Our reporter and his blonde companion sit in the Man In The Hat's office at Front Street.
Reporter: "So, Wiz, we were talking about fighters being over the hill, and, today, we saw exhibit A for McCarthy's 'age ain't nothin' but a number' argument, Katic, win again..."
Man In The Hat: "Sometimes, son, it's not ALL about just the actual age on your birth certificate, but also about the tread left on your tires. Stana was very lightly raced when she started her campaign. Doesn't have a couple of decades of punishment she's carryin' around. Our former commissioner always said that every chassis was only rated for so many dents. Well. Katic didn't start with many dents..."
Tess: "Still, things like quickness erode with time..."
Man In The Hat: "No doubt. And, maybe a fighter whose whole game is fast-twitch muscle fiber is gonna age out quickly. But, somebody like Stana, she's got length and smarts and skill and she's in great shape. She can still compete."
Reporter: "Fergie was in action the other day. I seem to remember our former commissioner thinking a lot of her..."
Man In The Hat: "He believed that, if she'd started earlier, she might have been a champion. Might not have been wrong about that, either. Definitely had the physicals. Definitely."
Tess: "Let's talk a little about Front Street. How's prep for the pay-per-view and Asylum going?'
Man In The Hat: "Well. You're here every day. What do YOU think?"
Tess: "Seems like a pretty well-oiled machine..."
Man In The Hat: "It took us some time to get there, to build out the staff to get us there, but, yes, it is. And, do you know what ELSE is a well-oiled machine? Chef's kitchen when he's doing Beef Wellington..."
Tess: "Let's GO!"

Well, it's about time that this magazine and its reporters started quoting some intelligent people who actually KNOW something about boxing and age! Of course, modesty forbids me from naming any names!
