Our reporter and his blonde companion sit in the Man In The Hat's office at Front Street.
Reporter: "Hawkeye had some nice things to say about Winter, especially her right hand."
Man In The Hat (nodding): "Hawk is a 'give credit where credit is due' guy. And, Ariel deserves credit for what she's accomplished this year. Kid's taken a big step forward, no question of that, and she's earned a month off in October, which is exactly what she's going to get."
Tess: "How about the rest of the year?"
Man In The Hat(shrugging): "We'll see what develops. But, October is a no-go. She's taking the month off. Period."
Reporter: "You think she needs the rest?"
Man In The Hat: "More mentally than physically. Getting ready for fights, especially pay-per-view fights, can take a lot out of a fighter. So. We're gonna unplug the kid and let her recharge the batteries, so to speak."
Reporter: "Cole says she ended Stewart's elite run."
Man In The Hat (laughing): "You know, if a fighter's 'elite run' ended every time they lost a fight, nobody'd ever be on one. Everybody loses around here. That's the way it works. Nobody goes unbeaten. Cole didn't end anything for K-Stew. She won a fight. That's all she did. That's all she COULD do. Nothing more."
Tess: "Is Winter at the top of your flyweight pecking order?"
Man In The Hat (nodding): "Ariel and Kristen are sitting at the top, yes. But. Levy and McCurdy aren't exactly far behind. This division has gone from weakness to strength. And, you know what ELSE is a strength? Chef's skills with pork chops..."
Tess: "Let's GO!"
