To me the 85L II wins by a big margin.

To me the 85L II wins by huge margin in terms of Bokeh quality. I have both lenses and and in my opinion the 70-200 F2.8L IS II doesn't even come close in terms of Bokeh quality in fact, my old 70-200 F2.8L IS MK I has better bokeh than the MK II, so I only use the 70-200 F2.8 IS II for event shooting when zoom is , for portrait I prefer and mainly use the Sigma 50 1.4,  85L, 135L.
