Judah did well, but it was always likely that if that happened Floyd would make adjustments and find a way to win. He dished out a fair old slapping over the course of the fight.
The main question you want to ask is, are the networks interested? My guess is no, and for that reason the fight won't happen.
Hatton v Urkal - Is ANYONE Interested?

Not an ideal opponent no, but more worrying is what appears to be the lack of mid to long term planning of Rickys career.
If it was Urkal next with a big one signed and sealed for later on in the year you wouldn't mind so much but Team Hatton don't appear to know what they are doing from one fight to the next.
We don't even know what weight he is going to be fighting at much less who against.

There's no way to dress this up as a good fight. Urkal is past it. And what's the point of leaving your best weightclass, to avoid crap mandatories, only to fight equally crap mandatories at the higher weight? It's all well and good Fight Academy saying they've delivered two world titles in two fights, but has Hatton actually benefited from those WBA belts? Or have they caused more hassle than they're worth?
