Carmen Basilio vs. Bobo Olson

Did these 2 ever fight? If not, who wins this? They didn't fight that much apart in their era's.....I'm sure they have more common opponents, but the 2 that stand out are Sugar Ray Robinson and Kid Gavilan. We all know about Basilio/Robinson 1 and 2, but I've heard Olson was very competitive with SRR in their 2nd fight. I've heard Basilio lost to Gavilan, and that Olson beat him. Thoughts?
