For your best reading experience, assume that (a) Murphy is lvl 1 genre-savvy and has tried most of the obvious things and (b) the world is out to get him, i.e. when rules are unknown or ambiguous, they usually (though not always) resolve in an unfavorable way.
e.g. in this particular instance I may or may not have decided why this doesn’t work:
(1) Can’t deal damage without a weapon.
(2) Flat Damage Reduction reduces punch damage to zero ⇒ no XP share.
(3) Enemy AGI compared to his unarmed skill ⇒ 99% dodge.
