PACKERS FOR SUNDAY’S SUPER BOWL XLV

LAS VEGAS, NEV. (February 4, 2011) – As they prepare for their own world title battles, multi-division world champions MIGUEL COTTO, NONITO DONAIRE, RICARDO MAYORGA and FERNANDO MONTIEL spoke from their training camps to give their predictions on Sunday’s Super Bowl XLV.

MIGUEL COTTO: “The Steel Curtain of Pittsburgh will drop and close the show on the Green Bay Packers.  I’m going with the Iron City.”

NONITO DONAIRE: “Aaron Rogers is a great quarterback. He throws very few interceptions.  He will lead the Packers to victory.

RICARDO MAYORGA: “I’m pulling for Green Bay.  They fight hard like me.  The Steelers will roll over like Cotto when I dropkick him in our super brawl on March 12.”

FERNANDO MONTIEL: “I'm going with Green Bay.  They are peaking at the right time.”
