Something like either dividing both skills by two or subtracting some number from both.
Does anyone know where I can find this rule in the Dungeon Fantasy Roleplaying Game boxed set books?

The "reduce skills" thing is not usually done for combats (it's for Quick Contests). If you have a character with very high attack skills or defense skills, look for Deceptive Attack (Attack Option), where you take -2 to attack for -1 to the foe's defense. If you voluntarily reduce your skill to 16, you get the benefit of maximum critical hit threshold barring special or house rules, still only fail on a 17-18, and reduce your foe's defense as well.
It's a core part of the game, but easy to overlook.
