Well I went over Goku's fight with Innocent Boo, and for the first issue, it was more-or-less just Goku buying some time and not really taking the fight seriously at all. Innocent Boo only managed to land a single punch on him because Goku was thinking about how Majin Boo can learn any move rather quickly.
This one-sided fight continues on to the opening of the following issue, where Goku opens with a cross to his face, and Innocent Boo returns with one of his. But the artwork still shows that Goku is completely non-chalant. Goku did perform a Kamehameha wave, but as we see during his fight with Pure Boo, Goku requires at least 1 full minute to gather his Ki in order to unleash a fully powered Kamehameha wave; the one he performed against Innocent Boo likely had the amount of effort that he was putting into the fight, none at all.
So the fight continues and Goku is still learning about Majin Boo's weird anatomy and how quickly he can learn new attacks. Which surprises him when Boo performs a Kamehameha wave. Goku knocks it back and Majin Boo decides to knock it in the direction opposite to Goku, giving him no time to stop it. Babadi was always standing behind Boo and the artwork shows that this is what happened. Think of it as the time when Nappa was about to murder Gohan and Krillen and a more powerful Goku was unable to close the distance between himself and Nappa.
The evidence is here:
Pay attention to where Babadi is in comparison to Majin Boo before and after the explosion.
Finally, Goku ends the fight because he no longer has to buy any time and compliments Boo about his ability to instantly learn anybodies fighting techniques.
As a final wrap-up, I didn't see any evidence to support the claim that these two were actually close in power at that time. If there was, well... I didn't see it.
There is nothing wrong with Goku being 2.5x stronger than Innocent Boo at all, and Innocent Boo simultaneously being 2.5x stronger than Teen Gohan. This would actually make much more sense considering how Vegeta was able to at least resist Majin Boo to some degree. I seriously believe that Majin Boo's energy radar is completely accurate, why else would Toriyama place it there?
