazegül at the 2011 German Open and had the crowd on his side, but Tazegül won comfortably to reach the final. The other finalist was Mohammad Bagheri Motamed of Iran, who had struggled early. In the quarters he faced 2008 bronze medalist Rohullah Nikpai of Afghanistan and won in sudden-death. In the semi-finals he defeated Brazil’s Diogo da Silva only by superiority decision after tying on points.

The final was very close. Tazegül went ahead 5-3 in the second round, but Bagheri Motamed closed to 5-4. After his opponent received penalty points, Tazegül then held on to win the gold medal, 6-5. The bronze medals went to Nikpai, who repeated his 2008 bronze, and American Terrence Jennings, who went thru the repêchage after losing to Tazegül in the round of 16.
