Antonio Vargas, who represented the United States in the flyweight division at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics, signed a multiyear promotional contract with Top Rank on Wednesday.Vargas, a 20-year-old who resides in Ocala, Florida, will make his pro debut on a date to be determined in February, Top Rank vice president Carl Moretti told ESPN.We had a lot of offers from promoters from all over the world and we were considering several of them when Top Rank made their offer, Vargas said. Its a dream come true to be signed by Top Rank.Vargas, who is ambidextrous, was 123-7 as an amateur. He would like to fight early on as a junior bantamweight, but probably will be a bantamweight soon.My first couple of fights as a pro, if I can, I want to fight at 115 [pounds], get a little title shot, then move up to 118, Vargas said. But Im growing. I remember in the amateurs, at the Olympics, making 114 was really hard for me. But if I cant make 115, Ill fight at 118 for my first couple of fights.I like to bring the fight, Vargas said of his style. I can box -- I can be nice -- but I just love to throw punches and let the fans see a good fight. Ive been working with my trainer, Tito Ocasio, the last couple of months now, since I came back from the Olympics. Hes more of a professional-style coach. Hes trained several world champions. I decided to train with him because hes one of the best professional coaches in Florida right now.At the Olympics, Vargas lost to eventual gold-medal winner Shakhobidin Zoirov of Uzbekistan in their second-round match at 114 pounds.Antonio is an extremely gifted amateur who will flourish in the pro ranks, Moretti said. Combine that with his popularity in the Central Florida region, where Top Rank will be promoting numerous shows with our partners All-Star Boxing, [and it] should catapult Antonio quickly as an attraction.Vargas amateur accolades, besides the Olympic berth, include being named the 2015 USA Boxing Elite Male Athlete of the Year, as well as winning gold medals in 2015 at the U.S. Olympic trials, Pan American Games, National Golden Gloves and U.S. national championships. He also won gold medals in 2014 at the National Golden Gloves and Pan American Youth Championships.Im extremely happy for Antonio to have this opportunity with Top Rank, said Vargas manager, Dave McWater of Split T Management. Hes worked his whole life to be the best, and in signing with Top Rank he is now with the best. Wholesale NFL Jerseys Authentic .

BALTIMORE -- In a duel between first-place teams, the most notable performances were turned in by Mark Trumbo, who hit his major league leading 30th home run, and Kevin Gausman, who pitched seven shutout innings.Chris Davis was the difference-maker, however, in the Baltimore Orioles 5-2 victory over the Cleveland Indians on Saturday night.Though Davis is known for his mammoth home runs, the hustle of the 230-pound slugger helped propel the Orioles past the AL Central leaders.With runners at the corners and one out in the first inning, Davis hit a potential double-play grounder to second base. After the force at second, Davis beat the relay by a step to get an RBI and keep the inning alive.Thats a play that needs to be made, Indians second baseman Jason Kipnis said. Tip your hat to Chris Davis for running so hard down the line.Trumbo followed with a no-doubt shot to left off Josh Tomlin (10-3) for a 3-0 lead.Davis has eight fewer homers than Trumbo and is batting just .228, but his 59th RBI was pivotal for the AL East-leading Orioles.Huge, Baltimore manager Buck Showalter said. Chris runs balls out.Pedro Alvarez also homered for the Orioles, who will seek to complete a three-game sweep Sunday. Cleveland has scored three runs in 18 innings thus far.Trumbo has homered in each of the first two games. Playing in his first season with Baltimore, the 2016 All-Star already has eight more home runs than last year and is just four short of matching his career high, set in 2013 with the Angels.Hes been very valuable, a real consistent human being, Showalter said.After earning only one win in his first 16 starts, Gausman (2-7) struck out seven and allowed only one runner past first base. The right-hander gave up four hits and walked three but was backed by three double plays.Brad Brach surrendered a two-out, two-run single to Lonnie Chisenhall in the ninth before Zach Britton got the final out for his 32nd save. Britton tied Willie Hernandez of the 1984 Detroit Tigers for the longest save streak to start a season by a left-hander, according to STATS.Thee Orioles improved to 35-14 at home and 18-6 against the AL Central.ddddddddddddAlthough Tomlin settled down after the rocky first inning, Alvarez chased the right-hander with a leadoff homer in the seventh, and Jonathan Schoop added an RBI single off Jeff Manship for a 5-0 lead.Tomlin struck out eight, walked none and allowed seven hits in falling to 6-1 on the road. He has given up 24 homers this season, matching his career high.Were it not for Davis, his line would have been much better.I wish hed have run slower, Indians manager Terry Francona lamented.NEWCOMERThe Indians signed LHP Joe Thatcher to a minor league contract Saturday.
