When did Wilder really believe he couldn't beat Fury?

[removed]

As soon as he felt Fury's new power he shat himself. He really didn't think that Fury could hurt him.

Coming in at a career high weight shows Fury was in Wilders head.

At the final press conference when Fury pushed him, Wilder sat down and never stood back up during the screaming match.

I saw his feeling of superiority slowly slip away long before the opening bell.

First round he got hit with a heavy jab and he thought “this is different to last time”

Second round he landed the right hand a bit but Fury rode it. Right at the end of the round, he threw a shot, Fury went under it , and went right after wilder. Watch Wilder’s face on the way back to the corner a few seconds later. He understood he wasn’t in with a half fit Fury anymore. Nobody had ever gone right at him like that.

His family on both his father and mothers side have bare-knuckle fighting legends.

I really think wilder is flattered he was able to down fury twice and come so close.
That will be wilder biggest achievement in wilders own mind.
Of course wilder always hoped he could deck fury. Only after fight did he know for sure he could, as he did.

1 at round he hit Tyson with to great right hands didn’t even shake him . That scared DW to death just like suga hill said after 2nd round to Tyson “ he knows what’s going on “

Fury was told that he had to not beat Wildling in the first bout to ensure the rematch. He took a dive in the 12th round of the first bout because there was no way to even call it a draw because it was so one-sided. Wildling knew from the first bout that he had no shot to beat Fury. He talked a big game and all of that but once he was actually in the ring, he knew what time it was. Had the fight gone 12 rds, they were going to try to rob Fury most likely by deducting multiple points from him during the bout to give another draw or SD for Wildling some degree of credibility.

After the 12 th round in the first fight cause TF came back and rocked him bad . Half fit fighter beat you now your fighting total fit attacking style fighter this time . Just watch him pace in the dressing room he looked like a man waiting for his wife to give birth . Nervous crazy

I think it was soul destroying for wilder when fury said outside the 2 kd in first fight, Wilder was his easiest fight. That must have been worrying for wilder

Wilder at no point after 1st fight thought he could beat fury., So don't see him thinking he can win 3rd fight.

[Earl-Hickey]

After a few rounds in the first fight I think he was starting to suspect it. The 12 round proved it to him.

I can't remember the round it was but in the second half of the first fight I remember thinking it was starting to resemble calzaghe-lacy.

Then he got a bit of a reprieve with the two knockdowns, but over the course of 12 rounds it was very one sided and Fury was fighting defensively.

[DaNeutral.]

It was in the 1st round when he ate a big jab off that feather fist fury. It was at that point wilder knew he should of learnt to box or be a Cruiser weight.

The eyes don't lie and his eyes said "oh no I'm in trouble here".
