    Yey i know. But try telling someone from East LA that.
    I think its unincoprated city though. Thats why they have a census population count. But you are right its considered the City of Los Angeles. Just counted it because people from East La have always considered themselves a seperate community to the rest of Los Angeles.

    fort worth is smaller than dallas, but has achieved much more in the pro boxing world than its bigger sister city
    fort worth has produced many champs, cruz, curry, ayala etc........plus many good local fighters
    Dallas has a lot of good fighters too, though
