Hold up a 2yr olds fist.
Even if the 2yr old can punch with the same force and velocity that you can, it can only hit a relatively small portion of your face. Hit the baby in the face and you hit their skull, nose, eyes, chin, not to mention crush their forehead.
So even pound for pound, force for force, velocity for velocity, on equal terms, with equal power, the larger will win.
If it's hitting with the same force and velocity, wouldn't the smaller actually be more dangerous? That's focusing more energy on a single point rather than spread out over a larger fist's area. I'm thinking cannonball versus bullet here, and could easily be way off the mark.
But, as you also stated, this is if things are "even-steven." Can we readily assume that? Maybe Lalafell are physically denser than we give them credit for. Or their musculature allows them to absorb blows more readily. I doubt SE put that much thought into it, though.
