Donaire vs Rigondeaux, Prediction

Tonight, Donaire faces the young cuban amateur standout and olympian Guillermo Rigondeaux. Rigo, is vastly experienced in terms of amateur fights but only has 11 fights as a pro, and oddly enough already holds a title. He has tremendous hand speed and good power, but, in my estimation thats really all I know. He has 11 fights so I can't really gauge him. Donaire on the other hand is a spectacular professional fighter with speed, power, and unbelievable craft. We know Donaire can compete on the elite level, we don't know about Rigo.

What should happen
It is supposed to be a good fight between two good fighters, even though one of them is a great amatuer and the other a great champion. But, if Rigo is as good as we are told, then it should be a good fight, but Donaire should prevail.

What could happen
Rigo could surprise us all and be far superior to the larger Donaire. Perhaps he could beat Donaire up, or outclass him over 12 rounds?

What I think will happen
While Rigo is a good fighter, highly skilled, Donaire is great and highly skilled with the professional experience to go with that. I think Rigo is well out of his league, no matter how skilled he is. He is going from decent fighters to elite and I don't think it will last very long, or, as long as Donaire allows it to go. I will be surprised if Donaire does not stop him.
