In all honesty I don't think he'll be in front at any point in the bout. I really like Taylor and my hopes is still up for him, but I don't think he realizes how accurate and hard Kessler punch and that his output - although no Calzaghe output - is still great.
As a reference Taylor landed a total of 213 out of 442 punches against Lacy, whereas Kessler landed 173 out of 585 in the much tougher and much more difficult fight against Calzaghe and that - I mind you - was even with a not-so-well hand.
I think it'll be a fantastic fight and I believe Taylor will be happy if he's still standing after the fight!
