Birmingham, AL - Professional boxing returns to Pell City on Saturday, December 4. Logan Martin Rumble III, Promoted by One One Six Boxing Promotions, will feature some of the Southeast?s top up-and-coming pugilists for an evening of boxing at the Pell City Center for Education and Performing Arts (CEPA) beginning at 6 p.m.

The main event features Michael Cook, a 34-year-old middleweight from Memphis Tennessee making his sixth appearance with One One Six Boxing Promotions. Ranked 88th in the U.S. among middleweights with a record of 18 wins, 0 losses, and one draw, Cook will face Ernesto Ripas, a seasoned veteran from Guadalajara, Mexico, with a record of 11 wins and 18 losses in an officially sanctioned middleweight bout scheduled for six rounds.

?I?m very excited to have Michael in Alabama for the sixth time,? says Brandi McCain, owner, operator, and chief promoter of One One Six Boxing. ?Michael is a tremendous boxer and a fan favorite, and will rock Pell City Saturday night.?

Also competing Saturday night is Nicholas ?Baby Boy? Adams, a 25-year-old super-middleweight from Pell City.

Adams will face Joshuan Cox, a 24-year-old boxer from Wilson, North Carolina in a super-middleweight bout scheduled for four intense rounds.

"It?s great to be in my hometown again with the love and support that has grown tremendously every day from everyone involved," says Adams. "That is fuel to my body, to be able to show my hometown what?s in the future for Team Baby Boy. Although I won the first fight, this is the beginning!"
