The Man In The Hat sits, as usual, at the center of the dais. To his left are Kat Dennings, Neve Campbell, Jane Levy, Leelee Sobieski, Mariska Hargitay, Pink, and Alison Brie. To his right sit Kat Graham, Brooklyn Decker, Grace Park, Jewel, Britney Spears, Jamie Lynn Spears, and Avril Lavigne.

Man In The Hat: "All right, as usual, before we get to questions, there are some people I want to thank. Kear's Kats. You wanna talk about a stable with some great talent that needs more exposure on this side of the pond? Take a look at the girls that represented them tonight. We can't wait to get 'em back here. Bazz. You know we love 'em, or we wouldn't let Spiridakos in the BUILDING..."

(Laughter)

Man In The Hat: "You could argue pretty persuasively that Pointy has the most talent of any FCBA stable. We know. Because they spend a lot of time kickin' our a**es!"

(Laughter)

Man In The Hat: "Of course, we'd be remiss in not thankin' our indie fighters, who remain the bread and butter of Asylum. And, last but never least, the FCBA Commission for sanctionin' these bouts and makin' Asylum possible. Now, questions. Cable Boy! Go!"

HBO Reporter: "So, we've never had a draw at Asylum, and it looked like neither side was happy about this one..."

Man In The Hat: "Both fighters wanted to go OT. The referee stopped the fight. He has the right to do that if he feels that, for safety reasons, one or both fighters should not continue. In this case, due to the issues with both fighters' eyes, he made that decision. We weren't happy about it. Neither was Bazz..."

HBO Reporter: "Will we ever see that referee here again?"

(Laughter)

Man In The Hat: "Despite what McCarthy may think and say, Front Street doesn't pick the referees. They're assigned by the Commission, as they should be. We also don't question the decisions of referees when they involve safety. If the referee thinks he needs to protect a fighter, then he should do that. That's what he thought. That's what he did. And, before you ask, yes, we'll work on a rematch sometime this year. Cable Boy II, let's hear it!"

Showtime Reporter: "Talk to me about the Dennings fight. This kind of slows her roll a little bit..."

Man In The Hat: "Well, the kid had won three straight. She's taken a step forward, and this doesn't change that. I always say 'Sometimes the other guy makes a play'. Well, Flanagan made a play. That kid can fight. She's built like Kat. She has power like Kat. She's a good fighter, as she's shown over in the UK. No shame in losin' this one. Kat'll be fine. She's rounding into what we knew she could be, a bigger, stronger Fishel...and a bantamweight contender. BLONDE! Magazine! Go!"

BLONDE! Magazine Reporter: "Obviously, I want to talk about Decker. She looked very good tonight..."

Man In The Hat: "Brookie is what she is, a contender at two weights, and she showed that tonight..."

BLONDE! Magazine Reporter: "Are you going to sign a fight with Gisele?"

Man In The Hat: "That's something that may happen goin' forward. We've made no decisions on that..."

Neve: "Oh, and, by the by, if you see Gisele, let her know that if she ever climbs into MY ring after a fight, I AM going to PITCH her over the top rope onto her HEAD. Count on it."

(Laughter)

Man In The Hat: "Don't laugh...she ain't kiddin'. Tess, dear, go ahead."

Tess: "Another win for Leelee tonight. She handled Bowden's speed pretty well..."

Man In The Hat: "Leelee's a complete fighter. She's different than a lot welters. She's not just a big puncher, a brawler. It's not all about the physical. She can bring that, too, but she can BOX. She's athletic. Our former Commissioner always said she could move her hands and feet, unlike a lot of welters, and she can. So, she can handle that kind of speed, she can handle athleticism, and she did that tonight. Smackeroo. It's dinner time. Take us there..."

Reporter: "Talk to me about your two flys, Graham and Levy. You have to be happy with them..."

Man In The Hat(smiling): "Absolutely. Jane is just what I like in a fighter. She's an athlete, a former college soccer player. She has power. She has speed. She's VERY smart. She's getting better every time out. I like where she is and where's she's goin'. As for Kat, there's no more athletic fighter in the FCBA. She's got dancer's speed and quickness. She has good power. She's a good boxer, and gettin' better at that all the time. The pieces are there. We just need to get 'em put together. And she put a couple in place tonight. I'm happy with what I saw. All right. It's dinner time. Tess! Smackey! Limo!"
