If they fought

A statistical read on a fight that does not exist — no market, no booking, nothing to grade it against.

Merab Dvalishvili 78% Song Yadong 22%

Run as an unbooked fight, the numbers favour Merab Dvalishvili at 78% — the widest kind of gap these reads produce.

Our two reads agree on the winner but not on the margin. Both name Merab Dvalishvili — 78% on the first, 56% on the second, a gap of 22 points. The wider that gap, the less settled the read.

The same read puts the chance it goes the full distance at 57%.

These figures come from the same statistical reads we run on real cards, with the betting market removed — there is no market on a fight nobody has booked. Nothing here is timestamped against a result, nothing here is graded, and none of it counts towards our public record. It is a thought experiment with real numbers behind it.
