The Man In The Hat sits, as usual, at the center of the dais. To his left are Kesha, Serinda Swan, Kat Dennings, Mariska Hargitay, Jewel, and Grace Park. To his right sit Anna Torv, Jane Levy, Kat Graham, Britney Spears, Neve Campbell, 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 PLP. We appreciate their bein' here tonight. That's a good group over there, as you've seen, and we hope to have 'em here again. Sceej Boxing also gets a big 'thank you'. Any time you can book a fighter like Adrianne Palicki, you wanna do that, because she's gonna give you a great fight, and she did. And, of course, our friends at Bazz, the OTHER home team at the Asylum. Let's also not forget about our indie girls, the backbone of the Asylum. And, last but certainly not least, the FCBA Commission for sanctioning these fights and making Asylum possible. Now. Questions. Cable Boy. Go!"
HBO Reporter: "This was a pretty great night for you, and that started at flyweight. You got a couple of wins there..."
Man In The Hat(smiling): "Well. You know, we're pretty high on Jane, as I've said before. She's a girl who just needs experience to be a very good fighter at the weight. We're getting her that. And, she's responding to it. Getting better every time out there. And, there was more development tonight. Kat Graham has every tool in the world in her box. It's just a matter of it all coming together for her. Tonight, was a step in the right direction with that. Cable Boy II! Go!"
Showtime Reporter: "Swanny seems to be back in form.."
Man In The Hat (nodding): "No doubt about it. And, no surprise. Serinda has as much ability as any lightweight in the world. She's been very close to a title fight before. I suspect she's getting closer to one again. Brunette Magazine! Let's hear a question!"
Brunette Magazine Reporter: "Kat Dennings was in there with a physical opponent tonight..."
Man In The Hat (nodding): "She absolutely was. Pipes has shown she can beat people at this weight. And, she wasn't shy about goin' after Kat. We knew she wouldn't be. But, Kat's another girl who's puttin' it all together. There have been fits and starts with her, like you see with any developing fighter. But, the pieces are coming together now. No question about it.Tess, dear, go ahead..."
Tess: "I hate to call what Kesha did an upset. But, it was an upset..."
Man In The Hat: "Yes, it was. But, it wouldn't be if she did it again, would it? See, this is the definition of a 'break through fight'. It's getting a win against a girl perceived to be at a higher level than you are. Then, perceptions change. And, I think perceptions of Kesha changed tonight. Not at Front Street, mind. And, not at Bazz, either, by the way. We always knew what we had in Big K. But. Others were, rightly, skeptical. They weren't gonna believe it until they saw it. Well. They saw it. That's a former welterweight champion who's currently ranked in the Top Ten. You get a win like that, it changes minds. Smackeroo! Dinner time. Take us there!"
Reporter: "Speaking of big wins. Anna Torv...."
Man In The Hat: "Absolutely, son. Absolutely. You go out and you beat Adrianne Palicki, a Top 20 light, a former lightweight champion, and, well. That tells you all you need to know. Anna's in that Big Four we have at lightweight. And. After this. She might just be at the top of it. That was good stuff out there tonight. Knockin' on the door stuff. We'll see if someone answers. Now. Dinner time! Tess! Smackey! Limo!"
