What happened: David Benavidez responded to backlash over an elbow that landed on Zurdo Ramirez during their fight, telling Ariel Helwani he is disappointed people think he is a dirty fighter. Benavidez said the contact came in the flow of throwing combinations and insisted he has never fought dirty in his career. The remarks came as he broke down his stoppage win over Ramirez.

Why it matters: Benavidez has been positioned as one of boxing's most exciting fighters, with Helwani recently hailing him as the sport's most must-watch attraction. How fans and sanctioning bodies read the elbow could shape his case for a long-sought super-middleweight unification against Canelo Alvarez or a move up to light-heavyweight title fights. Reputation matters as much as results when negotiating those bouts.

What to watch: Watch for any commission review of the elbow and for Benavidez's next callout, with Helwani's show returning Tuesday for further breakdown of the win.
