The Man In The Hat sits, as usual, at the center of the dais. To his left are Allison Mack, Gemma Arterton, Leighton Meester, Britney Spears, Jewel, and Grace Park. To his right sit Leelee Sobieski, Kesha, Antje Utgaard, Neve Campbell, Mariska Hargitay, and Avril Lavigne.

Man In The Hat: "All right, as usual, before we get to questions, there are some people I want to thank. Let's start with our friends from Foxfire Atlantic. We always enjoy having Ms. Winslet and company here in Philly, and we want to thank them for coming once again. Of course, we always take a minute to thank the indie fighters, who, as always, are the backbone of Asylum. We're going to continue giving these girls exposure here and making good fights with them. And, of course, our good friends at Bazz, who are as much a part of Asylum as Front Street. We thank them for once again providing an excellent fighter and helpin' us make a great fight. As always, last but not least, let's thank the FCBA commission for sanctioning these bouts and making Asylum possible. Now. Cable Boy! Go!"

HBO Reporter: "You went 6-0 tonight and 7-0 for the month. You guys are 22-1 on the year. I think you're officially on a roll..."

(Laughter)

Man In The Hat(smiling): "Well, we've gotten off to a good start, no question. We aren't gonna keep winning fights at a percentage like that. Can't do it. But, as a stable, we're fighting very well right now. I'm not surprised by that, because there's a ton of talent here. I am, however, very pleased by that. Cable Boy II! Go!"

Showtime Reporter: "You had all three of your welters working tonight. What are your thoughts on their fights?"

Man In The Hat (nodding): "As I've said before, Leelee is an elite welter. And, you saw why tonight. Rohm is a very good fighter, physical, extremely smart. She's not easy to deal with. But, Leelee was able to get a big win, because SHE is not easy to deal with, either. Antje is loaded with potential. She has everything you want in a fighter. She's big, strong, sturdy, very athletic, very quick. All she needs is work, and we're gonna get it for her. As for Big K, she's proven before that she can succeed at welter. I was impressed with what I saw tonight, as I usually am when she's in the ring. She can be welterweight champion. And, we're going to give her that chance. BLONDE! Magazine! Go!"

BLONDE! Magazine Reporter: "I want to talk about Allison. She remains in the thick of the bantamweight title picture. She's not likely to get a shot at Kelly, because of LCA's rules..."

Man In The Hat (nodding): "Correct. And we have no problem with that. We understand LCA's thinking and are, in general, believers in spreadin' the wealth where title shots are concerned. But. We also believe Allison is as deserving as anyone else, and she continues to prove that. We'll keep getting her fights and wait and see what happens.Tess, dear, go ahead..."

Tess: "Obviously, this was a big fight for Leighton, and you have to be pleased..."

Man In The Hat: "Yes, it was. and, yes, I am. Leighton has the goods to be an elite flyweight. She's shown all the pieces. We just need her to put 'em together. She looked very good tonight. And, she's going to get more opportunities to flash that kind of form as the year goes on. Smackeroo! Dinner time. Take us there!"

Reporter: "Gemma's another girl who's right in the title picture, but blocked at the moment..."

Man In The Hat: "For a different reason, of course, but, yes. But, as I always say, things change. Brooke isn't gonna be champ forever. We hope she'll be champ for quite some time, mind, but, nobody holds the belt for four or five years around here. So, again, it's a matter of getting Gems fights and allowing events to take their course. And, that's what we'll do. Now. Dinner time! Tess! Smackey! Limo!"
