Round 4. Fury coming on, Wilder falls down again. Oh, and I saw the ear gushing blood at the end of 3. So, clearly at this stage Wilder is not doing well and is a different fighter from the start of the fight.

Round 5 and Wilder still with discombobulation and Fury taking advantage. Knockdown, but flash knockdown. Wilder not landing much but not being hurt as Fury is not a power puncher. Ear still gushing. My views are not changing here.
Round 6 more of the same, but Wilder is trading in there and not wobbling. His weakness is no leverage in the legs....ear still gushing. Fury breathing heavy now too.
Round 7 and more of the same, but Wilder has his senses, just no balance. He was stopped and not hurt seriously by a Fury punch since the ear club of round 3.
My conclusion: Rematch. That was the WORST Wilder could do and you can tell by the lack of legs. With his legs he was fine for several minutes, but take away the balance and he had nothing but heart and he had heart. He would have continued.
Wilder should take the rematch and work on the basics. He was parrying for instance much better in the first fight, but he also had the legs to get into position better too. The output was also weaker here and I think partly because he was crocked. It was a different situation.
Rematch: Only a ring gown, train with guard and parrying in mind, more jabbing and work on setting up the power shots more unpredictably. Wilder can do better and even if he loses, I bet he goes the distance.
