    Dubois would destroy Allen. Dubois biggest asset is his power, his biggest problem IMO is his speed. Allen is slow as anything, and from memory took 30 seconds to think about, wind up, and throw a single punch in that Commonwealth title fight.

    I fear for David Allen. He seems a likable chap. However, he is unlikely to progress beyond British title level, no matter who his trainer is. One of these days though he is just gonna take a beating too many.

    I'd shoot for Dublois if I was Allen.

    I suppose it would be a 10 round fight? If that's the case he has a great chance with any of them at this stage in their development.

    If Allen accepts one of these fight he's accepting becoming a journeyman. Seems like a joker lacking dedication who only wants money wouldn't surprise me if he takes one of these fights.

    Joyce for me, think it's a great fight for Joyce to throw his name in with UK level heavyweights straight away.

    It's also a good test cos David is tough and won't be going out without a fight back!
