Our reporter and his blonde companion sit in the Man In The Hat's office at Front Street.
Reporter: "So, Wiz, did you see Tess' picks for Asylum?"
Tess: "Cassie checked. She HAS a waffle iron..."
Man In The Hat (laughing): "She probably has more than one. You never know what she might need, and I usually buy things by the dozen. But. No need for that. I always enjoy your picks, Tess. Though I do disagree with a few things..."
Tess: "I picked all your girls to WIN. Are you expecting some of them to lose?"
Man In The Hat (smiling): "We never EXPECT to lose, but we know that you always CAN lose. It's not that, though. I think you're underestimating the opponent's Lili's fought. She's got wins over Spiridakos, Woodley, and Benoist in there. Shailene and Tracy have beaten a lot of good fighters. Woodley's beaten Mitchell and VanCamp. Spiridakos beat Grace Park, Kat Dennings, and Katie Cassidy and gave Chloe Bennet a heck of a fight. And, Benoist is top twenty for good reason. You ARE right about one thing though..."
Tess (smiling): "What's that?"
Man In The Hat: "Lotz is a VERY dangerous opponent. This girl has a win over Dobrev who just HAPPENS to be bantamweight champion. And she ALSO gave Chloe all she wanted. Caity's got championship potential, and, now that she's got management again, look out."
Reporter: "On another subject, I've been thinking about your flyweights. You said the other day that you don't give up until you make a decision to move on."
Man In The Hat: "Correct."
Reporter: "All the talk about your flys has been whether or not you're going to stay in the division. But, for the moment, you're IN the division and still competing full steam. And, in light of recent results, including Levy losing at Asylum and Stewart beating Watson, my question is, if K-Stew beats Portman, does she move back to the top of your flyweight pecking order?"
Man In The Hat: "That's a BIG 'if'..."
Tess: "Just what I was going to say..."
Man In The Hat: "However. IF Stewart were to go Watson/Portman, then the answer would be 'yes'. And, do you know what ELSE the answer is always 'yes' to? Chef's Beef Wellington..."
Tess: "Let's GO!"
