Loving the buildup to this fight. Loving the buildup. Still think Guerrero stands slim chance to none but liking the confidence him and his dad are showing.

FOH you clueless bastard. Gangs were around way before the Bloods and Crips were even thought of.

Cuz bloods and crips are the only gangs in Cali right. Idiot.

Drama. They all look ****** if nobody nuts up.

This post makes no sense. Just because its a small town if that gang was really doing that much work they'll get notice. And not all gangs are from Cali but that's where it originated, its what most gangs in different states try to imitate.

Not really...

Bowery Boys were mostly single males who frequented the saloons and brothels of the Bowery and dressed in black stovepipe hats, red shirts, black flared trousers, high-heeled calfskin boots and black vests, with oil-slicked hair. One famous member of the Bowery Boys was William Poole, also known as Bill the Butcher.

The Bowery Boys often fought Irish gangs from the Five Points such as longtime rivals the Dead Rabbits and were affiliated with the "Know-Nothing", or "American", political party which lasted from 1849 to 1856, and the Civil War era ********ic Party. Herbert Asbury's book The Gangs of New York clearly states that the gang was most famous for helping the nativist movement. The party, which ultimately replaced the Whig party in New York, was made up of Protestants calling themselves "native born Americans" to differentiate themselves from Catholic immigrants they opposed. Originally, it was a branch of Tammany Hall but decided to go on its own after many disagreements. The Bowery Boys, deciding to align themselves with the American party, had many fights with the O'Connell Guards, who decidedly aligned themselves with Tammany Hall.

During the New York Draft Riots of 1863, the Bowery Boys took part in much of the looting while fighting with rival gangs. By the end of the decade, however, the gang had split into various factions as the Bowery Boys gradually disappeared.
