Gary Russell Jr. stops Oscar Escandon by TKO in home debutBob Velin, USA TODAY Sports Near the end of the seventh round, Russell caught Escandon with a right to the temple that made him woozy. Escandon, who had also been knocked down in the third round, wobbled around on rubber legs for a few seconds, then dropped to one knee as Russell came in for the big finish. Before that could happen, referee Harvey Dock, not liking what he saw in Escandon's eyes, stopped it at 59 seconds of the seventh round.
