Hammer Hands is BACK! After a two-year absence from the ring, Julian Rodriguez reminded Hevinson Herrera exactly how he got his nickname tonight in the Shakur Stevenson-Alberto Guevera undercard. Wearing a pair of snazzy white gloves, he brought it early and often at the Prudential Center in Newark, scoring a first-round knockout to cap a thrilling (if not brief) performance.

Please, Hammer, don't hurt 'em.
In his first fight since September 2017, Rodri brough the goods. For good measure, it was his first KO victory since 2016. And with the resounding win, Rodriguez remained undefeated in style. Was there ever really any doubt?
