Are you guys surprised by Omar Henry's popularity?

[No1]

He prob won a nag full of $$ on the lotto or something? He is an ok prospect, nothing special. I guess some people just have a certain charisma that attracts others? I sure as hell wished I had it.

Andre Ward: Olympic gold medalist, undefeated, super six winner, super middleweight champion, resume with BIG names, and doesn't even have 20 thousand followers.

What is the trick?

the stuff henry does outside of the ring is responsible for his popularity

there's no way in hell ***** met him because of his work in the ring


he's a showman. he loves attention
he promotes himself (not literally, but figuratively)


he also slept with lindsay lohan, which will get you attention if nothing less

No, I remember when he started on Twitter and Facebook and didn't have many Likes and Facebook or Followers on Twitter, clearly his Networking has paid off, I remember people on this forum use to complain about how he was annoying on Twitter and Facebook lol well I guess it paid off for him

I like Henry, I think he is one of those guys that could be a STAR because he has Charisma and he has basically built up his own following on Twitter and Facebook and he also has the skills in the ring, unfortunately he had a setback while trying to get away from Bob Arum and he was inactive for about a year or so

With Don King losing Alexander, he should focus on pushing Henry!

Henry is a chud, a waste of talent and he will fail if he ever tried to compete with the best. He is a hype job.....his trip back to reality won't be a pleasant one either.

never heard of him outside of this forum and maybe steve edward's mailbag. possibly saw him fight on the top rank website when they're broadcasting prelim bouts, but if i did it was nothing that stuck out or overly impressed me.

he seems like he's fought on some pretty high profile cards though. i was looking at his record and only one or two of the cards he fought on appeared to be "local" quality. i'm sure that helps too.

[PlayerKiller]

Well, he does get around and had character.

Why be a tweeter fan if ward who probably is boring and doesn't say much...

That's the whole point of it.

Who cares about this guy, he has done nothing of note yet in the sport.
