How is it shown irrelevant? There is no prep here. Iceman starts either in ice form or flesh form. I quick knock in the face would daze him enough to momentarily keeping him from using his powers. He can still be koed you know. Melting or vaporizing him does nothing but atomizing/disintegrating him would kill him. Bobby needs at least some h2o to remain alive. Superman can disintegrate him instantly if he was bloodlusted. The thing is, Superman isn't bloodlusted here and so can only win via knock out.
Also many underestimate the full potential of Superman. Supergirl is shown to be seemingly stronger than Superman. But guess what, this is because Superman holds back. If he didn't then he would be shown to be greatly stronger than Supergirl. This is true since we know that Superman is much stronger than Diana and Diana has physically overpowered Supergirl.
