Can someone tell me a bit more about Dmitry Bivol?

Youtube him, bro

I've seen a couple highlights. Nothing extensive. I'm just looking for a perspective from someone who followed him for a bit and can tell me more. The HBO highlights vs Barrera doesn't tell the tale for me.

Kinda reminds me of pre Sanchez Golovkin

His name is worth 22 points in Scrabble.

He is 27 years old

I only watched a video or two but doesn't he have a lot more hand speed than GGG? At least the eye test showed that

He has great movement, controls distance very well and good power. Very smart counter puncher. Very fast hands and can also fight on the back foot. Great timing and defense. Mikey Garcia is actually a very good comparison.
