No Mas TV Guide - 5/22

AC Milan v. Liverpool
ESPN Classic, 4 p.m.
As all football fans are aware, tomorrow's Champions League final is a replay of the 2005 edition, which was also one of the most improbable soccer matches you'll ever want to see. Just in case there are some No Masians out there who haven't seen this, I'm not going to spoil the outcome. But it will blow your tiny little heads off.

Kelly Pavlik v. Lenord Pierre
VS., 7 p.m.
Versus getting on the Kelly Pavlik bandwagon by showing this one-sided bout from last November. I saw this thing - the Ghost makes short, surgical work of his Haitian opponent. The fight was held in Youngstown, Pavlik's hometown.

U.S. Open Highlights
Golf Channel, 8 p.m.
Remember when Corey Pavin was supposed to be the next Jack Nicklaus? This show takes you back to the height of that short-lived furor, after Pavin won the Open at Shinnecock in '95 over perpetual bridesmaid Greg Norman.




Marlon Starling v. Mark Breland
ESPN Classic, 9 p.m.
Mark Breland remains the eternal cautionary tale to any "can't miss" prospect. Never was there more of a "can't miss" fighter than Breland, the five-time Golden Gloves king and Olympic champion. And yet, he never quite lived up to the hype in the pro ranks. In this fight Breland tries to avenge his first pro loss and regain his briefly held WBA welterweight crown.

ECW
Sci-Fi, 10 p.m.
Rob Van Dam & C.M. Punk vs. Marcus Cor Von & Elijah Burke. This might be RVD's final match in WWE/ECW so get the TIVOs ready. Don't worry, though, Franchise keeps telling us he expects to see him in TNA by the end of the summer.
