Renard in 1v1s

How does Renard get his ass beat EVERY TIME. Like he’s half Zauberbiest and can throw people through the air but he just gets violated in hand to hand combat. The fight with Nick in the precinct is my main example. Nick was absolutely DESTROYING HIM. He had to woge to even stand a chance. Same thing when he fought Kenneth. It seems like he relies on his powers a little too much.
