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. If I have to box, I box. If I have to go get the fight, I go get the fight.Adorno is co-managed and co-trained by his father, Anibal Adorno, and Robert Garcia, one of boxings elite trainers.Adorno was a bronze medalist at the 2016 National Golden Gloves at 132 pounds and won gold medals at the 2015 Junior Olympic National Championship and 2015 USA Junior National Championships at 125 pounds.Hes got a bright future.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio Stadium is sure to be rocking on Saturday when Ohio State and Michigan take the football field, and geologists will find out just how much through the use of seismographs.Ohio State and Miami University professors teamed up with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources to devise the FanQuakes Magnitude Scale, and have planted sensors around the stadium this year to measure the seismic activity created by fans.The scale converts the shaking coming from fans into the perceived magnitude of a naturally occurring earthquake. Ohio States stadium seats nearly 105,000.So far this season, the biggest quake came after Curtis Samuels touchdown catch at the beginning of the second half against Nebraska. The shaking lasted more than two minutes and reached a FanQuake Magnitude of 5.2.Researchers said they expect fans at Saturdays game between No. 2-ranked Ohio State and third-ranked Michigan to take it to another level.The project was conceived as a way to help students understand concepts in geology that are sometimes hard to grasp, according to a statement from Ohio State.Well feature the measurements in classes, so that undergraduates can engage with real-world data and connect it to an eexperience many of them have had in person, said project leader Derek Sawyer, assistant professor of earth sciences at Ohio State.dddddddddddd At a more advanced level, well use the data to teach data reduction and collection as well as wave propagation, earthquakes and the local geology.Researchers say they have been surprised by the effects of music from Ohio States marching band.We expected that the most exciting plays would make the biggest fan quakes, and thats true, Miami University geologist Michael Brudzinski said in a statement. But sometimes the fan quakes grow even larger after the play is done, because the music starts. The music helps the fans to jump in unison, which leads to even stronger shaking of the stands.Jeffrey Fox, a seismologist at the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, said fan quakes present a good opportunity to get people thinking about earthquake hazards in general.As more and more people move to and live in earthquake-prone areas, they should be aware of seismic risk, Fox said. Even in areas such as Ohio, where the risk is low, its not zero. ' ' '
