Madd.luv Eric I'm frm new Orleans I'm a 5 time convict I found redemption also my road n path was different but we found it no matter thts the spirit of Louisiana
Lmao nice try at 12:08 when Spike TV listed his age at 22 👀 instead of 32 🤣 not too many guys can do 12, 13 years in prison and make it to their 12th pro fight still at age 22. Either way, great story and grand fortunes to him in retirement.
Hurt my heart when you broke down about your brother! Teared me up too, it seems you learned from your mistakes and i hope you build your life up with boxing and become more than you ever dreamed of Brotha !!! Best wishes to you and your momma! 🫡👑🥊🖤🥊
Ok first, all praises are due to the Most High. He allowed you to return out of the fire 🔥 Obviously your brother is more of a hard head and a lot tougher but in the wrong way. He went down for murder and had to stay while being allowed to walk you to the gates where the fam was waiting on you. Boxing is the toughest of all sports so we already know you are a warrior. God loves your courage and now he’s building your faith for these next missions he has for you. Much respect to you Brother Eric! Last I wanna say, Floyd was hot you beat one of his fighters. He probably lost a few dollars too. 😂🥊 Also, you are proof that the boxing programs in prison really work and are needed. Years ago they removed them from California prisons for an example. Much props to the BFA! 👑🏁🫡
He could use his mind to make a living not boxing. There is a CEO from a pharmaceutical company should be in prison for a half of US adults deaths from OxyContin painkiller drug. No, he just settled out of court for 6 billion dollars. Our justice system needs corrections or reformation.
This interview caught me off guard. I remember going to his fights downtown in a packed house at the Belle. The only boxer i actually made a point to go see live. Was by far my favorite boxer throughout boxing. The fight he had against Pearson I remember the disappointment on Mayweathers face. I knew he was going to win. It was good to see someone from Baton Rouge putting on for the city in a major way. I'll never forget running into him at Sammy's Grill, with his wife and twin baby boys. The first time I was ever star struck. At 24 years old he truly represented success to me. I had to ask for a pic. I'm glad he's doing fine. Great Video! 💪🏾💯🔥
Thank you so much for always supporting him, that means a lot! I really appreciate you commenting as well. It's so cool to hear stories like this, and I'm glad you got to get a picture with him at Sammy's too.
Happy for you fammo!!! You beat my lil bra Chris fair and square!! He understand you, cause he a beast!!! You just wanted it more, keep on being great pimpin, them babies need, 🙏God bless homie💯 🥊
I gotta tip my hat off to you man , that ending speaks volumes to me and truthfully gives me chills because I know I can do what you've accomplished if I stay disciplined and really want it. I was an athlete who boxed growing up but loved fighting and eventually at 18 got arrested and did 10 years for armed robbery in California and man most the time all I had was training and that punching bag but what we didn't have made me only more hungry my brother was fighting and paved the way for me in boxing while I was down but when I got out it was like this sense of life that only people like us understand like I can't miss out on this second chance no matter what because there's people still in there who wish they can just taste this freedom for one day one hour man. just gotta say thanks for being relatable ima definitely reach out fam take care @therealbanditos
I remember watching him at fights. We fought on different teams, and different weight classes, but I always had major respect for him, and so did his opponents. One fight in particular, he came in wearing a tee shirt that said, "so easy a caveman can do it" like the old insurance commercials. I said to him, "is it that easy, champ?", and he says, "watch.". He proceeded to get in the ring, and demolished his opponent, without even breaking a sweat. After all the fights, they used to feed all us inmates, and I saw him...he said, "I told you.".😂 I was a fan ever since. Eric is a true class act. 💯
You’re a success period! Especially in your leadership as a Father! 💯🥊 A champion in my book! God continue to guide your steps every single day in your journey in this life!!!
