The second Pisanello is pretty good, but Picasso gets the vote for his astounding versatility.

Picasso takes the win, with seven votes against three! He improves to 3-1, while Pisanello takes his bow with a record of 3-2. Picasso will need to win through in Third Round Elimination in order to beat Pisanello's final record.
