Watching live I thought it was interesting how much AJ talked to his corner, asking for advice on what to do. I've transcribed it as full and accurate as I can from the Sky broadcast:
After Round 1
McCracken: Don't drop down to his height, just box him
AJ: Yeah
McCracken: Use your height and reach. You can't get past the jab if you jab up and down and they walk into the right hand OK? Put your legs out, relax
AJ: What do you reckon I can do now?
McCracken: Bit busy with the jab up and down. Start shooting the head behind 1-2, behind 1-2, up on your toes, the odd 1-2 boom boom. Keep him long, keep him long. Don't look for the hooks yet
AJ: It's too early
McCracken: Keep him long, jab back, if you can shoot one there, if you have to feint... hit him with a jab and a 1-2, don't have your hands down, come on be busy, stop him walking in, straight 1-2
After Round 2
McCracken: OK OK when he comes in just follow it with a right hand...
AJ: Little bit more relaxed
McCracken: Yeah little more relaxed. Don't go flat just use your feet when you're in range. Don't go flat in range. Little bit busier, the jab's killing him and up and down with the right hand
AJ: He's just waiting for a hook
McCracken: Yeah but you're gonna keep waking him up with them left rights OK? Every now and then a hook off the jab OK?
AJ: In the centre
McCracken: Yeah and break him down with the reach. Chin down.
After Round 3
Can't hear unfortunately they show replays and Paulie is talking
Edit: Here's a little bit from the DAZN broadcast
McCracken: How you feel, are you OK? Put your legs out. Come on, listen to me! Listen to me! You've got to get back behind that jab, you've got to tie him up on the inside! Take a deep breath, come on listen! You can't load up, you've got to box and you've got to defend-
It cuts out there to show a replay of the knockdowns.
After Round 4
McCracken: Come on listen. All that happened was you hurt him and you rushed in and he caught you. Put your legs out. Do what you gotta do... Solid jab and the right hand, just moving, defending with your head movement and your hands alright? Keep the hands up when you're boxing. AJ's face. Don't come down
AJ: What shot was it?
McCracken: He caught you with a hook because you loaded up, alright? So let's just keep the hands up. Listen you're back in the game, jab jab right hand, calm, you'll break him down you can do this. If you stay busy for two rounds you can do this. Come on!
After Round 5
McCracken: Come on listen listen. All you've got to do is be a little bit busier
AJ: Yeah
McCracken: All you've got to do, just sit down. All you've got to do is be a little bit busier. Box a little bit more. Bit more jabs and right hands OK, little bit busier, alright? You listening? Swallow, listen to me, listen to me, listen, listen you can win this fight, you've just got to be busier, you've got to hit him with the reach, you don't need to be looking for hooks
AJ: Yeah
McCracken: Jab jab right hand, if you catch him don't look for power look to box, because you'll walk him into the shots, it's when you look for hooks he caught you.
AJ: OK
McCracken: Don't look for hooks
AJ: He got me with a hook?
McCracken: Yeah he caught you with a hook because you loaded up with your own hook. Jab jab right hand, listen we've got to win these rounds now mate, come on let's get into gear now. Come on let's get boxing again
AJ: What will he come out and do?
McCracken: He'll come out and try a stalk you and throw hooks
AJ: Yeah
McCracken: He'll try and rush out
AJ: And put him on his back foot
McCracken: Hit him with the 1-2, box all straight stuff, come on hands up. Busier Josh
After Round 6
McCracken: All you've got to do is start throwing your 1-2s alright? Have a drink alright. All you've got to do is start throwing your 1-2s mate. And shoot the odd body shot down that's all you've got to do
AJ: Why am I feeling like this though?
McCracken: You've just got to time him, if you hit him you'll slow him right down. Deep breaths... Come on you can do this... jab jab right hand
AJ: Yeah. What shots will catch him?
McCracken: Left and right, left and right long, and then look for the hook round the side
AJ: What shot caught him though?
McCracken: The jab and the right hand. Come on uppercut and hook as well inside. When you block uppercut come on. Be busier though Josh
