Joe Goosen and Teofimo Lopez Sr. have featured alongside their fighters in previoius episodes, though this week's guest is another special one as The Ring's three-time Trainer of the Year (2011, 2012, 2024) arrives for a long-awaited chat with Rick Reeno.
It's the longest episode of the Mr. Verzace Podcast yet and naturally, there's plenty to get into.
Vergil Ortiz could be poised for a middleweight move, Bam Rodriguez-Naoya Inoue continues to be discussed for early 2027, while WBC lightweight champion Raymond Muratalla has stressed a desire to move up himself.

- Robert's beginnings in boxing, impact of his father on his career and Mikey Garcia
- Retiring young, what stopped them both from returning in their careers?
