"It's unbelievable. This place is my home. I knock out people when I fight here," said Frampton.
Said Frampton's promoter, former world champion and Hall of Famer, Barry McGuigan, "I said this before, this is the best Super Bantamweight in the world. People think its (Guillermo) Rigondeaux, but Carl is. He is a sensational fighter and over the next couple of years, we will prove that."
Next up for Frampton could be a mega-showdown with WBA Super Bantamweight champion Scott Quigg in what would be a major domestic showdown with world wide implications.
"I want it, It's a huge fight.", said Frampton.
Said Quigg, who was sitting ringside, "It was a good performance. Avalos was game. I want the fight. The British people want the fight."
McGuigan finished by saying, "I am sure Scott would come here. He has to remember who is the real champ and who packs arenas. We will compromise on some issues."
