Very good win by Escandon, but saw nothing that makes me think he beats Russell

Good fight. Would like to see these guys fight each other again down the road. That head clash did a lot of damage to Castellanos but still props to Escandon.

Look forward to him and Russell mixing it up.

I missed the fight, sucks to hear RoCa got stopped. He needs to be more busy cuz ring rust is a *****.

Good fight. Casellanos was really effected by the headbutt. Was winning before that and was never the same after the butt.
