[ Ren underestimates Hux. It's true. He assumes the general's not half as sharp as he really is, that-- in the real world-- he's no threat to Ren at all.
That's all true, that it's one of Ren's blindspots.
But Hux underestimates him, too. People who assume he's nothing more than a spoiled child with no skills beyond the Force, who mistake his lack of emotional discipline for a lack of discipline overall... It's to their own detriment.
Physically, he's still a force (heh) to be reckoned with. And so, as Hux's smug smirking and his snide threats have the knight seeing red, Ren lashes out quickly to strike at the general's face with his fist. And then he tries to yank the other man to him, to pull him into a hold, intending to get an arm locked around Hux's throat. ]
