This is a picture of someone doing a clean and jerk. From viewing both exercises, this is the difference I see. The clean and jerk is an explosive movement using very heavy weights to increase strength in the forearms, quads and shoulders.

The cuban press is by design going to employ very light weights to hit each area of the the shoulder (anterior, lateral and posterior) and the trapezius.
