Round 5

: Wan Wah lands three of three quick punches and then scores with a leg kick. Chiang is barely able to walk thanks to all the damage to the legs he has been forced to take.

One night tournaments do tend to be unpredictable with regards to injuries, but that's still a sad way to end this particular fight.
