Live Blog: Showtime Boxing - Russell Jr. vs Escandon

We're getting two world title fights on Showtime this evening, headlined by Gary Russell Jr. (27-1, 16 KOs) defending his WBC World Featherweight belt against Oscar Escandon (25-2, 17 KOs) at the MGM National Harbor in Oxon Hill, Md. In the primary undercard, Gervonta Davis (17-0, 16 KOs) defends his IBF World Super Featherweight title against Liam Walsh (21-0, 14 KOs). There are a couple of other fights on the docket, but I won't pick up the live blog until Davis and Walsh hit the ring.
