Does anyone have details on Bobo Olson's fights with Maxim and Doug Jones?

By all accounts, Bobo gave Maxim a whupping in their first fight, and knocked him down (more than once, I believe). He won impressively enough that it convinced many people that he could take on Archie Moore - but that proved to be disastrous.

From what I've read of the Jones fight, Bobo was giving him a hard time through about five rounds (perhaps even beating him?), and then Jones found him with some good punches and KO'd him.

 

This seems to be about right for the Maxim fight, off what I have read.

I saw the fight with Jones on TV. I have not seen a film since. You described it about how I remember it. Olson held his own for five rounds. Jones caught him with a right in the 6th and Olson stumbled back after being hit, fell against the ropes, and tried to pull himself up by grabbing the rope, but couldn't beat the count.

 

Here is a write-up on Olson-Jones from Boxrec.
