I don't get why Barerra would say after the fight "I think they should have stopped it sooner."

When it was up to him whether he wanted to continue or not.

Maybe to sell a rematch

I can see a number of things happening. Because it was so bad and wasn't stopped right away and seemingly ignored by the ref and the doc for 4 rounds. They (team mab) could assume they would be expected to continue to fight. Knowing the NC isn't coming they see no choice but to fight on but they also know because the cut is so bad Marcos time in there is limited.
