In the early chapters I really could not entirely understand Joe's distaste for Youko. I kind of got where he was coming from, but mostly felt he was being irrational and unreasonable.
At this point though (if not a bit earlier), I can really see where he is coming from distrusting and even hating Youko. She has repeatedly manipulated, controlled, interfered, and played games with Joe and others (e.g. Takigawa, the boxer who was tricked into facing Himaru, and Himaru himself) in order to get what she wanted. Even to the extent she may have good intentions, she also clearly has selfish intentions (e.g. getting Joe's wildness back) and is willing to step on others to achieve both. Indeed, even well-intentioned deceitfulness is still reason for others to distrust you.
Plus, she herself puts on a mask of cold-heartedness to others, especially Joe. It's no wonder that he does not want anything to do with her by this point.

Yay! Joe fought the complete opposite of Jose Mendoza before fighting him and took a fuckton of serious blows to the head! Youko truly does love him doesn't she.

Damn, so it finally rears its ugly head, right at the end.
Damn youko, why didn't you even put the information about his punch drunkenness in the letter? Even danpei, who would have doubts would understand and do his best, or even get a group to stop him. Joe would never go willingly but if you really LOVED him, you would of taken every step possible to make sure he didn't get in that ring.
Doesn't matter now, it's time for the show. She has been nearly nothing but antagonizing towards Joe this whole time but the actions that led him here was nobody's fault but his own, which is probably why he'll fight regardless of the situation. Hot blooded Young kid from the boonies gets to fight the strongest, this is gonna be something.
