Tom Aspinall Highlights Kai Kara-France`s Dangerous, Unorthodox Striking
Tom Aspinall holds Alexandre Pantoja in very high regard.
However, Aspinall noted that despite Pantoja`s talent, he must be wary of Kai Kara-France`s unconventional striking style.
Speaking on his show, Tom Aspinall’s Fight Lab, Aspinall stated, “While many don`t associate flyweights with knockout power, Kai Kara-France is different; he possesses genuine power and is dangerous.”
He described Kara-France`s technique: “He often maintains a low guard and generates power from a distance with his entire body for uppercuts and hooks. He`ll sometimes approach slowly before unleashing powerful, wide strikes, which is incredibly exciting and, in my view, something the flyweight division needs.”
