In "Amigo Brothers," the conflict or problem gets more complicated when the two main characters, Felix and Antonio, realize that they may have to fight each other in the boxing tournament. This first moment occurs when they both win their semifinal matches and advance to the finals, setting up a potential conflict between their friendship and their desire to win the tournament. The second moment occurs when they are both training for the fight and realize that they are evenly matched, which adds another layer of complexity to the conflict. This is shown when the narrator describes how "they both knew that they were going to have to dig deep, to find something inside themselves that they had never found before" in order to win.
