I agree with all you've said except that you should never ever do A it all depends on the situation. A fight doesn't last all that long when it gets to punches. Chances are if he throws the first punch and connect, it will be over. If the fight is unavoidable and will happen for sure (the other is really just there looking for a fight, you're getting mugged, you can't flee etc.), you better get your opponent out of condition asap and get away.
