I was shocked to hear that a man as young as Eric passed. I too sparred with Eric after he retired at King's Gym. He still loved to get in the ring and mix it up. I remember hearing bells and seeing a white flash after being hit by his right. He apologized after checking to see if I was OK. He had a good spirit and a good heart. He will be missed. King,s Gym sends condolences to the family. God Bless.

eric the prince martin...
as humble and decent a man as any who have walked before him. an incredible boxer and an even more incredible human.
i sparred hundreds of rounds with eric over a span of ten years. i may have won a round, but i don't remember that ever happening. but i learned. and for that, i will remain forever in his debt. eric was there for my amateur fights and
my professional debut, constantly smiling and offering positive vibes as only he could. a priceless friend and a hero to any who have known him.godspeed sweet prince...

Eric, I can't believe you're gone. The world will be a smaller, sadder place without you.
I trained with Eric for six years and it was about the hardest thing I've ever done. But the mutual respect and the quality of our relationship is one of the highlights of my life.
I wrote an article about training with Eric that was published in an online literary magazine:

It is almost impossible to describe what a unique, special, wonderful human being Eric was. He will always be one of the most important people in my life. I am profoundly sad for his family and all those who loved him as I did.

Eric the "Prince Martin, I can't say enough about you. We trained together. He would religiously call me at 4 a.m. to go running. I never would have gotten up that early if it wasn't for Eric's determination and drive. I never ran before, and it was Eric who started me off running. Most important, he was a true friend. He always made everyone smile and laugh. You would never expect him to be a fighter and know that he could knock you out, because of his great humble spirit, always smiling. I will remember you and never forget you.. ...and learn from your personality.

The greatest gift God gives his children is to bring them home. Though I will miss "E" immensely, he lives on in my heart and the many memories we created together. Eternal peace be with "The Prince".

I knew Eric at City College when we were both on the boxing team. I was the only white guy and he always treated me with friendship and respect. A few years later when I suffered a serious injury, Eric was there getting me back in shape. It's been over 20 years since I last saw him but I've always remembered his spirit and kindness. I will miss my friend. My thoughts go out to his family during this time.
