Kemp misses with a straight right.
That's one minute gone in the round.
A lazy left from Perera finds it's target.
The referee calls the doctor in to look at Ross Kemp's cut. Oh no, the doctor has called an end to the bout!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:14 of round 5, we have a winner by way of TKO (Cut). Kusal Perera!
Kusal Perera decided to thank the fans in attendance for making a great atmosphere. It seemed to go down pretty well.
