Man, I knew that fact too and shoulda used it. Oh well. That basically ties in to my whole lack of an "even-steven" situation comment a few posts back.
Ultimately, though, whether it's a Roe or a Lala, you're probably going to not want to be punched in the face by either. Through whether mechanics of physiology or whatever, a Lalafell can hit as hard as basically any of the other races. Whether they have to train harder to do it, use a differing style of attack, or just naturally have the same levels of power... there's plenty of ways that we can use to explain it.
So, one shouldn't just brush off being hit by a Lalafell "because they're a Lalafell." However, conversely, Lalafell shouldn't try to perform maneuvers that - while they may be able to do through strength of arm - become more of a physics problem than anything else (i.e. suplexes). And, unless you're a tiny Hulk, you're probably not going to be able to bodily toss a fully armored Roe like he's a ragdoll without some serious explanation.
But ultimately? It's just a matter of communication and concession between those you're RPing with. As with, well, everything in RP. Just as your opponent shouldn't write you off out of hand for being a Lalafell, so too should you at least show enough respect in your opponent's prowess not to just headbutt his punch and shatter his hand in the process. Unless that's what you've agreed on amongst each other to have happen - since that would be a rather rad way to block an attack...
... I'm rambling.
