BRANDO'S SWOLLEN EYES

I've seen the film many times and love it, but Marlon Brando's eyes are really distracting. In some scenes they look normal, but it some scenes they look really swollen. Does anyone know why? Did he get in a fight or maybe when he was sparring or something with his boxing trainer for the film and was hit?

The makeup was yet another irritating thing I found about this movie.

Maybe that's what boxers look like when they've JUST done several rounds and taken blows to the face, but that's not what they look like outside of the ring when they're all healed up.
