No Mas TV Guide - 4/24

AC Milan v. Manchester United
ESPN2, 2:30 p.m.

Champions League - the semi-fasizzos. Scroll above for the Madsear preview (Classic will replay the match at 5).

PGA Championship Highlights
Golf Channel, 3 p.m.

An hour show recapping one of the most memorable PGA's of the last 20 years - Tiger and Sergio's duel at the '99 tournament at Medinah. This was the tournament that had everyone believing that Tiger/Sergio was going to be the Nicklaus/Watson of the new millennium. Turned out it wasn't even Nicklaus/Weiskopf.

Pernell Whitaker v. Wilfredo Rivera II
ESPN Classic, 8 p.m.

Classic continues to show off its embarrassment of Sweet Pea riches by breaking out this rematch from September of 1996. Five months beforehand, Pernell had won a narrow split decision over Rivera, one that had the doubters saying that Whitaker's time was near. In the rematch, he silenced all critics, although not with a command performance worthy of the younger P. Still worth a look, though. Even Nijinsky in decline was still Nijinsky.

Pernell Whitaker v. Diosbelys Hurtado
ESPN Classic, 9 p.m.

More Pernell, and this one is really a corker. Hurtado was a fiery Cuban with speed to match the slowing Sweet Pea. Down on all scorecards, and clearly frustrated by the awkward challenger, P reached deep for an 11th-round TKO. One of the key bouts of Pernell's late work.

ECW
Sci-Fi, 10 p.m.

Just five days before he defends his ECW Heavyweight title against Vince McMahon, Shane McMahon AND Umaga, Bobby Lashley takes on just Umaga. Wimp. Also, in an eight-man elimination tag match, the ECW Originals battle the New Breed.

Keeneland Legacy: A Thoroughbred Tradition
TVG, 12 a.m.

A documentary on the evolution of the famed race course and sales company from its beginning in 1936 to the current day. Daily Racing Form writer Frank Mitchell recently sent No Mas a few dispatches from this year's spring session at Keeneland - you can read them here and here.

Jimmy Kimmel Live ABC, 12:05 a.m.
As far as I'm concerned, Iggy Pop is a great athlete, a little past his prime, but hey - so are you. The Electric Ig is on with Kimmel tonight, and later on The Stooges will perform on the show. Gimme danger little stranger.
