Higher natural testosterone levels in the aggressive and eventually stronger boys? I was disappointed they didn't even mention testosterone.
The actual relationship of testosterone levels – natural or supplemented – on aggression is quite a bit murkier than, and perhaps even the opposite of, common folklore. See for example:

Note one of the interesting results mentioned there: telling people they got testosterone made them make less-fair offers in a negotiation game... while actually administering testosterone resulted in fairer offers.

Gotta love USA.
Any other language it would be more like "juvenile delinquents stealing money from children"
