The punches started flying a full day before Lopez and Stevenson were due to do it for real. A sprawling melee broke out during Friday's weigh-ins at the Theater at Madison Square Garden, briefly turning the buildup to one of boxing's marquee fights into a security scramble.

Video from the scene showed multiple flashpoints as tempers flared near the stage and later by the venue exits, with several men throwing punches before being separated. Bill Haney, the father of Devin Haney, was caught on camera stepping into the middle of one confrontation in an apparent attempt to calm things down.
