Manny Pacquiao made a bold statement on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Wednesday when he revealed that he thinks Timothy Bradley knows that he lost their previous fight.

"But, you know, because of the pride and because of ego, he claims that he won the fight," Pacquiao told Kimmel.

The two boxers will step into the ring for the second time on April 12 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Bradley and Pacquiao first fought on June 9, 2012 and Bradley won by a split-decision becoming arguably one of the most controversial matches in history.

The host asked Pacquiao if he's focused on a knockout rather than points this time around.

"I'm not thinking about the knockout," Pacquiao told Kimmel. "If the knockout comes, it will come. My focus is more aggressiveness, throwing more punches. I want to prove to him that my killer instinct is always there."

Kimmel also brought up the number of negative remarks Bradley has said about Pacquiao. For example, Bradley claimed his Filipino opponent lacks a "killer instinct" and the only way he'll win is by knockout. Kimmel asked whether or not those words hurt his feelings.

"It's more of a challenge to me. It's inspired me to work hard, to focus," Pacquiao responded. "The last time, I was too nice to him in the ring. This time, I'll finish the fight then I can be nice."
