Donaire is good, but I don't see him beating Gamboa. Donaire should move up to 122 and fight Nishioka in March/April after he beats Narvaez tomorrow. Then, of Rigondeaux beats Ramos in December and than has a title defense in maybe May or June, they should match up Donaire vs. Rigondeaux in September/October 2012 for a unification at 122.
If he were to beat Nishioka and Rigondeaux (which is an IF), he could than move up to 126 and fight Lopez, Garcia, and Russell in 2013. By 2014, if he carries the weight fine (and he says he can carry the weight alright), he could possibly move up to 135 by 2014 and set up a fight with Gamboa.
I'd like to see Gamboa fight Lopez (if he beats Salido), Garcia, and Russell just to clean out the division at 126 completely, in order to give Donaire a year or so to get up to 126, but I htink he's done at 126. I reallyt hink he's itching to get up to 135 for fights with Rios, Linares, Demarco, Marquez, Guerrero and making a name at LW.
