The Man In The Hat sits, as usual, at the center of the dais. To his left are Grace Park, Gemma Arterton, Serinda Swan, Mariska Hargitay, Pink, Emma Roberts, and Alison Brie. To his right sit Kristen Stewart, Kat Graham, Jane Levy, Jewel, 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 IFFI. We always enjoy having them here, and they were overdue for a return trip. That's a great, talented stable, and we look forward to havin' them back again. We has some good indie fighters here tonight, and we'll continue to feature them here at Asylum, as we always have. And, of course, to our friends at Bazz. I never tire of thanking them. I DO, however, tire of LOSING to them..."

(Laughter)

Man In The Hat: "And, last but far from least, the FCBA Commission for sanctionin' these bouts and makin' Asylum possible. Now, questions. Cable Boy! Go!"

HBO Reporter: "This is three consecutive 5-1 outings, and this time, even you can't be too upset with the loss..."

Man In The Hat: "You're correct. That was a great fight in there, Grace and Tracy. Either kid could have won it, just like last time. Tracy made a play, but Grace came very, very close to making one of her own. I'm pleased with what I saw in there, no question about that. None. And, let me put this on record right now, gang. Right now. Tracy Spiridakos, barring something unforeseen, is going to be bantamweight champion. Period. Cable Boy II, talk to me!"

Showtime Reporter: "Swan didn't have it easy tonight..."

Man In The Hat: "I'm not surprised. Krysten's a girl with some ability. She's been in tough, but, even there, she's shown some of what she has. You saw more of it tonight. Kid keeps getting work, she's gonna start beating people. Swanny, though. This is what you like to see from a girl. Other kid's fightin' well, causin' her problems, she finds a way. She digs down and digs in and turns things around. It was good stuff. I was very pleased it with it. Brunette Magazine! Go ahead!"

Brunette Magazine Reporter: "Let's talk about Gemma Arterton..."

Man In The Hat: "Gems, she's one of those girls that, she goes out and fights very, very well, and you don't even realize it, because that's what you've come to expect from her. Then, you think back on the fight, watch the video, and you're actually surprised by how good she was. Tonight was one of those nights. Gemma was spot on. Locked in. Even the low blow didn't get her off her game. Gang. I've said this before. I'll say it again. This kid is as good as anyone I have. Watch the video. You'll see I'm right. Tess, dear. Go ahead."

Tess: "That was a big night for your flys. You had to like what you saw..."

Man In The Hat: "Well. We talked about adjusting and finding ways. Jane had to adjust to some tactics she didn't expect. She did that and she got the job done. The mental aspect of boxing is very underrated, frankly, and smart fighters can be very dangerous fighters. Despite her lack of experience, Jane is a very smart fighter. Solo, now. That girl has some talent. But, Kristen. She's 'The Five-Tool Player', and you saw how well she can put those tools to use. As for Kat. Huge. This win was huge for the kid. She has as much physical ability as any flyweight in the FCBA. She can be somethin' special if the pieces all come together. And, they're doing that. It's taken some time, but they're doing that. Yes. I liked what I saw. A lot. Smackeroo. Take us to dinner."

Reporter: "Adding in Meester's win, your flys went 4-0 this weekend. It wasn't so very long ago that you considered disbanding the division..."

Man In The Hat(smiling): "Someone reminded me of that tonight. Thanks for the text, Paris..."

(Laughter)

Man In The Hat: "We have struggled at times at this weight. No question about that. And, it's no surprise, really, because this weight is stacked with talent. It's funny, though. For awhile, you could call us a one-weight stable. We established pretty quickly at bantam and were a factor there pretty early. But, nowhere else. Then, the lights broke through and started gettin' into the title picture, and we had two weights. And, now we've got three. I'm pretty proud of these four girls, and I'm very pleased with where we are in this division now. Very. All right. It's dinner time. Tess! Smackey! Limo!"
