English term or phrase: beat up
原句:He thought I was great, I thought he was great, and we had a very good relationship between us—he used to send me out to those boxing matches, and got me beat up.

作者是采访拳赛的新闻记者,不是拳手。He 是他的同事。got beat up 在这是有别的意思吗?

Explanation:
beat up 有一个意思是“badly worn or damaged by use or neglect”

不知道作者在这里是说自己“累惨了”,还是真的挨了揍...
