Why couldn't Wilder finish Fury?

[LoadedWraps]

Yup.

Wilder is mentally weak. He almost started crying when he seen Fury get up.

Quoted for "truf". The mental game is overlooked in the fight game, and Fury lived rent free in his head before fight night, after he got up from what Wilder clearly thought was a sure KO, Wilder is mentally defeated on a level I think few realize, minus those who have battled depression or the likes. Wilder has less than a punchers chance in the rematch. This is a fighter who came to boxing as a last ditch effort to make it in pro sports and KNOWS his only get-out-of-jail-free card is his KO power, and he just saw his biggest rival get up from not one, but TWO punches, in a combination, and not just survive but GO TO WAR AND HURT HIM BACK. Wilder has been mindphucked on a level many people lose it on, entirely. It's like that cat who saw Terminator walk out of the cemetery in T3 when he survived an encounter with the Terminator in T1. It's not something you recover from without intensive therapy. Wilder would be less stunned if he saw aliens.

Fury actually hit Wilder with a good right hand with about a minute to go that had Wilder backing off for the rest of the round.

^^^^This...he rose from the dead and took the fight out of Wilder with that right and had him holding on. Was one of the the most amazing endings I've seen.
