it would be a HTBT moment for me. Depends how the fist was raised, what angle it's at, how close it is to the opponent, etc.
And if the opponent actually does throw a preemptive punch, you can get them both for fighting. The rule is there to allow us to punish a player who does something that isn't necessarily considered fighting but leads to a fight; like the OP could have but didn't (due to good officiating).
