Super Brawlers Make Super Bowl Predictions. 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."
