It is a mini-game and an after thought. It feels like an even easier version of The Witcher. At least in the Witcher I had to time my attacks a little. With this system, you just tap a key to win. I think that is why HtH combat isn't in the game currently is that they really cannot make HtH "fun" or complex. If the game however was a turn based system sure, you can do a lot with it.
Their only hope of having the Brawling system to be "fun" was to go the route Shenmue/Dragon's Lair paved, which is a timing system. Hit the appropriate key at the appropriate time. The more experience you have (Shenmue) the more moves you have, higher your Stamina, more damage your attacks deal in these sequences. Having it as a real time system is just...dumb.
