Manny Pacquiao will be facing Timothy Bradley for the third and final time on April 9 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. It will also be Pacquiao's final professional fight as he prepares for his senatorial bid in the upcoming national elections in his home country of the Philippines.

His longtime trainer, Freddie Roach, has already predicted a knockout win over Bradley in nine rounds. "Manny wants to go out with a bang and knock Tim out so I predict a knockout in nine," Roach said.

However, one boxing analyst countered Roach's prediction with his own. Chris Williams of Boxing News 24 is adamant that Bradley will finish Pacquiao's career with a big win. He compared "Pacman" to an old lion on its last legs and ready to get dominated by a much younger lion.

"I see Bradley using his boxing skills, movement, and a sharp jab to totally dominate Pacquiao on April 9 in their fight on HBO PPV. This is going to be an easy fight for Bradley once he sets the pace of the fight in the early rounds," Williams predicted.

Teddy Atlas Is the Difference Maker

Williams pointed out that the "Desert Storm" would have won his second fight against the 37-year-old Filipino fighter if he was trained by Teddy Atlas. He described Bradley's game plan in that fight as the worst he saw in boxing, but changing trainer was his best career move, yet.

"He's got a new trainer in Teddy Atlas, and he's fighting better than I've ever seen before. Bradley always had the talent to be one of the best, but he would hurt his own cause by mixing it up too much against guys with better power than him," he said.

The 32-year-old American boxer hired Atlas as his new trainer and helped him prepare for his fight against Brandon Rios last November.

"I am confident with Teddy Atlas with me. He has great boxing knowledge. I want that knowledge. We can do some damage together," Bradley said. He won his match against Rios and his first TKO win in three years.

Pacquiao Arrives in Los Angeles

The eight-division world champion has arrived in Los Angeles for his final preparations for his retirement bout. Despite backlash from his recent LGBT comments, Pacquiao was met by a lot of fans and media at the Los Angeles International Airport last Saturday.

He said that he is very excited in finishing his training in Hollywood. Roach's famed Wildcard gym is located right in Los Angeles.
