the main problem is there is literally only 1 canadian world champion and he is not generally a fan favourite due to his inactivity and perceived ducking of kovalev. i was at the fight and actually wanted jack to win but was not a fan of him giving away so many early rounds.

that being said, it shouldnt be too hard to fill out the ACC if they have a legitimate fight with an actual undercard. the undercard at this fight was atrocious. all the fights were garbage except for the alvarez vs herron fight.

in the past i remember when steve molitor was champion and had a bunch of fights at rama, that always seemed to bring a good crowd. i do hope they hold bigger fights in toronto going forward as i hate having to fly down to new york every time there was a big match i wanted to see at msg or barclays.
