Why hasn't Lomachenko connected with an audience?

[FinitoxDinamita]

Loma is not superstar material in America.

Doesnt speak english and he doesnt have charisma.

He actually speaks English pretty good probably better than GGG and Kov go look up some videos on YouTube the second part I agree I feel like he try's to be too nice or too respecting of other fighters at least in front of the cameras I wish he had more of Kov in him.

"doesnt have charisma. "

WTF?????? He has a decent amount of personality and spunk, horrible analogy

[285Kid]

Because he's yet to have a fight for his real audience aka the Ukraine crowd , Why is this dude not fighting at home?

[BritBox]

He's connected with boxing fans, but boxing is going through a lull at the moment. Even the likes of Ward and Kovalev are not getting as much fanfare as they would have received 20 years ago.

[casheddie]

He needs to talk more and I guess the Ukrainians don't watch boxing. Thats why Klits went to Germany

[GrandpaBernard]

Something about the way he pitty pats isn't very attractive.

Amazing footwork and great defense though.

Loma doesn't seem mean enough

[wlad1111]

There are many underline reasons but the main reason is simply because he does not care about becoming a superstar. Loma wants to be seen as a great boxer not boxings Justin Bieber. Maybe that will change but so far he just wants to fight the best and hope for the best .

^^ This
And it's a blessing for boxing fans. He is gonna fight every great fighter possible.

[UNBIASED BOXING]

Because he turned me down for a picture when I caught him in the hallway at the Cosmopolitan. Shiet, it was like 3-4 hours before his fight against Walters. All he said was, "Sorry" and one of the team Lomachenko members walking with him said the same thing.




...still a fan, though. All good, as I'm sure he was trying to mentally get prepared for fighting a dangerous opponent like Walters. Or at least, that's what I tell myself
