Image: Klitschko manager: No more British fighters; we've had too many bad experiencesBy Scott Gilfoid: It looks like Dereck Chisora (15-3, 9 KO’s) and David Haye burned their bridges for themselves and for other British fighters in terms of trying to get payday bouts against the Klitschko brothers after a brawl ignited during the post fight press conference after the Vitali Klitschko vs. Chisora bout in Munich.

Haye’s manager Adam Booth got cut on the face, Chisora appeared to get a glass smashed on his face and there was a lot of swearing, wrestling and harsh language.

Bernd Boente, the manager for the Klitschko brothers, was quoted by the BBC Sport saying “With the bad experience we’ve had with British fighters, we will now look for other countries.”

My, my look what the Brits did this time. They went and blew it for themselves. I totally agree with Mr. Boente. I was so sad at the way Haye and Chisora conducted themselves. I didn’t hear much of the King’s English during the press conference, as it seemed like every word was an F word. It was just so sad. Why should the Klitschkos put up with these terrible manners. It was too primitive for my tastes and I imagine the wealthy Klitschkos as well.

Can you blame them? I mean, come on. Chisora smacks Vitali in the face on Friday’s press conference, and then spits in Wladimir’s face before the fight on Saturday. After the fight, Chisora has words with Vitali and Wladimir after the fight in the ring instead of congratulating up and down for his impressive performance. And that’s just Chisora.

Look at Haye. The guy talked mucho bull s*** about Wladimir before their fight last July, talking about putting him in the hospital, creating shirt showing the decapitated heads of both Klitschkos and then he turns up and runs all night long on the night of the fight. After the bout, Haye blames his loss on a broken toe he went into the fight with. Why after all that hassle would the Klitschkos want to fight another Brit? It’s not worth it.

Too much bellyaching, too much crying and too much gum flapping from the angry Brits. I’m totally in agreement with Boente. The Klitschko brothers need to fight guys that are civil and show the proper respect that the talented Klitschkos deserve. Until the British heavyweights are ready to conduct themselves with class like the Klitschkos, I saw ignore them indefinitely.

I think the Brits should fight among themselves while the Klitschkos move onto other parts of the world to conquer. They’ve already beaten the best that the Brits can offer and there are other countries to conquer. Let the Brits argue and brawl if they want to, but the Klitschkos need to move on.
