The Man In The Hat sits, as usual, at the center of the dais. To his left are Gemma Arterton, Leelee Sobieski, Daniela Ruah, Mariska Hargitay, Jewel, and Jane Levy. To his right sit Kristen Stewart, Britney Spears, Allison Mack, Leven Rambin, 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 Downunder Boxing. We appreciate them sendin' the Aussie flyweight champ here to Philly. And, let's not forget Foxfire who chose us and our venue for Jennifer Garner's return to the ring. Also, our indie fighters, who remain a big part of what we do here at Asylum. And, of course, my good friend Pointy and the Bazz stable, a regular participant here at Asylum. Also, to Av and Jane for putting together another great card, and, as always, last but not least, to the FCBA commission for sanctioning these bouts and making Asylum possible. Now, questions. Cable Boy. Go!"

HBO Reporter: "It's not often that you sweep an Asylum, so you have to be pretty happy with tonight's results..."

Man In The Hat: "Well, no, we don't. We've done it a couple o' times is all, and the reason is, it ain't easy ta do!"

(Laughter)

Man In The Hat: "Think about it. The girls we bring in are either talented, managed kids or hungry indies lookin' ta get a big win that'll get 'em some attention. Navigatin' that without a stumble is difficult, so, yeah, I'm pretty pleased."

HBO Reporter: Leven and Leelee beat a couple of those indie girls and looked good doing it..."

Man In The Hat(smiling): "Leelee is our top welter and one of the division's elite. One of the reasons she is is because she can handle lots of different styles. You saw that tonight. As for Leven, here's a girl with all the physical tools you could ask for. All she needs is work, and we're gonna get her that work. Cable Boy II!"

Showtime Reporter: "A lot of people expected Mack and Monaco to be a competitive fight..."

Man In The Hat: "I can understand why. Monaco's a quality fighter and she's had success at bantam before. Alli Mack, though, she mighta been on the proverbial mission tonight, and when Knife's in that mode, even quality fighters are gonna have a long night...or a short one. Oh, lord, it's M.A.A.M. !"

Madison Addison Abigail McKenzie: "Madison Addison Abigail McKenzie of Fighting Ingenue. How big was Kristen's win tonight?"

Man In The Hat: "Well, I say this all the time, all wins in the FCBA are big. But, in Kristen's case, well. Obviously, we had the reset at fly, so, while there's always a battle goin' on as far as the peckin' order goes, this one is very close, and, considerin' she was in there against a girl who's beaten us before and is, again, Australian champion, the answer is, 'Pretty big'."

Madison Addison Abigail McKenzie: "Does this put her on top?"

Man In The Hat: "Well. Kat Graham's comin' off a pretty nice win, too, so, it's close. But, I'd say this, Kristen may not be ahead, but she's not behind anyone, either. Tess, dear, go ahead..."

Tess: "How big was Dani's win tonight?"

Man In The Hat: "This was important for Daniela. There's a lot of...stuff...goin' on around her in both her divisions, a lot of competition, title shots, stuff like that. Noise. And a girl can get lost in that. It's important to block out that noise and go take care of business, and Dani did that. And she also broke a Front Street losin' streak against Bazz. Good stuff. Very good. Smackeroo! Dinner time. Take us home!"

Reporter: "Heck of a fight between Gemma and Jen G..."

Man In The Hat(smiling broadly): "Yes, it was. And, in case you've lost count, this win tonight means Gems has beaten TWO Hall of Famers in her last three bouts. Of course, I'm sure Mr. V is gonna find some record of Garner sparrin' 12 rounds with Freeman a week or so before tonight's fight and credit that for Gems' win..."

(Laughter)

Man In The Hat: "But, any fighter who can beat Theron and Garner is elite, gang. Period. And that's exactly what Gemma did, and exactly what she is. Oh. And I'll tell you two other fighters Gemma's beaten. Torv. And Decker. And I'll leave you with that. It's time for dinner. Tess. Smackey. Limo!"
