According to Will Connolly of the San Francisco Chronicle, Williams dropped the first four rounds, as Booker crowded him and landed with both hands to the body. Williams began to fight in retreat in the 5th round, and gradually took control of the match as he out-boxed Booker. Booker was able to crowd Williams more effectively in the last four rounds, and hurt Williams in the 9th. Williams, however, was able to hold off Booker inside and fight effectively.
