After the fighters 'weighed in' there was the traditional ‘staredown’. Then as the tension rose Toney hit Booker and both sides stepped in and pulled the fighters apart. According to our witness Booker blew Toney a kiss and that’s when “Lights Out” sucker punched Rydell.
Toney's entourage tried to heckle Booker and his trainer off the stage. Booker was accompanied only by trainer Henry Hill, manager John Carlisle and cutsman Jim Westmoreland.
When the Toney camp was unable to heckle Booker off the stage, an attempt was made to physically remove them. The free for all was brought under control by Pechanga security.
Booker sprained his ankle in the tussle. At last report, Booker was being examined by physicians to determine whether his twisted ankle will jeopardize the fight.
Afterward Booker was asked if the Toney punch hurt. His reply: "My girlfriend hits harder than that".
