Daniele Marco Scardina vs. César Núñez Prado

A week from tomorrow. The vacant EBU super middleweight title will be at stake.

Standing two inches below the local favorite at 5′ 10½″, the visiting Spaniard has faced the superior competition thus far but has also unerringly been knocked out by them (Vincent Feigenbutz and Edgar Berlanga). Scardina, whose KO percentage at one point was a robust 93% (and now has dropped to 77), will be seeking his first stoppag victory since 2018 after three consecutive UD ten-rounders in his capture and pair of defenses of the IBF super middle international title.

Pretty stacked card actually, for a domestic Italian show anyway. Both the IBF welter and feather international belts will be on the line in the co-features (Maxim Prodan vs. Nicola Cristofori and Francesco Grandelli vs. Davide Tassi, respectively) and on the undercard, 43 year old iron man Tobia Giuseppe Loriga makes a second defense in his second career reign as welterweight champion of Italy, versus unbeaten Nicholas Esposito, 17 years his junior.

Thanks for chipping in, @f1ght3rz ...once upon a time a thread on a fight like this would've gotten more than just one reply in a week. Not a lot more than one, mind you.. but even a vacant Euro title bout with some domestic level Italian scraps in chief support would've caught the attention of guys like @Somachenko and @Nonito Smoak at least. Now probably nobody cares outside you and maybe @Chuck Norris

 

I might be most excited to see what Loriga has left handling a young lion.
