    I found this really easy in one of the street crimes "canned fish" you have to fight two men but they are really weak. One let me grapple him after one punch and my partner took down the other only seconds later.
    Like people say make sure to land a bunch of punches and counter punches and stay blocked. As soon as you can throw someone down do so and go ahead and hit them again.

    The easiest mission for me was "Boxing clever", a street crime that you can unlocked during the Traffic desk. You will fight against a criminal who is really weak. Hold LT, strike with X and Y a couple time. If he is still standing, finish him with B.

    The fighting in the game is fairly straightforward: Hold LT to target your opponent/get into fight mode, press A to punch, press X then A to counterpunch an opponents attack and press Y to grapple.

    You'll have a chance to practice during a fight in your patrol cases but you cannot get the achievement here (as you will not be an LAPD Detective yet).

    Your first 2 opportunities in cases will come in 'Fallen Idol' if you can drive to the hotel fast enough (don't let your partner drive, it skips the fight) or a fight in 'The Red Lipstick Murderer' at Jacob Henry's apartment.

    I would recommend counter punching for serious damage followed up by a quick punch - a couple of these should do the trick. If you get hit once, you'll lose your hat, so you have to fight defensive. Opportunities will also arise in the street crime cases and throughout more story missions.

    The video will help some as well.
