I'm having trouble understandng what the disagreement is here.
Clearly, if in your judgement an action by A1 instigates a fighting response from B1 then both players are guilty of fighting. The instigation could be words or actions. That is the rule.
And as Rut said, getting your azz kicked does not mean you didn't fight.
Just means you didn't fight well.
(And I'm tempted to add if you don't fight well & get your azz kicked maybe there's a lesson to be learned, but I wouldn't want to stir anyone up with such an insensitive comment...)
