Note: The first mission where you beat up Claudia's boyfriend does not count but Beat Up events will be unlocked after this point.

Beat Up events are first unlocked after the memory ‘Beat a Cheat’ in DNA Sequence 1 but none are available until DNA Sequence 2. You can locate them on your map by pinpointing a icon. There are five Beat Up events available to you throughout the game. Completing just one will unlock this achievement.
The first available Beat Up event in Florence is called ‘A Woman Scorned’. It is available after you complete the first DNA Sequence. When the next sequence starts, you will automatically be speaking with Annetta, your family’s live in servant. After that conversation, turn left and you will see a woman glowing white. Press to speak with her to find out that her husband is being unfaithful to her and wants you to beat him up. Accept the mission and when you have control again, follow the yellow crosshairs until it disappears and becomes a green circle on your mini-map. Activate your Eagle Vision (hold ) to locate the husband who will be glowing yellow. Simply beat him up as you did your sister’s boyfriend and the achievement will unlock.

One of the type of missions in Assassin's Creed 2 is to help a wife put her cheating man into his place. The wife will tell you the area where she suspects him of cheating and you will need to go to that area, find him and beat him up until he agrees to be faithful. Once you beat him up and he surrenders the mission will end and you will get the trophy. To find one of these events look on your map for a Beat 'em Up event. Go to it and if it's a woman it will be about her husband.
When you go home after visiting your father in prison, look for the fist icon on the map. You will meet a woman who will say that her husband is cheating on her. Agree to the task and go to the marker. When you find your husband, beat him and after he understands the lesson and runs away, you will be given an achievement.
