Our reporter and his blonde companion sit in the Man In The Hat's office at Front Street.
Reporter: "So, Wiz, is Regan done as an elite welter after last night?"
Man In The Hat: "That's a question for Pointy."
Reporter: "I asked him. He said she isn't, but that it's tough at any weight for a free agent."
Man In The Hat: "He ain't wrong. There are so many pieces we have in place here that free agents have to handle themselves, and that's tough. But, the toughest part is lack of consistent work. You NEED that as a fighter, and, when you don't get it, it makes the job harder."
Tess: "Are you surprised by any of the results from the Diamond tournament?"
Man In The Hat: "Not at all. I said goin' in that Kostek or Gillian would win it and I stand by that. It's just the way things are at welter. There's a small elite and it's almost impossible to break into it, as we've proven ourselves over and over. But. That bein' said, Diamond's done a wonderful job with this tournament. Every event has been fun to watch."
Tess: "So, Nichols is getting the lightweight title shot..."
Man In The Hat: "She is, and I got no problem with that."
Reporter: "Do you like the new way better? Of setting up title shots, I mean? The champ just picks someone instead of waiting for challenges?"
Man In The Hat; "Well, since I championed that very thing years back, yeah, I do. I think the champ is the champ and she has the right to choose. That's the prerogative you get when you win the gold. And, speaking of prerogatives, you DO have the CHOICE to be late when Chef is making Chicken Wellington, but..."
Tess: "Let's GO!"
