Brandun Lee and Samuel Teah cleared the final hurdle before their junior welterweight ShoBox fight Wednesday at the Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Conn. (Showtime).

Lee and Teah on Tuesday weighed in at 139.75 and 139 pounds. The division limit is 140.

Lee (21-0, 19 KOs) is a hot 21-year-old prospect who has stopped his last 12 opponents, eight in the first round. The resident of La Quinta, Calif., has never been past the fourth round.

Teah (17-3-1, 7 KOs) is a solid veteran and arguably Lee's toughest test to date. The native of Liberia, who lives and trains in Philadelphia, has never been stopped.

"People are saying this is my step-up fight," Lee said. "I know Teah is a veteran and has beaten some decent prospects. I'm looking forward to bringing the best out of him. . Teah's never been stopped before. I know he's going to be aggressive and come forward.

"He's a combination puncher and likes to hit the body. Whatever he brings to the table I'm ready to do what I do. The test would be if he took me to later rounds, since I've never been past four."

He went on: "March 10, I'm here to give the people what they want. People want to see knockouts so that's what I'm here to do. Every time I get in the ring, I'm learning something new.

"By me knocking these guys out, of course my confidence is growing each fight, but I can't underestimate anyone."

Lee hopes to get a shot at a world title by the end of the year.

"Definitely by the end of 2021 I would love to have my hands on some sort of world title," he said. ". Jaron Ennis won a world title, and I think it's almost time for me to go for mine."

Teah expects his experience to be a significant factor in the fight.

"On paper, he would be the best prospect I've faced, but skills-wise you never know until you get in there with him," he said. "Plus, I'm in a different skill level in my career now than when I fought some of the other top prospects like Montana Love, so I kind of look at the opposition differently now.

 "We're not going to discredit the knockouts that he has, but at the end of the day, pretty much all of those guys just came in the ring to survive. I'm not going in there just to survive. He hasn't faced anybody like me, and I've faced much higher quality opposition.

"He'll realize the quality in me is far greater than everybody he has faced. I can show him a lot that he hasn't seen before in the ring."

Here are the weight-in results for other fights on the card:

Misael Lopez (129.75) vs. Jordan White (130), eight rounds, junior lightweights; Steven Ortiz (134.75) vs. Jeremy Hill (134.75), eight rounds, lightweights; and Victor Padilla (134) and Thomas Velasquez (135), eight rounds, lightweights.
