Our reporter and his blonde companion sit in the Man In The Hat's office at Front Street.
Reporter: "So, Wiz, we're in May, but I'm still wondering about some things from April's Asylum..."
Tess: "And, you can probably guess what..."
Man In The Hat: "Well, Tessarabia, I'm guessin' your betrothed is talkin' about Mikayla bein' upset by Emily Elizabeth..."
Reporter: "That's it exactly. Obviously, not an optimal result for a developing fighter..."
Man In The Hat: "Correct. You always want to get a result, of course, and that goes double for when you're favored. But, that's the thing about all sports. There's another team out on the field or court. There's another fighter in the ring. And, sometimes the other guy makes a play. That's exactly what happened in Mikayla's fight. Emily made a play. It happens."
Reporter: "So...you're not concerned about Mikayla and her future at Front Street?"
Man In The Hat (shaking his head): "No, we are not. One is not a pattern. Kid got caught and got beaten. It happens. We've seen a lot of good stuff from Mikayla both in the ring and here in the gym. We're still high on her..."
Tess: "Especially considering that, last year, there was another big upset in a JMD fight at Asylum...and the loser of that fight is currently JMD Champion..."
Man In The Hat (smiling): "She is. Sophie stumbled, and, again, that happens. Duff made a play. But, Mudd got back to work, worked her way back into the title picture, and won the championship. Mikayla won't be winning any titles right now. She's much earlier in her career than Sophie was. But, she'll get back on track. And, she'll do good things for us. And, speaking of good things, Chef's even now working on his seafood pasta..."
Tess: "Let's GO!"
