<Snipped quote by Sathanas Rex>

Florian can't get a fast enough stab from his parry position though, so Brennus can get out of his range by stepping backwards while disengaging.

A cut can be parried right after disengaging, while the chance of a grab is obviously rendered null no matter what.

This is true! I've seen incredibly skilled fencers do something like that, even from such an off-balance position like a gran passata. Florian is still at an advantage in this situation, because he could press forward aggressively, but it's definitely not an instant kill. Good catch.
