Veteran trainers Nacho Beristain and Robert Garcia believe Manny Pacquiao will emerge victorious in his third fight with Timothy Bradley on April 9 at MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Beristain is very familiar with Pacquiao, as he trained Juan Manuel Marquez in his four showdowns with the Filipino boxing icon. Based on what he knows about Marquez's biggest rival, the popular trainer is convinced that the former pound-for-pound king is also confident of winning in his next fight.
Beristain added that Bradley is still the same fighter who lost his World Boxing Organization welterweight title to Pacquiao in their second fight in April 2014.
"No, I don't think Bradley will have a greater opportunity [to win], because Bradley is the same [fighter] - with that stinking, fast and difficult style," Beristain told ESPN Deportes via Boxing News 24. "In addition to being a good fighter, Pacquiao is a responsible fighter, professional. He is not going to walk away with a loss."
Pacquiao, who has a 57 wins against six defeats and two draws in his professional boxing career, has already announced that the rematch with Bradley will be his farewell fight regardless of the outcome.
Like Beristain, Garcia is also expecting a victory for Pacquiao. The veteran boxing coach, who trained Brandon Rios for his fight against Pacquiao in 2013, is convinced that the former eight-division champion will prepare well for the fight, as he is aching to score a scintillating victory for his fans.

"I think Pacquiao's gonna train hard and wants to look good and impress like he was doing 4 or 5 years ago," told Hoopjab. "I think he is gonna come out and win by knockout."
Garcia added that Bradley has not changed a lot even if he parted ways with long-time trainer Joel Diaz and hired Teddy Atlas. He reiterated that Atlas' arrival will not be a major factor in the upcoming rematch.
During his first fight under Atlas, Bradley scored a knockout win against, but it is worth noting that fans and analysts were not too impressed with the California native's performance in his previous fight.
