Dubois is stepping up massively versus Joyce. Joyce is a tough man, and he can box and punch hard. I thought he beat Yoka in the Olympic final, which shows his not just the robot people think he is. When you look at Joyce, he's been matched much tougher than all the other prospects. Obviously age isn't on his side and that's why they are willing to put him in with all comers. Dubois taking that fight at 22 years old shows massive balls. It's a cracking fight and one I am very much looking forward to.
Yoka has been popped for drugs in the past, and he's fought no one of note to date. Dimitrenko was decent in his day but was way past his best when Yoka KO'd him, and from memory Dave Allen took their fight on about a weeks notice. Yoka was on the juice for that fight, which makes me worry about his longevity. I'd like to see him in with a Bryant Jennings or Derek Chisora in the near future to see where he is.
