Dubois within 5, for a number of reasons.

1). Joyce has a far greater resume, but all of his opponents bar Jennings, have been over the hill and out of shape. Oh one other exception you can maybe throw in there, is Iago Kiladze who gave Efe Ajagba a heavy thump to the canvas in the last 2 years.

2). Joyce is very, very slow. He swings his whole body into the punches which means you can see them a mile off, Dubois will be able to throw 2 or 3 punches in that time.

3). Joyce gets hit a lot. There have been a lot of times in all of his fights, where he's been pressuring someone up against the ropes and taken clean counter punches. Stiverne (who is a walking punchbag) was able to land numerous counter-punches in there fight and he took a lot of punches in his most recent fight with Michael Wallisch.

4). Joyce has been stopped in the amateurs and hurt in the pro's. Normally I wouldn't say this has any relevence, as it was a long time ago. However, Joyce has shown little to no improvement on his defensive game aside from footwork. In his amateur fight with Sergey Kuzmin, his glove touched down and he was dropped heavily. He probably would have continued if it was a pro fight, but the amateurs are much more cautious. Here is the footage.

In his fight with Jennings he was hurt to the body in the opening round. Granted he was messing around with bolo punches and moving his hands around like he was at an 80s disco, but still he got hurt and didn't punch back for at least 30 seconds.

Just my view. I think Dubois has too much for Joyce.

I agree mate to an extent but I'll go for Dubois on points. I think he will work off the jab and attack the body of Joyce. The heavy hands of Joyce will be enough to keep Dubois cautious about unloading. Hope it's a good scrap whatever happens.

If Dubois does stop Joyce it will be to the body imo.
