Let's make this birthday one to remember.

71 years old (Born on February 09, 1954)

Happy Birthday, Alfonso Zamora! You knocked out opponents faster than most of us blow out birthday candles. From March 1975 to November 1977, your reign as WBA Bantamweight Champion was legendary—ten successful title defenses made you the undisputed king of the ring and a nightmare for challengers everywhere.

Even today, fans recall your lightning-fast punches and fearless style with awe (and perhaps some sympathy for those who faced you). May this year bring joy equal to every knockout punch you've landed—and may no one dare challenge you when it's time to cut the cake. Cheers, champ!
