The Man In The Hat sits, as usual, at the center of the dais. To his left are Gemma Arterton, Anna Torv, Ke$ha, Amanda Seyfried, Pink, Britney Spears, and Jewel. To his right sit Kristen Stewart, Allison Mack, Kat Dennings, Neve Campbell, Mariska Hargitay, Avril Lavigne, and Jane Levy.

Man In The Hat: "All right, before we get to questions, there are some folks I wantr to thank. First, to my good friends at Beever's Babes for once again participatin' here at Asylum. We've had a long relationship with the folks at that stable and I hope it continues. We look forward to continuin' to showcase the talents of one of the FCBA's most underrated stables here in Philly. And, of course, to my good friend Poindexter Del Crunchy, for agreeing to participate tonight...AND for providin' a guest announcer..."

(Laughter)

Man In The Hat(smiling): "Also to Av and Jane for puttin' together a great card, to the indie fighters who agreed to join us, and, of course to HBO and the broadcast crew for a great show. And last but not least, to the FCBA commission, without whose sanction these cards would not be possible. Now, I'll take questions. Cable Boy. Go!."

HBO Reporter: "It's nice to see Kat up there, because I was wondering if she still worked for you..."

Neve: "If I have to GET OUT OF THIS CHAIR..."

Man In The Hat(smiling): "Now, see, you've gone and upset The Boss! Kat still works here. Yeah, she tossed out a clunker tonight, but she'd also won four in a row BEFORE tonight. This was only Ms. Dennings' 12th FCBA fight. She's still learning. Still developing. She's gonna have nights like this. But, she's gonna have better nights, too. The key thing is, she didn't quit. She kept competing even though nothin' was workin'. That's half the battle. We'll WORK on the other half..."

(Laughter)

Man In The Hat: "Cable Boy II! Go!"

Showtime Reporter: "Kristen losing had to be a disappointment..."

Man In The Hat: "WAS it, now? You know, our esteemed commissioner has said many times that you can get fooled about a fight and a fighter when you just look at the results. You need to look at what actually HAPPENS in the rounds. So, look at what HAPPENED tonight. My kid here got put in a hole early by a good, veteran fighter, a former champion who beat up Lucy Liu not that long ago. She got bullied around a little bit. Knocked down and scuffed up. BUT. SHE. DID. NOT. QUIT. Every time she got hurt, she came back and hurt Hayek. And, just as importantly, she ADJUSTED. She fought back and she grabbed control of the fight. She won five of the last six rounds. And she had Hayek in trouble several times. The hole was a little too big for her to climb all the way out of. But I was very impressed by what I saw. This was a step forward for Kristen. It showed she can compete with good, veteran flyweights. And I expect she'll be doing more of that going forward. Oh, Lord, it's BLONDE! Magazine..."

BLONDE! Magazine Reporter: "Talk to me about your most important flyweight, Amanda Seyfried..."

Man In The Hat: "Amanda didn't have an easy out tonight. Adams is a physical girl. She's a big star. And she wanted to make a big splash by takin' out Ms. Seyfried. But, tonight you saw the Amanda I know is in there. The Amanda we've seen before. The one who took Krissy Kreuk OT, who was one punch from beating her. The Amanda who beat up Rachel Stevens and knocked out Kelly Clarkson. Amanda's up over 20 fights now. It's starting to click into place. She's smart. She's talented. She has good power for the division. She has what it takes to be a contender. THAT'S the Amanda we saw tonight. Tess, dear, go ahead..."

Tess: "That Ke$ha/Newbrough fight was something..."

Man In The Hat: "Whole lotta sluggin' goin' on..."

(Laughter)

Man In The Hat: "Watch the video, though, and you'll see a little somethin' else. You'll see a little clever boxin' from Big K, especially in that seventh round. Now, as big and strong and athletic as Ke$ha is, when she adds some of that to the arsenal, well. Then we're gonna see somethin' pretty special, don't you think? Smackeroo, dinner awaits!"

Reporter: "Allison and Gemma both looked very good tonight..."

Man In The Hat: "Here's the thing with Gems and Alli Mack, they're as good as anyone on this roster. Now, we've had other bantams get ink around here, and we've had Decker and now Anna get a lot of pub at light, but, I repeat, Gemma Arterton and Allison Mack are as good as anyone I have on this roster. They're both athletic, very skilled and very smart. And they both hit like moving trains. I have big plans for both ladies. BIG plans. I also have plans for dinner and it's time we put those into effect. Tess, Smackey, limo!"
