Scardina showed a serious lack of power despite his high knockout percentage. Nothing he did discouraged Nunez in the early rounds. He was boxing from a distance most of the time, but languished on the ropes way too often and sometimes forgot to use his jab. He was staggered several times and had to hang on to survive.

Nunez finally wore down from chasing Scardina around the ring and started feeling the effects of all those head shots he took earlier. To his credit, Scardina jumped on him once Nunez looked like he was hurt and kept punching till the ref stopped the fight.

Scardina didn’t look like a serious contender in the super middleweight division. He’s got boxing skills and good footwork, but doesn’t always use those advantages. I don’t see him beating anyone good in that division. His lack of pop will be a real detriment when he faces better competition.
