Did Floyd Mayweather Actually Knock Logan Paul Out?

A video made the rounds on Monday morning that claims at the end of one of the rounds Floyd Mayweather actually knocked Logan Paul out, but held him up so he could continue the fight.  I have to admit I shelled out the $50 to watched the fight and completely missed it.

I'm not sure what the benefit of holding Paul up and keeping the fight going is, but I'm not rolling in the cash like Mayweather is.  So I'm not going to question it.  It does appear as if Mayweather catches Paul with a right-hand before putting his lights out with a left hook.

Paul does stagger and it does look like he went limp for a second.  Mayweather then wraps him up and does look like he's helping Paul stay on his feet.

But who knows?  Take a look and judge for yourself.  I would like to think if Mayweather did knock him out he would have let him hit the canvas.
