Let's make this birthday one to remember.

72 years old (Born on March 21, 1952)

Happy birthday to Alfredo Escalera, the man whose mighty punches made opponents wish boxing gloves came padded with pillows! Your legendary ten straight defenses of your world championship title still echo through Puerto Rico; rumors say challengers still cower just hearing your name. Even today, jokes warn: "Don't anger Alfredo, or he'll come out of retirement and defend that belt again!"

But seriously champ, thanks for inspiring so many, reminding us all how strength plus heart equals timeless greatness. May your celebrations be filled with joy—just remember: keep those cake-cutting punches gentle. Cheers to another round in life's ring!
