Let's make this birthday one to remember.

72 years old (Born on January 17, 1953)

Happy Birthday, Leo Cruz! You danced around the ring like nobody's business and punched your way into boxing history. From capturing that WBA Super Bantamweight title in June 1982 to holding onto it fiercely until February 1984, you showed us all how champions roll—fast fists, quick feet, and a smile brighter than those shiny championship belts.

Even today we celebrate your legendary bouts as World Jr. Featherweight Champion; each round packed with skillful moves worthy of replay after replay (and popcorn refills). Here's hoping this birthday packs just as much punch—but maybe fewer punches thrown at you this time!
