Taylor knows he is going to lose and here is why.

[El Kabong]

Taylor will give Manny Sterward another headache during the fight. Taylor will be more disobedient this time. Almost like when Steward-Hamed situation against MAB.

...if that's the case it'll be the last time they work together.

If Taylor does what Steward tells him to it'll be a much easier fight....jab, move, slip and counter
