Even for all that the general had acted first, Fives was trying to go easy on him. Obviously this wasn't something that was necessary. He could tell from the way the man moved to avoid his knee, and how he set himself to punch.

     The clone jerked his head as far to the side as possible once Hux's fist came down, or at least to minimize the blow if it came at an angle than straight downwards. One hand down and one hand up meant that Hux couldn't completely pin down the trooper, and he left himself just as much of a target as he thought to make Fives there on the ground.

     Fives held nothing back as he balled up his own fist, swinging not moments after Hux had made his own attempt, trying to catch him off guard while the man had to move inwards with his own attack.
