Not bad advice at all.. He told AJ too tie him up and work the jab, he didn't. AJ seems to have very low ring iq. That's a problem. You can't rely on your trainer to tell you everything you need to do. AJ didn't even enforce the basics against a come forward fighter. Jab and move, tie up. He allowed Ruiz to easily get on the inside and traded which was careless.

And, the worst thing I saw, was the way AJ took punches. Ruiz isn't a crisp or accurate puncher. But, AJ was turning the wrong way, not slipping his head to deflect the impact. He was clenching up and panicking like an amateur.

McCracken has been getting some criticism but his advice was solid enough there

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: 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
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

Very telling. They didn't want anything short because they were worried about the speed. That's why AJ was hyperventilating.

Only bad advice his corner gave him in this situation was telling him to clinch. Ruiz started lighting him on the inside. Good advice against most heavyweights.. bad advice against short Mexicans.
