I wouldn't move backward if I was Taylor because he doesn't know how to fight that way as Hopkins showed us. He shouldn't be too agressive because Winky is a good defensive fighter and counter the openings Taylor leaves out on the table.
Taylor needs to use his size and reach advantage by jabbing to keep Winky at bay. He has a good jab and should be thrown over Winky's jab at different angles while moving to the left away from the Winky's left counter hand. Winky is to smart for a loop right hand and will counter it all day. I would follow up the jab with long rights. On inside go with short left and lots clinching John Ruiz style and muscling Winky when he get close enough to land. Winky won't be able to counter in clinch or find his range and it will frustrate him. Taylor also has to get Winky to be more agressive and make him trade shots at the long range.
Winky needs to use his jab correctly, stay inside Taylor's jab, and find the range on the left. Taylor gases so I would counter to the body in single hard counters to body early on. Winky should frustrate Taylor more and expose his inexperience by winning rounds early and splitting the rounds to lower his confidence and put pressure on him to win the fight. Winky should dominate late rounds when Taylor gases again so winning a few early rounds will help alot.
