In the lightweight (60kg) category, only China's powerful Qiang Liu made the Olympics but light welterweight (64kg) saw Daniyar Yeleussinov from Kazakhstan, Serdar Hudayberdiyev from Turkmenistan, Uktamjon Rahmonov from Uzbekistan and Mehdi Touloutibandpi from Iran all claim a London 2012 spot.

Welterweight trio (69kg) Maimaititue Rsun Qiong from China, Byamba Tuvshinbat from Mongolia and Amin Ghasemipour from Iran also claimed an Olympic slot along with middleweight (75kg) quartet Abbos Atoev from Uzbekistan, Nursahat Pazziyev from Turkmenistan, Sobirjon Nazarob from Tajikistan and Vijender Singh from India.
