Jake Paul received his first boxing loss recently, with the content creator turned fighter going down against Tommy Fury in a close match. And while many have still praised Jake Paul for his fight against Fury, one firmer MMA athlete thinks the match exposed his \u201climited\u201d skills in the ring. When speaking about the topic during his ESPN show DC & RC, ex MMA star Daniel Cormier slammed Paul, stating he is \u201cnot as good\u201d as what he initially believes \u201cWhen watching Jake fight against Tommy Fury, he\u2019s not as good as we originally thought,\u201d began Cormier. \u201cBecause Tommy Fury pretty much limited him to just throwing overhand rights. He didn\u2019t have an answer for Tommy Fury, a guy that\u2019s been boxing for as long as Fury\u2019s been boxing. He just kept trying to hit him with the overhand right.\u201d Daniel Cormier calls out Jake Paul\u2019s boxing progress amid Fury loss Following on from these comments, the MMA star then explained how, while his previous performances showed potential, Jake Paul struggled to adjust his performance against Tommy, which ultimately cost him the win. \u201cI respected what he was doing because he beat Anderson (Silva) in a boxing match, and what he had did to Tyron and those guys. So, I did think that he was really improving\u201d Cormier said. But he criticized Jake, saying, \u201cBut I think in watching the Tommy Fury match, it showed me how limited he still is in terms of his boxing development because when that weapon (right hand) was rendered useless. He just kept going to it, and it became more and more evident that it wasn\u2019t going to land. But he didn\u2019t have a plan B.\u201d Jake Paul is yet to respond to these comments. However, we do know that the content creator turned fighter is keen to get back in the ring. With Jake Paul vs Nate Diaz locked in and set to take place in August of 2023.
