Lost by 2nd round TKO to Leo Cherry in Beaumont, TX in late February 1967. This was Cherry's first fight also, but unlike Baxter, Cherry did go on a month later to fight one more time in his career.

Rating by: Rocco Del Sesto

Beasley won 3 of first 4 fights while going a 6 round draw with Johnny Pew in the 4th fight. In July 1970 he lost for the first time being knocked out in 3 by Billy Stephen(19-12-1,4). From then through August 1961 he went 4-1-2,0KO including a 6th round KO loss to Tony Alongi an 8 round decision over Wendell Newton and an 8 round draw with Solomon McTier(21-4-2,10KO). In August 1961 he was stopped in the first round by Herb Siler(15-12-0,7KO). Aaron then fought only two times in 1962, in June and July, loosing a decision to Wendell Newton and stopped in the 7th by Al Owens(9-5-1,7KO). He then didn't fight again for a whole year until he was stopped in the 4th round by Levi Forte in July 1963.

Aaron was then out of the ring for close to 2 years until he showed up in Bologna, Italy to take on Franco DePiccoli. It was Aaron's first fight outside the USA and it didn't last long as DePiccoli knocked out Beasley in the 2nd round. Beasley lost two more fights in 1965 before winning his last three efforts that year. In March 1966, he was knocked out in the 3rd round in a bout against Florida Al Jones. A 6 round draw with Al Owens in May 1966 was Beasley's last "successful" fight as he then lost his last 4 career fights, the first by TKO and last 3 by knockouts by Willi Besmanoff, Carl Baker and Pedro Sanchez.
