Mexicos Misael Rodriguez, who claimed a bronze medal at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics, has signed a promotional agreement with Richard Schaefers Ringstar Sports.Terms of the deal, which was announced Wednesday, were not disclosed.Rodriguezs medal in the middleweight competition was the first for a Mexican boxer since Cristian Bejarano claimed a lightweight bronze medal in the 2000 Sydney Games.After I came back from the Olympics, I knew that it was time to start my professional career, Rodriguez said. I am excited to have signed with Ringstar Sports. I have always appreciated Richard Schaefers approach on developing talent into boxing stars. When the time came, picking my promoter was easy. I knew that this is where I wanted to be.Schaefer, the former chief executive and co-founder of Golden Boy Promotions, left the company 2? years ago after a falling out with co-founder and principal owner Oscar De La Hoya. In June, Schaefer founded Ringstar Sports.Last month, Schaefer signed his first two fighters, 2016 U.S. Olympic lightweight representative Carlos Balderas and his brother, bantamweight Jose Balderas. Now Schaefer has his third fighter and is excited to have signed a crowd-pleaser in the 22-year-old Rodriguez.Hes very exciting, Schaefer said. Hes not as polished or advanced as Carlos Balderas, but he is exciting and he comes to fight, and that is what I like. While I appreciate the sweet science, fans like to see toe-to-toe action, and that is his style.Hes going to be the ultimate entertainer and will follow in the footsteps of some of the great Mexican warriors who go and thrill the fans. We are going to take it slow, but he has that it factor. He knows how to entertain. His personality, his laugh, his smile -- absolutely incredible and that is what really attracted me. Hes a nice, polite, kind young man who loves to entertain fans.Schaefer said Rodriguez likely will fight professionally either in the 160-pound middleweight division or 154-pound junior middleweight division. His pro debut, Schaefer said, probably will take place in February in Los Angeles on the same card on which the Balderas brothers will have their pro debuts.Im thrilled to be adding another promising young potential superstar in Misael Rodriguez to the Ringstar lineup, Schaefer said. This is a young man who has overcome every obstacle thrown his way. He is mentally strong, has great skills and I expect him to have a very long, successful career. Im looking forward to helping Misael and his family achieve their goals, and I hope to make him a household name in the sport.Rodriguez went 104-22 as an amateur and claimed bronze medals at the 2014 La Romana Cup, the Independence Cup and the Pan-American Sports Festival, in addition to a silver medal at the Veracruz Central American and Caribbean games. In 2016 he earned a silver medal at the American Olympic Qualifier. He is anxious to get his pro career going.I look forward to showing the world the passion and heart I have for the sport I love, Rodriguez said. Becoming a world champion has always been a childhood dream, and now it is my No. 1 goal.Adorno signs with Top Rank?Junior lightweight Joseph Adorno, a 17-year-old born in Union City, New Jersey, and raised in Puerto Rico, signed with Top Rank, the company announced.Adorno, who was 178-22 in the amateur ranks, made his professional debut on Dec. 2 and scored a first-round knockout of Guy Newman at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia.I can do it all in the ring, but my main plan is to stay calm, use my jab and a lot of hard combinations, Adorno said of his fighting style.

The Oilers come in having lost five in a row (0-4-1) and 16 of their last 20 games, dropping a 2-1 decision to the Vancouver Canucks on Tuesday.PITTSBURGH -- Adam Wainwright is still in search of his best stuff. His bat made sure his best wasnt necessary.The St. Louis ace drove in three runs and survived five occasionally bumpy innings to pick up his first victory since mid-July as the Cardinals drummed the staggering Pittsburgh Pirates 12-6 on Monday.Wainwright hit an RBI-double off Chad Kuhl (3-3) in the second and added a two-run single in the fourth as the Cardinals held on to the second wild card spot in the National League by sending the Pirates to their seventh straight loss.We needed that win, Wainwright said. We need every win that we can get coming down the stretch. Any part that I can play in that is a treat for me, a privilege.Wainwright (10-8) allowed four runs and struck out five as his ERA rose to 4.61 while picking up his first victory since July 16. He hardly needed to be sharp as the Cardinals battered Pittsburghs beleaguered pitching staff. Jedd Gyorko and Matt Adams homered for St. Louis to extend the teams streak of games with at least one home run to a club-record 24.Andrew McCutchen and Adam Frazier hit home runs for the Pirates, who have been outscored 47-22 during their current slide.

We just have to keep going.St. Louis pounded out 14 hits -- eight for extra bases -- against five pitchers and wasted little time getting to Kuhl, who has been steady if not spectacular since joining the rotation full-time a month ago.Wainwrights double to the wall in center field put the Cardinals in front and Stephen Piscottys two-run double later in the inning gave Wainwright an early cushion, one he flirted with giving away. Pittsburgh touched him for two runs in the bottom of the inning but Wainwright avoided major damage.I hate giving up runs after wwe score, Wainwright said.dddddddddddd Thats driving me crazy. But what we did do well there is we held them to two. We could have let that inning get away from us, and we didnt.Jeff Locke came on relief of Kuhl in the third and the Cardinals quickly went to work. Kolten Wongs RBI single against him made it 4-2 and Gyorko opened the fourth with a long home run down the left-field line for his 26th of the year.Wainwrights bloop to left later in the inning pushed St. Louis lead to six runs and allowed Wainwright to leave after five innings in which he needed 93 pitches to get 15 outs.He was at 93 pitches, and were in September, Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. The first two (innings) were stressful. To me, weve got a lead that we think our bullpen can hold. I guess your greatest argument (for leaving him in) is you want to see him hit again.TRAINERS ROOMCardinals: Piscotty left in the fifth inning after being hit in the wrist with a pitch though Matheny said X-rays were negative. ...
