Of course, we can instead toss DX, and have:
Big Guy: ST 12(20), DX/IQ/HT 10, Brawling@DX+6(20)=16
Punch 1d-1, Kick 1d, Dodge 8, Parry 11
Small Guy: ST 8(-20), DX/IQ/HT 10, Brawling@DX+16(60)=26
Punch 1d-3, Kick 1d-2, Dodge 8, Parry 16

Small guy can use a rapid deceptive (-1) kick, and hit 1.1 times per round, or 0.48 if Big Guy retreats; his average damage per strike is 1.67, for a total average per round of 1.8 or 0.8. Big guy is probably best off just swinging for criticals and hits 0.11 times per round; his average damage per strike is 2.5, for a total of 0.28 per round. Pretty sure big guy loses that one.
