Why hasn't Lomachenko connected with an audience?

    he's not a face first brawler so the ggg/kovalev fans don't care about him and he's not black so the slick fans don't care about him. he needs to either change his style or his skin color

      Ok but someone is saying he wasn't a star in America. Yes he was/is.

        Low weight class, Eastern European, Doesn't speak English

        It would be a huge shock if he had a following in the US. In Ukraine he is probably a huge star

          He weighs less than a rock and isn't the right type of white.

            He speaks English and understands it, but it's clearly a distant 2nd or 3rd language, and he chooses not to speak it. He spoke English with an interviewer, and understood the questions, without he interpreter that was standing beside him. It wasn't robotic, scripted English, like Triple G .

                because casuals are beer drinkers who love foul mouthed assholes.

                  He has 8 pro fights and only been the main event in two of them I'm pretty sure his ratings will start to go up the more he fights. Also I've noticed a lot of UFC and Mma fans seem to like him for some weird reason.

                      He hasn't connected with you so you come to the general conclusion that he hasn't connected with an audience?

                      Sounds like a logical fallacy
