Mafia is made out of mobsters that make illegal businesses and deals. If a deal or transaction doesn't go their way, they will conspire so it will.A couple of years ago, the Mafia was trying to kill the president of the United States for business issues. The Mafia leaders knew that State of the Union speech would soon take place, so they started working on a plan to kill him.
They knew that it would be anarchy if they killed the president, but they would do whatever it took to eliminate him. The day of the speech came and the Mafia's plan to shoot the president was looking pretty good. The president had finished talking about corruption and then a gun shot was heard. It hit the vice president and missed the president by inches. The policemen sprinted towards the location where they heard the shots and apprehended the shooter. It turned out to be that the shooter was the designated survivor.

Roberto Duran
Roberto Duran is probably one of the best Panamanian boxers alive. He was born and raised in a neighborhood known as "El Chorrillo". He was globally recognized for one particular charactristic: the strenght of his punches, that is how he got the nickname "Mano de Piedra" or Hands of Stone.
When Roberto Duran was in his prime, he won most of his fights. Many of these fights were won by knockout. As he continued fighting and winning, he became much more recognized. Back in Panama he was lionized by most kids. Every boy in Panama wanted to become a professional boxer like him.
During these years Duran had everything he wanted. He had: cars, a nice house, money and sponsors. He had a girlfriend back in Panama and when they both turned 18, they got married. Life was going the way it was supposed to be for him until his wife's parents started to ask him for money. This is the beginning of his downfall.
Duran would give money to his in-laws and they would go to the casino for many hours. They spent every single penny he gave them. Soon Roberto Duran became a casino addict himself and began to lose grasp of his life and actions.
He wasn't meticulous with his money spending and soon he lost everything. This is a real shame because before this, he had won a couple of times the title for World Champion. He even beat some of the greatest boxers in history such as Sugar Ray Leonard.
The Duran vs. Leonard fight was a fight to remember. Leonard was the title holder and he lost, he wanted a rematch to try to regain his title. The rematch took place in New Orleans. For this fight, Duran had gained a lot of weight due to his partying habits and had lost agility. Towards the end of round 8, Duran had a dissension with his trainer and said "no mas, no mas".
Now you can assimilate Duran in a huge crowd because he has gained a lot of weight and changed his life style.
