Maxim, who won a split decision over Charles was 6-1 going in with his sole loss a decision to Zora Folley.
In real life, they fought 5 times, twice while Charles was a big middleweight, and Ezzard won every time, though each time by decision and once by majority decision. So I don't think a split decision win for Maxim is too shocking.
NOTE - the last bunch of fighters recently introduced to the main mix were mostly from the 1950s with a handful of guys from later periods.
