Why did it take Fury so long to finish Wilder after Rd 3 knock down?

    Wilder last that long, thanks to the referee, otherwise Fury would end him way sooner.
    The referee should have ruled one of the slips as a KD, because fighter can just slip all night, and take time to recover that way.

    Because hes not a power puncher. I mean, he landed plenty of solid shots.... he cant just will a knockout into reality. He landed hard, flush shots... Wilder took them. He simply had the power to dent and hurt Wilder, but not KO him. He was also too caught up in the moment of mauling wilder on the inside to step back once he had Wilder softened up and ready to be taken out, to do more clean work at proper punching range, and would instead go back to needless mauling and would smother his own work too much.

    Fury doesn't have "one punch power." Don't get upset, we know what that phrase entails. It applies here. Either way, who cares, he wrecked him.

    It's the Slick Gypsy way. We like to play with and punish our prey before we eat it, like a cat plays with a bird or a mouse it's captured.

    Lennox Lewis did it to Tyson. He could of had him out of there in 2-3 if he had really wanted to.

    Yep this, Fury said the same afterwards, that he perhaps got a little to close and smothered his own work.

    I also think he was enjoying himself too much and was taking his time. He didn't need to force it and give Wilder an opening, he was on top and could keep him there as long he didn't get too reckless.

    Yes, Lewis actually shared a ring with a French Gypsy (Jean-Maurice Chanet) and he learned more from that fight than he did in all of his others combined.

    Couple of reasons that I could see.

    One, and the most obvious one, is that Fury isn't that crisp or effective a puncher. He was throwing a lot of clubbing shots to Wilder that were busting him up but not doing enough concussive damage to drop or KO him. Secondly Fury was smothering a lot of his work and engaging in a more mauling style that, in hindsight, was probably a smart tactic since Wilder could hardly land anything during those times. Third, Wilder was fighting to survive and deflecting, dodging or blocking a lot of Fury's shots, which were a bit predictable to be honest. Fourth and final one, Wilder's incredible will and heart kept him in the fight. Even when his legs were gone and his eardrum was busted up and blood was pouring from his mouth and he was dog-tired and concussed, even when his bicep looked to have torn and he couldn't get any power on his punches, he hung in there until the very end.

    All in all a great performance from Fury and an amazingly gutsy performance from the former champ. Muchos respect to both men.
