Wilder had his hands down because he was exhausted. His legs were like jelly and he was taking a systematic beating round after round.
If they have an immediate 3rd fight Fury will end it sooner.

Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Right, he couldn’t defend himself although he seemed to have his hands down early anyway. I mean watching it were you concerned it should have been called earlier. I can never say 100% what will happen next fight but I would certainly be leaning towards fury. But I was seriously in fear for wilder at points in that fight

Nope, I was calling for Fury to KO him up until the point it was stopped, I thought they got it just right to be honest, HW boxing generally consists of fighters who are 6ft 4+ throwing bombs at each other, you can't stop a fight every time someone is wobbled out of fear of what "might" happen, if it gets to the point where they are seriously not defending themselves or are taking far too many big shots without reply then definitely jump in, I think if they would have stopped it earlier then you would have had 99% of Wilder fans claiming it was premature, the fix was in, Wilder would have KO'd him if it wasn't stopped etc etc.
I think it was a good stoppage.
Tyson Fury had ‘all the injuries’ before Deontay Wilder fight, reveals trainer
Tyson Fury went into his world heavyweight title triumph over Deontay Wilder with ankles that were “all messed up” according to trainer SugarHill Steward, who gave the American’s excuse of being hindered by his ring walk costume short shrift.
Wilder blamed his poor performance in last Sunday’s WBC heavyweight title contest on wearing a 40-pound costume to the ring to celebrate Black History Month, which he claimed drained his legs of all energy after wearing it for close to an hour.
The additional three stone of attire, lights and batteries took its toll on Wilder, and he claimed his performance was heavily hindered by the outfit after only trying it on the night before the Las Vegas bout.
But Fury’s camp have laughed off the excuse after watching their man stop Wilder in the seventh round when the towel was thrown in from his corner, and trainer Steward – son of the legendary Manny Steward – claimed that Fury had far bigger issues to overcome in the bout after suffering injuries in the build up to Sunday’s bout.
“We had injuries in camp,” Steward told ESPN. “Tyson hurt his ankles, they were all messed up – they have pictures of that – he suffered a cut in training camp.”
Fury also had to worry about reopening the brutal cut above his eye that he suffered in his victory over Otto Wallin, which resulted in the Briton recruiting renowned cut man Jacob ‘Stitch’ Duran to look after the scar tissue during the Wilder rematch.
“Tyson Fury wasn't even getting hit to the head in training camp,” added Steward. “I think in the beginning of training camp, his elbow or shoulder was hurt. He was spotted limping at the UFC (event) so Tyson Fury's the one with all the injuries."
Fury drafted Steward alongside Andy Lee in to replace Ben Davison for the Wilder rematch, having left the first bout in Los Angeles with a split-decision draw that convinced him he needed a new approach to stop the American.
The change of tactic paid off for 31-year-old Fury, with Wilder hitting the canvas twice before co-trainer Mark Breland pulled him out of the fight by throwing in the towel against his wishes.
But Fury may be on the lookout for a new trainer once again, with Steward hinting after Sunday’s bout that he is considering retirement from the professional game.
“I think I am going to retire after this fight, there is nothing else for me to do,” Steward told BT Sport. “I am going to go home and train amateurs after this fight. Bring up some more champions.”

Tyson Fury’s former corner man Freddie Roach warns Deontay Wilder about taking immediate rematch with ‘Gypsy King’
Freddie Roach believes Deontay Wilder should not take an immediate rematch with Tyson Fury.
The American suffered the first professional defeat of his career against the Gypsy King in Las Vegas on Saturday night, losing his WBC heavyweight title as a result.
And the legendary boxing trainer, who was in Fury’s corner for the pair’s first meeting in December 2018, has advised the 34-year-old to have a warm-up fight before going head-to-head with Fury once more.
“I’d like to see him go get a warm-up fight, get a good win under his belt and get his right hand back in action, that’s my opinion,” the 59-year-old told Fino Boxing.
“But rematches are in contracts and so forth, and if he thinks he can fight better and turn it around, I wish him all the best of luck.”
Meanwhile, Roach has paid tribute to Fury for his stunning display against boxing’s most feared power puncher, flooring him in the third and fifth round before forcing his corner to throw in the towel during the seventh.
“He’s a very good fighter, he knows how to box, he’s a very, very good boxer,” he added.
“He got caught with a couple of big shots from this guy last time, he made sure he kept himself in safe places.
“He fought a very smart fight, it was a very, very good fight for him. I was not surprised [by Fury’s game plan] we worked together for a little bit, we’ve talked about the best way for him to fight.
“He did everything he said he was going to do and more.
“It was a great performance, he just knew what he could do with this guy. I think he won every round.”

How often do body shot knockdowns occur in the world's heavyweight title battles? Great to see from Fury
