Our reporter and his blonde companion sit in the Man In The Hat's office at Front Street.
Reporter: "Heck of a Taylor Swift birthday card, Wiz..."
Man In The Hat: "Always. Fates is a great stable with tons of top fighters. They can build a fantastic card any time they want."
Tess: "You're a big DiDo fan, but the slump continues..."
Man In The Hat: "Happens to almost every fighter. You combine top competition with a bit of a rough spell and the normal ebb and flow of results against top fighters and it can happen. Thing is, DiDo is only 32. She's not past it and clearly isn't shot. She'll be fine."
Reporter: "Hansen is off to a good start at Fates..."
Man In The Hat: "No surprise. Fates is an elite stable. They get talent, that talent will improve. Period."
Tess: "Let's talk about the Diamond Boxing Tournament. Utgaard is in it. You've never participated before. Why now?"
Man In The Hat: "Well, we've got to get Antje back on track. The way to do THAT is to get her consistent work against solid opponents. The Diamond tournament will do that."
Reporter: "Can she win it?"
Man In The Hat: "Yes, she can. And, believe me, Antje WANTS to win it. For us, though, for Front Street, that's not the goal. WE want Antje to be JMDD Champion, Queen of the Beach, Queen of the Ice Hotel, and Unified Welterweight Champion. What we want out of this tournament is seven good fights that can help the kid along the comeback trail. And, we'll get 'em. And, you know what else we'll get? Chef's beef stew, which he's workin' on right now..."
Tess: "Let's GO!"
