So what a night of boxing. Chris Eubank Jr was masterful in his victory against Dmitry Chudinov, Tyson Fury never looked in danger against Christian Hammer before Carl Frampton blew Chris Avalos away.

We leave you now to enjoy what is left of your Saturday night. You would have to go some to beat the evening those in Belfast are going to have though.

It's been a pleasure. Cheerio.

Carl Frampton tells 5 live Sport: "That was a good performance. The lad was very slow and plodding. I kept my composure and I felt I could see everything coming. I felt comfortable. I can punch, and I believe I'm the biggest punching super-bantamweight in the world.

"I think that was my best performance. He is a good, hungry, game fighter, but I feel I am in my prime now. I did over 200 rounds of sparring, and I think that was the reason for my performance. I am the world champion."

More McGuigan, on 5 live Sport: "I know what I see every day in the gym. This kid is unbelievable. I really think he can be one of the best Irish fighters there has ever been. This is the most atmospheric arena in the world. There is nothing like it. You have got to be here to sample it - it is incredible."

Barry McGuigan, Frampton's manager and trainer, tells ITV: "I have said this before. This is the best super-bantamweight in the world, and that includes Scott Quigg. And we aim to prove that. He won tonight in third gear. This guy can do 15 rounds in the gym, he's a sensational fighter, and over the next couple of years we intend to prove that."

Carl Frampton, in the centre of the ring, tells ITV: "Amazing atmosphere, as always, in here. Better and better every time. I felt great in there tonight, absolutely amazing. And to be honest that was easy, very easy. He punched very slow. When he turned his back on me he wanted out, that was obvious. He's a tough guy and he kept his feet, so give him credit.

"Scott Quigg and I would both love a summer showdown between the two of us. Scott needs to remember who's the real world champion. It's a massive fight and it should happen. I would leave Belfast if I have to."

The referee Howard Foster, at the centre of controversy when he controversially stopped the first Carl Froch v George Groves bout, did an excellent job ending that when he did. Avalos is back on his feet, Frampton is seeking acclaim, and Belfast can go on partying long into the night.

A few jeers are sounded by the partisan as Scott Quigg makes his way into the ring to be interviewed. We will bring you what is said soon.

Barry McGuigan is absolutely loving this. While 'the Jackal' is looking calm, composed, cool, his manager is jumping around like a madman and whipping up the already vocal crowd into more of a fervour. Party in Belfast this evening? I think so.

That was mightily impressive. The watching Scott Quigg must have been impressed by that - although he will never admit it. A unification bout between these two is now surely on the cards?

"Carl Frampton certainly has the potential to go on and be a very successful, and long-reigning, world champion."

An oxygen mask is strapped to the face of Chris Avalos. A precautionary measure, we all hope. He fought bravely, gallantly, but he was simply not at Frampton's level.

"Frampton was landing at will, and in the end Howard Foster had to make the right, the only, decision - he stopped the fight."

Barry McGuigan is jumping around around like Tigger in the ring. Joyous scenes.

Still the punches come. Right, left, uppercut. Avalos is in real trouble. Ref has stopped it. It is all over.

A flurry of punches rock Avalos back. The American is on the ropes and the referee moves in. Frampton wrestles Avalos to the floor. No knock down.

"Carl Frampton now has the measure of his man. He is landing shots at will at times. His shots were having a significant effect in that round, and Avalos' legs dipped. Avalos is not finding his range with his own jab, and he's ending up tied up with Frampton outworking him."

Right hand over the top lands from Avalos but Frampton reacts well with a couple of strong shots himself. Avalos's head rocks back as Frampton connects with another shot. Manager Barry McGuigan will be enjoying this on his 54th birthday but Avalos isn't done yet as he gets through with a another shot to the head.

Frampton is on his toes and leaps into another right, left combination. Avalos doesn't look hurt yet but a huge left lands as the ball goes and Avalos is up against it.
